We were both very sorry to see Julia Collins get beaten in her 21st game on Jeopardy Monday night. The guy who beat her kept making a tutting noise when he answered so Matt refused to watch him on Tuesday and was delighted when he got beaten too. I had actually guessed Julia had been beaten because she was interviewed Monday morning on Good Morning America and I didn’t think she would be in New York when the Jeopardy programme is in California. I was so hoping she would match or beat Ken Jennings but it wasn’t to be. She will, of course, be invited back for the Tournament of Champions when she will come up against Arthur Chu who also did very well.
I am trying, by the way, to encourage all my blogging friends to use the bee logo on their blog sites.
The picture on this recipe really caught my eye so I had to get the recipe it looks so good. It doesn't say but I am assuming the cans are in their own juice. It is certainly what I would use.
Fruit Salad With Pudding!
By Laura70 on July 11, 2003Servings: 15
"I get compliments on this fruit salad wherever I take it. It is super easy to make and a great dish to bring to a potluck or family party. Kids love it too. Everyone asks "what's in the sauce"? The secret ingredient is the vanilla pudding mix."
Ingredients
- 1 (29 ounce) can peach slices, undrained
- 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, undrained
- 1 (3 1/8 ounce) box dry vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 lb strawberries, stemmed and quartered
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1/2 pint blueberries
- 1 bunch grapes ( I use the red ones)
- 1 -2 tablespoon sugar (optional)
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine peaches, pineapples, and vanilla pudding mix.
- This includes the juices from the cans.
- Mix well until pudding is dissolved.
- Stir in strawberries, banana, blueberries, grapes, and sugar if desired.
- Chill.
So the atlas has gone up in price. I bought one years ago....almost 20....and paid $75 which was the member's price at that time. The thing weighed a ton and was very unwieldy and difficult to use. Total waste of money.
ReplyDeleteI have a Readers Digest Atlas which is also a big book. I actually love it. It's my second one and I have no idea what I paid for it. Doubtless it is well out of date these days and anyway I tend to look at Google Maps if I want anything. I sure wouldn't pay that much for an atlas these days.
DeleteThat fruit salad with pudding will be one of the first things I'll make in my new home.
ReplyDeleteIt does look good doesn't it?
DeleteShe still earned a lot of money on the show!
ReplyDeleteShe did Alex but I would have enjoyed seeing her go further - the guy who beat her didn't last long.
DeleteThanks again for thinking of me, Jo. I'm glad you got your cushion replaced - makes a world of difference, eh?
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Jeopardy all the time. 21 times, wow. They're getting better and better. Might just have to take up the habit again...

You are so welcome Tina. I thought it would, but when I tried it last night it was just the same. Going there tomorrow for help.
DeleteI just love Jeopardy, well we both do, and it was so exciting to see Julia win so many times.
My sister-in-law has a CPAP machine. Is it uncomfortable or annoying? I suppose anything that helps you breathe more comfortably would be worth it.
ReplyDeleteNo I don't mind it a bit so long as the mask isn't leaking. For some reason I have lately been having trouble with it, not sure why. It does make me feel better when I used it regularly.
