Mystery Dinner

A great idea for April Fool's Day...
or any other day you want to have fun!


Here's how it works... Your invited guests will be given a mysterious menu from which they choose five courses. The choices remain a mystery to your guests until they are served. That's when the surprises and laughter begin!

Dinner Rules Given to Guests on Arrival ---

* You will be served five courses.
* Each course will contain five items served in the order selected.
* We insist that each course be finished before the next course is served.
* Please list your selection by number. This will help speed up the service.
* Cross off each number as you enter it under your selections. No numbers may be eliminated or used more than once.
* All utensils and food remnants will be removed after each course, leaving a nice, clean table for the next course.
* Don't worry about proper etiquette... have fun!

Planning Tips
When sending out invitations, ask guests to RSVP. Copy enough menus so you have one for each guest. Put each guest's name at the top of his or her menus. Have guests place 5 ones (#1) by the first course items, 5 twos (#2) by the second course items and so on.

Plan on at least one server for every four people, because they will have to read each list separately and fix each plate differently. For example, if a guest orders numbers 5, 7, 15, 23, and 25 for the first course, he or she will be served Jell-O, a knife, a cupcake, toothpicks, and a glass of milk.

Use paper plates, cups, bowls, and inexpensive plastic utensils, because they will be discarded after each course. Take your time when serving... your guests won't mind waiting... everyone loves a little suspense!

Kitty Litter Cake

1 Spice or German Chocolate Cake Mix
1 White Cake Mix
1 Pkg White Sandwich Cookies
1 Large pkg. Vanilla Instant Pudding Mix
Green food coloring
12 Small Tootsie Rolls
1 *NEW* kitty litter box
1 *NEW* kitty litter box plastic liner
1 *NEW* pooper scooper

Prepare cake mixes and bake according to directions (any size pans). Prepare pudding mix and chill until ready to assemble. Crumble white sandwich cookies in small batches in blender, they tend to stick, so scrape often. Set aside all but about 1/4 cup. To the 1/4 cup cookie crumbs, add a few drops green food coloring and mix using a fork or shake in a jar. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled pudding. You probably won't need all of the pudding, mix with the cake and "feel" it, you don't want it soggy, just moist; gently combine. Line new clean kitty litter box. Put mixture into litter box. Put three unwrapped Tootsie rolls in a microwave safe dish and heat until soft and pliable. Shape ends so they are no longer blunt, curving slightly. Repeat with 3 more Tootsie rolls and bury in mixture. Sprinkle the other half of cookie crumbs over top. Scatter the green cookie crumbs lightly over the top, this is supposed to look like the chlorophyll in kitty litter. Heat remaining Tootsie Rolls, 3 at a time in the microwave until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake and sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
