I've just read several of your posts and find you wonderfully witty.<br /><br />That nursery rhyme is out of my childhood!! I haven't thought of it for years, well, actually for many, many decades!<br /><br />I'm guessing #7 is the truth, but what do I know. I'm glad no one's ever asked me to do this because I don't think I could do it! Yours is a very sparkling list.<br /><br />I hope you're having a wonderful weekend - over there.<br /><a href="http://ann-jen.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann</i></a>Ann Besthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14628616245339887301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590413918586199527.post-41336451476986652202010-09-05T22:48:13.172+01:002010-09-05T22:48:13.172+01:00Miaou!

It's more of a dessert in my opinion. SO good!<br /><br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br /> * 1 cup white sugar<br /> * 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour<br /> * 2 1/2 teaspoons salt<br /> * 1 3/4 cups unsweetened pineapple juice<br /> * 2 eggs, beaten<br /> * 1 tablespoon lemon juice<br /> * 3 quarts water<br /> * 1 tablespoon vegetable oil<br /> * 1 (16 ounce) package acini di pepe pasta<br /> * 3 (11 ounce) cans mandarin oranges, drained<br /> * 2 (20 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits, drained<br /> * 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained<br /> * 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed<br /> * 1 cup miniature marshmallows<br /> * 1 cup shredded coconut<br /><br />Directions<br /><br /> 1. In a sauce pan, combine sugar, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pineapple juice and eggs. Stir and cook over medium heat until thickened. Remove from heat; add lemon juice and cool to room temperature.<br /> 2. Bring water to a boil, add oil, remaining salt and cook pasta until al dente. Rinse under cold water and drain.<br /> 3. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, egg mixture, mandarin oranges, pineapple and whipped topping. Mix well and refrigerate overnight or until chilled. Before serving add marshmallows and coconut. Toss and serve.<br /><br />Enjoy!Melissa Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03067786807136441491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8590413918586199527.post-62275237665145510602010-09-05T10:45:57.343+01:002010-09-05T10:45:57.343+01:00Hello Carol!
