One thing you should never do.
posted in fathers, kid, kitchen |Never take 40 or so vanilla wafers (generic is ok), mash them into crumbs, add half a stick of butter and some sugar and press into a pie dish, then bake at 350 for about 9 minutes.
Never, ever, slice three ripe bananas on to the top of the crust. Never, ever, dump a cup or so of fresh blueberries onto the bananas. And don’t ever slice up another cup of strawberries and put them on top of the blueberries.
Whatever you do, don’t take a package of pudding mix and mix it with a little less milk than the directions say (2.5 cups rather than 3) and pour it over the fresh fruits. Don’t put it into the fridge until it more or less solidifies, at the same time taking a tub of cool whip out of the freezer.
Don’t smear the thawed cool whip over the set pudding.
No, don’t do any of that. Make the kids do it.
(ps, don’t dunk the left over nilla wafers into the cool whip to test its thawedness. Nope.)
(pps, no I don’t really consider banana cream pie to be a serving of fruit)
