After waking up to six inches of fresh snow this morning, I knew no one could pull a better April Fool’s day prank than Mother Nature herself. However, I did scroll through several social media accounts to see if I could find some good ones to share with our Members but did not see many. Either the algorithms failed and hid them from me, or perhaps social media managers found it too difficult to compete with real news stories. The few I found:

  • Food52: The site shared the “recipe” for their best cooked water. I thought this one was clever, especially the many steps that were involved. Chef’s kiss.
  • King Arthur Baking: a commercial for Fleur perfume. This one had a slow build, but they did nail the over-the-top feel of boutique perfume commercials. Nicely done.
  • The State of New Jersey posted a food-themed joke involving pork roll, aka Taylor ham, stating that the state was installing the world’s first edible statue featuring the meat.

    I got an email from Rogue Creamery, which is famous for their award winning blue cheese, in Southern Oregon yesterday morning with this subject line “Introducing Dogue Creamery – Where Dogs Can Finally Get Their Cheese Fix”. Then in the email they describe the new products they are developing for dogs and give you a link to the website to click. When I clicked the banner said “Made you click! April Fools”.

    Jamie Oliver in his Book Club announced the April book – 1 Ingredient – by Jamie Oliver – he doctored up a cover from his 7 Ingredient book – it was funny because people were commenting – “oh luckily I already have that book”.

    I guess I was lucky. Nuts.com sent an email trumpeting the “walmond,” a hybrid nut that is half walnut and half almond. And cookanyday.com tried to tempt me with a fish candle. No, not a candle shaped like a fish–a candle that smells like fish. (Where’s the emoji for that?)

Seen anything interesting? Let us know & we'll share it!
