On the one topic we were talking about how great it would be if we could all live closer together. Which it would be Wonderful!! WE would have a cafe and reborn classess. I told you I would help out in the cafe. I would make my famous Frog Eye Salad. WELL just to let you know their is such a thing! Here is the recipe. I didn't want you to think I was pulling your leg!!!
Frog Eye Salad
1 box acini de pepe ( little bitty round macaroni ) 1 cup sugar 1 3/4 cups pineapple juice 3 eggs 1/2 tsp. salt 1 large can drained crushed pineapple 1large can drained pineapple tidbits or chunks 2 large cans mandarin oranges drained 1 small package miniature marshmallows 1 large container cool whip
First boil the macaroni in salted water until tender. Drain and cool. Mix sugar with pineapple juice,eggs, and salt . Cook over medium heat,stirring constantly,until mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Cool slightly and mix with the macaroni. Refrigerate overnight. Next day add all fruit and marshmallows and cool whip. Toss well. Serve cold.
Also what I do too is I put the fruit in a strainer and drain a little bit more of the juice off before I mix it so it's not to juicy after it has sit in the refrigerater all night in a dish the juice builds back up and you don't want your salad to sloppy.
i'm gonna give that a try cos i don't keep cakes,cookies ect.ect in the house and my crew just finished off the homemade pumkin candy.if i don't give them something soon they'll start nawing my leg for something sweet. sage
Thanks! I'd rather get together and eat it, but I'll think of you all before I dig in.
