DeSaix Banana Pudding

Get large boxes of non-instant vanilla pudding and lots of vanilla wafers and lots of bananas.  While on person layers bananas and wafers in a very large bowl, the other one makes a pudding in the microwave, one box at a time and pours over the layers.  Put cool whip on top when it is cool.  Best made the morning of the dinner.

Martha Dill's Grandmother's Lemon Ice Cream

  •  2 cups milk and 3/4 cup sugar

  • "Stir over fire" almost to a boil  (I just stir it a few rounds and

  • let it heat).  Cool and then freeze until mushy (overnight is fine).

  • Add grated rinds and juice of 2 lemons and 1 orange (or orange juice)

  • and beat until frothy.  Freeze again, stirring after one hour if you

  • happen to remember. (I left the rind out in yours so it would be blander, but the tang it

  • gives is good.)  A double recipe will make none too much.
