Electrophile Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 My mom's salad - I don't know what it's called, but she mixes two packages of cream cheese and a huge tub of whipped topping with a can of Bing cherries and two cans of crushed pineapples. It's AMAZING. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0mmunicati0nBreakd0wn Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 I got to go to my friends house and swim ^^ (But I didn't get enough sun tan, i'm just a bit too white for living in a place like Florida !!) Then I got to watch some really cool movies like Wayne's World , and Kill Bill (I like it, even though it's way too bloody!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 "There's No Place Like home!" everyone! Welcome home!!!! So glad to see you here My mom's salad - I don't know what it's called, but she mixes two packages of cream cheese and a huge tub of whipped topping with a can of Bing cherries and two cans of crushed pineapples. It's AMAZING. Ambrosia? Though that usually has coconut and mandarin oranges and marshmallows. Okay nevermind I'm totally off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Ambrosia? Though that usually has coconut and mandarin oranges and marshmallows. Okay nevermind I'm totally off This is like an ambrosia salad, but I don't know if my grandmother ever gave it a name - it's her recipe. As kids, my sister and I just used to call it the "cherry salad". Sometimes my mom puts marshmallows in it, although this time she didn't. I will say it's very refreshing on a hot day. Tastes like the inside of a cheesecake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your grandmother's recipe sounds like a nice thing to have on a hot day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She probably uses cream cheese or something similar, I've never actually seen an ambrosia salad made without it. You can steal my grandmother's recipe if you want it! 2 packages of softened cream cheese 1 huge tub of whipped topping 1 can of Bing cherries 2 cans of crushed pineapples (drained) 1 bag of mini marshmallows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medhb Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Ive seen something similiar with pistachio pudding. So you are out Charles? Have to check the threads. Glad to hear it. Oh YEAH! I remember that stuff, it was great! Anyone know what Yukons talking about? Have a recipe???? PS. What made me happy today.

Electrophile Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 My dad's favorite cake is pistachio cake, and we use two boxes of it. One goes in the regular white cake mix, the other in the frosting. We usually combine it with Dream Whip and it's fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel With A Broken Wing Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Nice looking home, Buck'Eye'Doc; I love that color. Is it an aqua or sea-green shade or does it just come across that color on my monitor? Happy to see Dzldoc back "home". Happy that I found some Cappucino-flavored Commit logenzes today. (a stop smoking aid) And happier still that I don't even feel the need to use them. But I'll continue to use them for the full 12 weeks they suggest, as it's only been 5 weeks since I quit and I don't want to get over-confident. That is what has killed cessation programs in the past for me. Once you think you've really got it licked the little guys will taunt you & say that "just one won't hurt". Not this time!

Thank you Angel and everyone. My house is mostly brick witht the trim in a blue-green color, my favorite color. Here are some pics from the back yard today. It is more sunny today than Friday when I took the other pics. I have a little stream that goes down the hill to the pond. My pond. As you can see, not much in bloom with the late season here. Lots of fish in the pond. Plants not too green yet, water lily not doing too much yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninelives Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 The backyard is gorgeous! I love it. Must be very peaceful and relaxing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electrophile Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Speaking of backyards, you have no idea how happy I was to see our backyard the first time we checked out the new house. We never had one before; back in Georgia, because of all the shading from the trees, grass had a hard time growing so we had a ton of patches of just red clay. Here we have a HUGE green lawn. It's gorge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 (edited) ^I LOVE huge yards. I'm hoping someday, we will be able to afford to buy a house with a large, nice piece of land. Our house sits on .24 acres right now, and our backyard is just simply too small for what I'd like to do to it. http://images.google.com/images?q=pistachi...l=en&tab=wi! What made me happy today: 1. I made curry. I've been out of the spice curry for over a month, and last weekend, Dave took me and helped me stock up on all of my spices. 2. I finished my friend's wedding cake--(the one you freeze), and it turned out beautifully! She got married last Saturday, and I made about 80 Texas-sized cupcakes for her wedding, but I wanted to be sure she had the frozen smaller cake too. The small "freezing" cake The cupcakes that were at the wedding last weekend. (this was the first time I ever attempted to make a cake fro scratch and to decorate a cake so it looks pretty) 3. I went to my mom's house to see my mom and my sister for mother's day. I stopped at Dairy Queen and bought my sister an ice cream cake (spending $26 of my $46 that I have until I get paid again on Friday), and she was really, really happy. She'd been hinting that she wanted an ice cream cake for a while, and since it was her first mother's day and she's a great mommy, I did it. Oh yes, and I forgot to say: Charles, I'm happy you're home! Edited May 11, 2009 by manderlyh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Hartman Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 If you could sell some of those you could buy a yard. I love cupcakes myself. Ever think about selling cakes? There's a place that just opened here that's called Short Street Cakes. Haven't been in it but my sister says their cakes are good. They do cupcakes for a buck and then larger cupcakes for like 5 I think. I think the advertising may sell the cakes. I wont explain that part. Only Asheville would allow it anyhow.
