Who doesn't like a little something sweet? One of my favorite treats here in Southern Arizona is the soft cookie called a cochito , or little pig. Shaped like --you guessed it-- little pigs, these molasses-chewy delights are not overly sugared and are nearly guilt-free. Cochitos (also called puerquitos or marranitos, depending on which region of Mexico you’re in) are featured as something of a peace offering in Out of Forgotten Ashes.
The Contest: Since today is April Fools' Day, let's hear about your best successful April Fool's Prank -- or the best one someone pulled on you! Comment to this post with your prank, name, and an email address (write it like this: email AT whatever DOT com so the spammers can't pick it up). I'll randomly draw one name at at 2:30 PM Eastern. Winner will receive a package of cochitos from Tucson's favorite Mexican panaderia (bakery). I'll announce the winner in a new post later today.
[Because of the nature of the prize, this contest must be limited to residents of the U.S. only. But don't worry; I"ll run another contest later for anyone anywhere to win.]
Good Luck and let's hear about those practical jokes!
