Good 54º clear and sunny morning. Hit 91º yesterday.
When I was at the beauty shop yesterday we were talking about food, natch.
Ruchelle told us about a pie her mom used to make that Ruchelle makes today. Get
a ready-made graham cracker crust, instant Jell-O pudding large size (she uses
chocolate but sounds like any flavor would work), 1 cup milk, 2 cups vanilla ice
cream, and Cool Whip. Make the pudding with the milk and ice cream. Pour into
pie crust, refrigerate, top with Cool Whip. I think butterscotch or banana,
coconut cream, lemon, or pistachio would be good too! Mmmmm......
For other Jell-O recipes, check here....
Now, this is funny and interesting. They guy was/is talented. He was 12 and
made a video and when he was 32 he used the video to interview himself from 20
years earlier. Enjoy!
