When you first announced that you were doing the Julie/Julia thing with Ree’s book, I wondered what you would do with the whiskey ingredient!

We did your Penne Rustica and LOVED it! It was a huge hit! Then we did a simple Mock Chocolate Eclair that I think I ate for the next three days. You may have something similar, it’s a great one with things you have in the cupboard.
3 packages of graham crackers
1 large box instant vanilla pudding
1 tub of Cool Whip
chocolate frosting
Make pudding according to box directions and gently fold in Cool Whip. Layer (whole) crackers on bottom of 9×13 pan, you may need to do a little piecing. Then pour on approximately 1/2 of pudding mixture. Make another cracker layer, then pudding, and then top with crackers. Next, frost with chocolate frosting. Refrigerate for a few hours before serving. Melt and after cooled for a few minutes, pour/spread over top of cracker layer:

3 squares of baking chocolate
3 Tablespoon butter
2 Tablespoon karo syrup
2 Tablespoon vanilla
Remove from heat and add
3 Tablespoon milk
1 1/2(+) cups of powdered sugar

Valerie,

No I didn’t eat them – it is really the texture of mashed potatoes I don’t like. Since no one was home when I was making them I had to take a teeny, tiny taste just to check for seasoning. The flavor is o.k. it’s just that texture that gets me!!!

I see that far away place look in your husband’s eyes that men go to when they are enjoying food! Tessa looks so happy too! She’s so pretty! The Rib Eye Steak recipe is one I do want to try. It sure looks good! I had planned on making these pototoes on Sunday. We are having company for dinner after church and these potatoes are great because they can be made ahead of time.
Thanks for the reviews.

Okay, I have to ask….
Did you actually eat some mashed potatoes on Valentine’s Day???
