1 pkg. White Cake Mix; ½ cup water; 5 eggs, 1-teaspoon vanilla; ½ cup milk, ½ cup oil
2 pkgs. Instant Pistachio Pudding
Optional--extra nuts
Mix all ingredients above for 4 min. Bake at 350 for 50 min. Check cake to be sure it is thoroughly baked. (Two layers) - Frosting: 1 pkg. Instant Pistachio Pudding, ½ cup milk, One 12 oz. Pkg. Cool whip - Stir
pudding, milk, add cool whip, use mixer for a short time. Note:
Pudding makes cake batter heavy and it will fall while cooling. Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteEvery Christmas my father would get a box of cigars which were, for our family, a very expensive gift. It was the one luxury item he allowed himself. They would have to last the entire year and despite this, he was always generous with them, so much so that around July, they were all gone. He also allowed himself one bottle of Southern Comfort for the holiday season and that too would be gone shortly after New Year. I used to tell him that when I grew up and was rich, I'd buy him all the Southern Comfort and cigars he wanted. He used to say oh but then I wouldn't appreciate them so much. I miss that guy.
ReplyDeleteThat Blackstone Cigar ad is so funny!
