This is a creamy fruit salad that is absolutely fantastic. I was hesitant to try it when my sis made it for me. But one bite later, I was hooked. I typically dont use the cherries, since I'm the only one in our family that like them. Make sure you dont add the Cool Whip too soon(right before you eat it) or it will not be as fluffy.

"Tiny pearls of acini di pepe are marinated in a fruity custard and tossed with crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges, whipped topping and mini marshmallows to make a bright, refreshing pasta salad. Top with Maraschino cherries for eye-popping color."


INGREDIENTS:
1 cup acini di pepe pasta
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
with juice reserved
1 (15 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
with liquid reserved
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping,
thawed 7 ounces miniature marshmallows
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
(optional)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain.
2. In medium saucepan, combine reserved liquids from pineapple and oranges (equals about 1 1/2 cups), sugar, eggs, salt and flour. Cook until thick, stirring constantly. When mixture becomes thick, add cooked pasta and refrigerate overnight.
3. The next day, add pineapple and oranges, whipped topping and marshmallows to taste. Mix together and top with cherries if desired. Keep chilled until served.

hang on to your hats:use 2 lb package of beans;put them in a pot and bring them to fast boil,be sure to keep enough water in them,when the beans began to open and get soft turn heat down,add one wht.or yellow onion (chopped up),one med.chopped up green pepper,1-small can of diced chiles,1-CAN of whole tamatoes,1 small can tamatoe-sauce,cut-off bacon SLAB-ends(meat-mkt),1-cup cracklings (meat-dept.)if unable to find any-use smoked pork parts,add to your liking.
ok,here's the important part;this seperates the men from the boy's in bean-cooking:the following seasonings depend on your liking as far as spicy stuff,i cook them to my taste,it will vary if you do not like spicy stuff.:USE CHILI-POWER,FRESH-GARLIC (chopped up);1/2 TEA.SPOON OF GROUND CUMIN-HERE IN TEXAS ITS CALLED COMINOS.IF YOU WANT TO USE WHOLE COMINOS,USE JUST A PINCH SEEDED-COMINOS,IF YOU USE GROUND -CUMIN BE CAREFUL ITS STRONG!CUMIN OR COMINOS IS THE KEY TO THE GREAT TASTE!!ALSO USE SALT,BLACK PEPPER,TO YOUR LIKING AS AN OPTION I LIKE SLICED-JALAPENOS OR SERANO PEPPERS.BE SURE TO KEEP AT LEAST AN INCH OF JUICE ABOVE THE BEANS.COOK UNTIL SOFT AND TENDER AND STAND BY FOR SOME FINE EATINGS.ON THE SECOND DAY THE BEANS WILL TASTE EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE!!!THIS ARE THE INGREDIENTS THAT WON ME A BLUE RIBBON IN A BEAN COOK-OFF.

Get some flour tortillas, Jalepeno peppers, white or red onion, few cloves of garlic and meat your choice. Mix white vinegar and water 50/50 and cook diced onions and Jalepeno's with a few diced cloves of garlic to taste till shine leaves pepper skins. Then add meat (your Choice) cut up in small chunks if not hamburger and cook til done with above ingredients. When concoction done add refried beans to same and fold in with large spoon to mix well. Amount of peppers regulates heat to your taste. Roll up in tortillas and you have some good burritos. Also if solution is too runny after mixing in the beans, add some dry oatmeal. You won't be able to taste it, its good for you and it will soak up the moisture. (little trade secret) MMMMmmmmGOOoood.

That sounds mighty fine! Now if I can only find slab bacon and "craklins'" in New York

I'll find it. You can find most anything around here.
