Funny story...
So for Easter Sunday, my cousin Sarah hosted Easter brunch at her home. I offered to bring Pistachio pudding as my dessert. So I'm making it the night prior, you know...adding the pineapple's, the cool whip, mixing, and it smells oh so good! Love that scent! And like the directions state, it must chill for an hour or so. In this case I'm thinking, great, I've got all night for this to set.
Well...Sure enough the next morning I go to take it out of the fridge and it's sure is moving a lot. So I think, well, it tastes like pistachio pudding and it looks like pistachio pudding, so it must be fine right?
By the time I get to Sarah's on the other side of Phoenix, what jiggle was there is now completely gone. We now have Pistachio soup on our hands. I couldn't figure out how I screwed up the directions? I mean, yes it was my first time making it, but seriously, how hard could it be? Right?
Needless to say, Sarah's hosting 4th of July. So me being the woman that I am, refuse to let my pistachio pudding incident hold me back! I will make this dish correctly darn it! Even if it kills me!
So last night I asked Justin to bring me a "tub" of cool whip while he's at the store. Which he interprets as a "tube." So right of the bat I'm thinking Oh Lordy I'm Doomed! But as it turns out it works just fine. Then I proceed to read the directions yet again. ONLY this time I realize it says add "a Package of Pistachio Pudding." NOT make the pistachio pudding with all the ingredients (add milk). Duh!!! So last night we had our first successful batch of pistachio pudding with pineapple, cool whip from a "tube," marshmallows and of course maraschino cherries!
YUM-O!
