I've had this before and reeeeeally enjoyed. I know people wouldn't
touch it because it contains *ahem* instant pudding and Cool Whip, but
I liked it!

Every so often you come across a recipe like this using boxed or prepared
products that really end up tasty. I've also eaten it and liked it, and
would probably make it if I would remember. :-)

Every Thanksgiving my contribution to the meal at my sister-in-law's
house is a baked ham and perhaps some other dish. I think I shall make
this salad this year to add to the fare. Last year I took it upon
myself to make a gooey pumpkin cake using Paula Deen's recipe. It was
just ok, nothing I wanted to make again. To be fair, it was much
better the second day with a cup of coffee for breakfast.

Reminds me of my mil, she made that once in a while. Only thing
I have to say is that I once bought canned crushed pineapple instead
of rings by accident ... it was like all the parts of the pineapple you
wouldn't normally eat and it was not good at all. If it was meat it
would be all gristle. I'd take pineapple chunks and cut them up
myself, instead.

No, no milk. Prepare it just like she's posted it. Sounds strange,
but it's gooooood.

My gingerbread is the same way. It's much better if it's sat for a day or
two before serving. I have to plan ahead when I want it.

I do buy crushed pineapple, but I always buy it at the Asian market. It's
entirely different and much better.

No, the juice from the pineapple and the Cool Whip is all it needs.

Isn't it amazing what we can enjoy in the privacy of our own home sans
pretensious comments from the peanut gallery! <vbg>

You say the pudding should be made with no milk. OK. Howzabout
subbing real whipped cream. I despise Cool Whip.

BTW, in light of this gustatory outburst, is it safe to assume your
short sabatical is now at an end? 😉

Dunno. I've never tried it that way. The only problem I'd forsee
would be that it wouldn't last into the leftover stage because the
whipped cream would die. We've only had some leftover once, though, so
it's not a big issue. BTW, the cherries are my addition. Feel free to
leave them out. I also think this might be better with sliced or
slivered almonds than with pecans. Crash would boycott Thanksgiving if
I didn't make this stuff.

Sorta yes, sorta no. I think I'm gonna be posting a lot less than
usual. I've been so tired and depressed lately, it's a struggle to
keep on top of anything (shaddap, Sheldon). <G>

This outburst of recipes is basically our Thanksgiving menu. We'll
have normal-type mashed potatoes and gravy and some dinner rolls from
frozen wads of dough. And our guests have requested the dreaded green
bean casserole and Crash concurs. It'll be made with cream of chicken
soup, so I'll probably have a glob on my plate, too.
