Day 93 ~ Sweet Tooth
Apr 3, 2014
My first: I made a brand new, never-been-tried-by-me dessert for
my grandson and me.
What to do, what to do? Some days are like that…even when you’re
not doing “firsts”. But I AM! I had a busy day and then I had to take my car into
the shop that evening so it could be worked on first thing in the morning. It
was getting late so I decided that this was a good day to make a new dessert
that I have never tried before.
A trip to the store was first on my list…I don’t make desserts very
often so my “in house” ingredients are not at home! Now this is going to be simple,
folks. The recipe I chose was from the lid of the Cool Whip container! Lots of
labor does not guarantee a better dessert, right? Just to make it a little more
interesting and innovative (but not more difficult), I altered some of the
ingredients: pistachio pudding and butterscotch syrup instead of chocolate pudding
and syrup. All you chocolate lovers never mind!
My grandson called and wanted to come over so I got him on board
with this venture after my trip to the store. When we got to my house, I got
busy whipping up the pistachio pudding and cutting up the pound cake for this
layered delight. Tyler played games on my old (his new) laptop. I worked on a
blog for my “first” from the day before while we waited for the dessert to chill.
Tyler finished with his games and went to the living room to chill
as well while I finished my blog. While putting the finishing touches on my posting, I
yelled “Tyler” to my grandson in the other room…no answer. His day was done. He
can fall asleep faster and more sound than anyone I know, hands down. Dessert
for breakfast? Why not! I dished him up a small bowl in the morning, but he
didn’t really like it. How can you go wrong with pudding, Cool Whip, pound cake
and syrup? He said it was too sweet. Well, it wasn’t too sweet for me. Let’s
just say, it was all gone after my night time snack and breakfast and lunch the
next day. My sweet tooth is unrelenting these days!
Time spent and expertise in the kitchen are both running pretty
shy these days. When you live alone, mealtime ingredients are convenience,
speed, and frugality. There’s just too much other stuff to do!
