A Visit to Cistus Nursery
I rarely go to nurseries anymore since I work part-time at one and another reason being that I don't have much room for additional plants. When a garden fanatic runs out of room, the brain goes into overdrive, dreaming up ingenious ways to incorporate more plants. And another thing happens - a burning desire to obtain rare and unique plants. I've been moving plants around, a tricky process that has a domino effect.

Yum! I was a huge fan of Cool Whip as a kid -- could devour it ON ice cream or INSTEAD OF ice cream ;-)

I like to think my palate has become a *little* more sophisticated since then and I've been thinking about whipping up some real cream someday soon (instead of using Readiwhip), but I still have a soft spot for Cool Whip... :P
I have made this many times and love it! Easy as can be!
ReplyDeleteSounds yummy! Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteI printed this out. Sounds like the perfect dessert for 100 degree heat! Thanks!
