*******************

The last few weeks have been particularly cold for California, but now we are having a heat wave -- 20 degrees higher than our usual temperatures for March according to the news. It's hot, in the 80s and 90s depending on the city, and the drastic overnight difference makes it feel even hotter.

With this heat, I'm sharing an ice-box pineapple pudding recipe -- very tropical and of course, the pineapple is also the symbol for hospitality which seems appropriate for a weekly blog carnival or meme.




Ice-Box Pineapple Pudding Recipe

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 pound vanilla wafers
