Dumbo Magical Meal


Who doesn't love Dumbo? Or a circus? This meal is so easy, you'll want to have it again and again. Here's the menu:
Dumbo Jumbo Hot Dogs
Peanuts
Corn on the Cob for the Crows
Pink Elephants on Parade Lemonade
Clown Pie in the Face

First cook the corn. Heat oven to 425 degrees. Clean the ears of corn and wrap them in foil. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

Heat a pot of water with your large hot dogs in it. Get the largest hot dogs you can find, bun length or foot long. Let the hot dogs boil for a good five minutes. Then put in hot dog buns. Using ketchup and then mustard make lines back and forth (just like Dumbo's collar in the movie).

For Pink Elephants on Parade Lemonade, you can get a two-liter of pink lemonade or get the mix. Pour into clear plastic cups. Add a fruit garnish by cutting small pieces of your favorite fruit and spear with a toothpick. I like to let the top piece of fruit hang over the top of the cup so the fruit doesn't completely sink.

The main object of the Clown Pie in the Face is to have lots of whipped cream on top! We bought a small pie from the deli already made and took spray whipped cream and covered the top. You can also pick one up in the frozen food section of the store or make one from scratch. Be sure to cover it in whipped cream (Beware of clown-wannabe's getting ideas!).

Get a bag of peanuts in the shell from the produce section of the store. Put them in a big bowl or small bags for each person. Make sure that you have a place to put the broken shells.

Here's Thomas's review of the movie:
Dumbo is a fun movie to watch. It shows the life of an elephant that is different from others. He has to change his "curse" into a "gift" and he becomes famous (sounds similar to X-Men). Dumbo is someone you could relate to. His mother is sweet; the mouse was a funny character, the crows were cool, and everyone else was enjoyable. It's a good movie to enjoy.
