Celebrating Dr. Seuss' Birthday

March 2, 1904 is a celebrated day at our house.  It is the birth date of one of our favorite authors, Theodore Geisel, also know as Dr. Seuss.  We make food that is outrageous or surprising, and have a reading of some of our favorite passages.  This year, we joined up with our friends the Carters, because, hey, the more the merrier!  Toni made crazy colored pasta.  In order to get these vibrant colors,first cook the pasta to al dente then drain and rinse with cold water.  Separate the pasta into 6 ziploc baggies in which you have put some water and enough food coloring to brightly color the water.  Allow the pasta to sit for a minute to soak up the color, then rinse and put back into the boiling pot to reheat.  Serve with butter and parmesan cheese.  The kids loved it!
