From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I could find no photos of pink elephants, but I did stumble on this oddity in the Christian Science Monitor. I thought it would be a perfect addition to the April Fool's Day event that Beverly is hosting on her blog, How Sweet the Sound, for Pink Saturday. The photo was taken on April Fool's Day in 2010 on Istiklal Avenue in Istanbul, Turkey. For reasons I have not been able to divine, the municipality released 100,000 pink balloons as part of its April Fool's Day celebration. Go figure. Truth is stranger than fiction.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE PINK AND BALLOONS - sandie
What a glorious pink occasion that would be to see happen while enjoying some of your great refreshments.
Oh my gosh, peanut butter streusel bread? I can never get away from your blog without bookmarking something!
I love all those pink balloons, reminds me of the breast cancer color. I guess more countries than just us celebrate April Fools Day!
The balloons are marvelous, aren't they? Such a fun photo!
I really liked seeing the recipe for Elizabeth. It kind of ties in with mine, although the dishes certainly don't look the same. Yours made such a pretty presentation.
I didn!t know much about this game changer....but that's why we're doing this, right?
Have a lovely weekend Mary. I'm going to try to get a couple more game changer recipes tested as I have a busy couple weeks coming up. I do look forward to an afternoon of cooking on a weekend.
This is great, fun for April fools day. You have a lot of pink recipes. I don't think I have one...well maybe dark pink! :) Have a great weekend.
What great fun!!!! love these colorful balloons make me happy happy!
That is fun, and a LOT of balloons! I wonder how long they were looking at balloon remnants in the streets!
Love this...I needed to be lifted in spirits and your blog has done it..thank you!! :)
Me encanta el pan de maní una exquisitez y el rosado es mi color aún preferido,abrazos hugs,hugs.
That is certainly an odd way to celebrate April Fools. Would love to know why they did it this way.
