Not one joke was played, not one trick was pulled. Yesterday Curly was plotting her April Fool's debauchery. I know because she was asking me about spiders and snakes, two things I don't like very much. Plus there was whispering and StinkyMan is at that fabulous age when a whisper is more like a quiet shout. I heard the plans and so I waited.
But it never came to pass. Neither one of them did a thing. I waited and it never happened.
Nothing they could have done would have been malicious, or probably even all that tricky. So instead I waited and watched so I could be appropriately shocked at their trickery.
Maybe the biggest trick of all was that. Let's keep Mommy on her toes all day and then do nothing. That's the best trick ever!
They're not sophisticated enough for that, right? RIGHT? But apparently I am stupid enough to fall for it, intentional or not.
StinkyMan did say something cute today, though. It's the first day of April and so he told his Grammy that "Today is April's birthday."
Cute, right? I KNOW!

Recipe of the Whenever I Get Around to Changing It.
Crockpot Tapioca Pudding (by request)
Ingredients:
2 quarts of 1% milk (half-gallon)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup small pearl tapioca (The only place I found it was Raley's)
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
Directions:
In a four quart or larger size crockpot, combine the milk, sugar, and tapioca pearls. Stir well to mix. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours. You are looking for the tapioca to be soft and kind of slimy. The mixture will not be very thick, but that's how it's supposed to be. Even if it is thick, that's ok too.
In a separate bowl, mix the eggs with the vanilla. Take a 1/2 cup of the hot milk and tapioca mixture and whisk it into the egg bowl. Add another 1/2 cup of the hot milk and tapioca, and whisk that into the eggs, too. Then add yet another. Now you'll have a bowl of yellowy tapioca/egg mix.
Pour the contents of the egg/tapioca mix into the crockpot, and whisk until it is all well mixed.
Cover your crockpot and cook on high for another 30-45 minutes, or until the tapioca is pudding-like in consistency. Unplug and let it sit for about an hour to cool.
Ladle into serving-size bowls and chill in the refrigerator.
Or eat it hot hot hot right out of your crockpot. That's how we do it. So yummy on rainy Fall and Winter days.
Enjoy!
