Sigh. Sad. Very, very sad.

They are missing out on great gustatorial joy... ;-d

I agree. AND, she's not teaching her kids anything; she's
perpetuating the madness and she doesn't even care.

I wish you could help on just that one point...

A lot of people use home-made pizza as a "gateway" recipe if you know
what I mean?

Pastorio did that. Wish I'd have kept that post. :-)

I *do* plan on making homemade pizza and I'll bake them one when I do.
Their current favorite pizza place is a pizza buffet chain called Hungry
Howies. It's $5.00 a pizza for up to 3 toppings, I think. $5.00 a pizza?
I think NOT. Ugh! I need to school them. :~)

I just came home from their house. I was helping them set up for their
daughter's birthday party and we made an "ice cream cake". Ahem. Ready?
Ice Cream Cake, via Christal B. 6 ice cream sandwiches lined up together.
Top with a mixture of cool whip, chocolate pudding, sundae fudge topping,
and crushed oreos. Layer the remaining 6 ice cream sandwiches on top of
the
pudding mix and add remaining cool whip on top. Put it in the freezer.
Freeze and Serve. Yeah, that's my idea of a cake! :-P

When they pulled out the instant pudding mix, I immediately asked, "Okay,
where's the milk, the eggs, sugar, vanilla, etc. and do we have a pot to
cook it in?" They looked at me like I was nuts. They countered with,
"No,
this is instant." I took a few steps back and replied, "I have no idea
what
to do with instant pudding. How does it work? You mean you don't have to
cook it on the stove?"

We're living in two different worlds here. I was seriously lost. I don't
know how to make instant pudding! Who's worse, them or me? ACK!

IIRC, that "cake recipe", or one very similar was in a recent issue of Kraft
Foods magazine (you can get it free from Kraft's website). So, maybe, just
maybe, she at least reads about foods (or just looks at the pictures), other
than the ones listed on the menu under the clowns head!
