My little kitty is such a goofball. I've been trying to copy recipes from whatever scraps of paper that Gramma has jotted them down on- to recipe cards.
I don't know if Jayne just is firmly against me doing this, or if he just wants a cuddle.
He would sit down on whatever I was reading. I would move it. He would lay across my notecards. I would move him. He would stretch back across the old recipes. I actually moved my paperwork around him and was leaning over the cat to write in the middle of the table. Nothing doing. He wanted to be ON the paper. LOL! Such a silly kitty.

I did come across one of my *favorite* desserts. Four layer delight. YUM! Which I will be making a trip to the Piggly Wiggly here in just a few minutes to get the ingrediants so I can make it tonight.


**snifffffugh* Fighting through what is either an ATTACK of sinuses, or maybe a summer cold. I feel thoroughly yucky. ((but so bad as to pass up chocolatey, cream cheesey goodness!))


And later tonight, if I'm not taken completely out by my sniffling, sneezing and runny-nose- I plan to clean out my closet. I've been shoving stuff in there since I moved in here. Mostly to get it out of the way. Time to go through it.

Exciting weekend, huh?! :)

Just got back fro Piggly Wiggly. Ianto's thermometer said it was 106 degrees.

106!!!! 

Gah.  Summer sucks.





Also. On a completely unrelated side note to my funny life:  Gramma just brought me a roasted marshmallow. 
We have an electric stove. 
*shakes head*  I was wondering what that smell was.  Only my Gramma....
:o)

Here's the recipe for my 4 layer delight - Or as Kitty calls it "Sex in a pan"!

I made mine in a 9x13 casserole, and the ingredients were just right for that size pan.

(also. I just took a dose of NyQuil, so if I start typing slurry by the end of the recipe- you know why.) :P
This is a fairly well known recipe. But just in case you haven't had the pleasure, I shall share!

1st layer:
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons sugar (or sugar substitute. Splenda is awesome.)
1/2 cup melted butter
1 3/4 cups crushed pecans. *get a zipper bag. get a hammer. take out some frustrations on the pecans- perfect!* (set aside a few crushed pecans to sprinkle on the top of the dessert. Makes it look all pretty.)

Mix ingredients and press to bottom and sides of pan. Bake in 400* oven till golden brown.

then add

2nd layer:
8oz. package cream cheese
8oz. cool whip (get the 16 oz. or bigger size, that way you have plenty for this layer and the topping.)
1 cup powdered sugar

Mix and set aside. Add to the crust when it has cooled.

then add:

3rd layer:
chocolate pudding.
I used 4 small boxes of instant pudding mix. Following the directions for the "pudding pie" version. Also I use 1/2 of the milk that is called for- 2% and half evaporated milk. Gives the pudding a richer taste.

then top with cool whip and sprinkle pecan bits.

YAY! Yumdillyishus!*


Soooooooooooooooooooo good!

And now Imma go crash. An hope to the good Lord that I can sleep and wake up feeling better.
