Kitty Litter Cake
1 spice or German chocolate cake mix
1 white cake mix
1 large pkg vanilla instant pudding mix
1 pkg vanilla sandwich cookies
Green food coloring
12 small Tootsie Rolls
1 new (and definitely unused) kitty litter pan
1 new plastic kitty litter pan 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 food processor, scraping 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 5. When cakes are cooled to room temperature, crumble into
a large bowl. Toss with half the remaining white cookie crumbs and the chilled
pudding. (Mix in just enough of the pudding to moisten it. You don't want
it soggy. Combine gently).
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 3 Tootsie Rolls in the microwave
until almost melted. Scrape them on top of the cake; sprinkle with cookie
crumbs. Spread remaining Tootsie Rolls over the top; take one and heat until
pliable, hang it over the side of the kitty litter box, sprinkling it lightly
with cookie crumbs. Place the box on a newspaper and sprinkle a few of the
cookie crumbs around.
Boogers on a Stick
8 ounce Jar cheez whiz
3 or 4 drops Green food coloring
3 dozen pretzel sticks
Melt cheeze whiz in the microwave according to jar directions. Allow the
cheese to cool slightly in the jar. Carefully stir in food coloring using
just enough to turn the cheese a pale snot green. To form boogers: Dip and
twist the tip of each prtezel stick into the cheese, lift out, wait twenty
seconds, then dip again. When cheese lumps reach a boogerish size, set pretzels
boogerd on wax paper to cool.
Thaw sherbert for approximately 15 minutes and place in a plastic tub. Add
lemonade (prepared according to directions) and 7-up. Sherbert will melt
and turn mixture day old bathwater grayish-brown. Float a handful of green,
yellow and white tiny after dinner mints (tiny bars of soap) on top of the
scummy punch.
Strained Eyeballs
6 hard boiled eggs
6 oz Whipped cream cheese
7 oz Green olives -- with pimientos
Red food coloring
Peel eggs cut in half lengthwise. Remove the discard yolks. Fill the holes
with cream cheese. Press an olive into each cream cheese eyeball, pimiento
facing up, for an eerie green iris and startling red pupil! For a final touch,
dip the tip of a toothpick in red food coloring and draw broken blood vessels
in the cream cheese.
Hairball Salad with Saliva Dressing
1 lg Ripe avocado
2 c Alfalfa sprouts
6 grated carrots
Italian dressing
Cut avocado in half and scoop out the pit. Scoop avocado out of the shell
and put in the bowl. Add sprouts to the avocado meat. Mash with a fork. It
is ok to leave some lumps. Set the mixture aside. Divide the grated carrots
among the four salad bowls. Make walnut size hairballs from the avocado mixture
and arrange them on top of the grated carrots. Pour Italian "saliva" dressing
over hairballs and serve.
Core tomatoes with a carrot peeler or knife. Drain excess tomato juice. Using
a butter knife, fill holes in tomatoes with cream cheese. Give each pimple
a gentle squeeze and arrange on a platter.
