A trifle, beautiful, delicious and easy!!!! An angel food cake, cut into chunks, fruit, pudding, whipped cream, all in layers.

The woman in line in front of me at the store the other day was buying 3 big boxes of those crunchy, cheap chocolate chip cookies.  While the cashier was ringing them up, she explained the trifle recipe she used them for.  Dip each cookie into Irish cream liquor until it soaks up enough to make the cookie soft.  Chop roughly, then layer with chocolate pudding and whipped cream in a trifle dish.  Adults only!  She said the best part was having to make a tiny "test batch" to make sure the cookies were soaked long enough. . .

Oddly enough when I inquired about triffle here, while at dialysis today, my wife was getting a receipe for it from one of ladies she works with who is from England  .  Told me about iwen she picked me up.     So, I guess I'll get to fnd out how good it is.

That sounds like the most amazing thing EVER!  I must make that!

there are 3 times a year i don't pay any attention to what i should or shouldn't eat...thanksgiving, christmas and my birthday. the doctor's comment was "go for it".

our big thing when i was growing up was christmas breakfast. we always had stollen, fruit compote and bangers. oh for a good banger! my dad used to buy them at a specialty meat market. i can still get them but have to order them special and they just don't seem as good. i'm surprised us "heathans" in the americas even know what they are. we would also have clam chowder on christmas eve. of course daddy spent hours making it and it was yummy. my dad is an excellent cook and we used to tease him that if he didn't cook on the weekends, mom wouldn't feed him during the week.  this thread isn't making me hungry, but kinda sad. my parents now live in an assisted living center, and while the place is very nice, daddy hasn't cooked in quite a while and it's rather sad. still the memories are nice.
