We Didn't Know It Was a Contest

Must rave to you about today's dessert:


I've made this kind of thing before.  I made it in different flavors--chocolate, lemon, strawberry/vanilla, even butterscotch. With some kind of crust, a cream cheese layer, a pudding layer and a Cool Whip layer, they're all the pretty much the same idea.

But this one wins the prize.  Actually, none of these desserts knew they were in a contest against each other.   But too bad, this one still gets the crown and the bouquet. 

I think it's the crust that puts it over the top.  It hit my chocolate receptors so hard that I didn't need any chocolate again for at least another hour.   

Meanwhile, I'm making progress on Claire Messud's When the World Was Steady.  We've reviewed Messud here before.  She can be a little hit or miss.  This one looks good so far.  

Two British sisters hit middle age, hard.  One attempts to salve the wounds of her divorce by climbing a difficult mountain in Bali, and she's no athlete.  The other, a spinster, worries that the young smarty-pants in her office is edging her out of a job.   

At least, that's the action so far.  I'll let you know how it goes.

  1. Refrigerate leftovers? What leftovers? I believe this can only be improved by one more thing--a layer of potato chips in there somewhere. Reminds me I've been wanting to try Ben & Jerry Kitchen Sink ice cream, which features potato chips. (Jana)
