We had the wonderful invitation to visit our friends Carol and Carl in Ashby last night for the evening meal. (In case you're noticing, I'm avoiding saying "supper" or "dinner"... Which do you prefer, and why?) She had home made bread (made in your gift machine, Fran), a wonderful chicken and rice dish, and yummy vegetables. A tour de force! But to top it all off, there was a GREAT dessert. She says it has been a favorite of her kids for many years. So here it is. Hats off to Carol for this, and obviously she substituted Splenda @ for the sugar so I could eat it.
1 pkg gelatin
3 C. milk
6 T cocoa
3 separated eggs
1/2 C. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 t. vanilla
Soften the gelatin in 1/4 c. cold milk. Beat yolks, then add rest of milk, sugar, cocoa and salt.
Cook until just custard consistency. Add gelatin mixture. Stir and remove from stove. Fold in beaten egg white and vanilla. Pour into a mold. Chill. Serve with Cool Whip or Reddi Whip.
I tell you, I am a fan. It looks great and tastes greater. Wahoo. We don't use much unsweetened and unflavored gelatin now, but this recipe is worth it. Check it out!
Beyond the eating fun, we had our usual fun time talking. Friends are just the greatest!

Can anyone help as to where the two different terms came from???? And why??? I always assume either one means the evening meal. Otherwise it would be "lunch" right?
Yes, friends are the greatest and You are a greatest of friends!!!
