It's time, I think, to address one of the sponsor-provided inputs. Pistachios. Thanks to the lovely Monica for providing me with this inspiration. Two stories have popped into my brain that I want to share. Thus, here we have ...
Pistachios: The Trickery!
This is my recollection, which may not be the best, but here it is, as I remember it.
When my great-aunt was alive, she used to make this wonderful pistachio cake from scratch. It was so damn good. Even I ate it, and I thought pistachios - and all things pistachio-related - were fairly vile. It was moist and delicious and superb. I can remember my mom asking her about it, what the recipe was, and there was never any clear-cut answer that I knew of.
After she died, my mom found the recipe. Apparently, it was "Betty Crocker Cake Mix" + "Jello Pistachio Pudding Mix" = "Homemade Pistachio Cake."
