In between packing and what not I am making time to share an "interesting" recipe involving twinkies.
This post is for a friend who appreciates processed foods like no one else. For Part II of Highly processed foods we like and other fine recipes from the Square Meals cookbook we give you:
Undescended Twinkies2 3 oz packages of orange Jell-O
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 quart vanilla ice cream softened
7 oz of 7-up
8 twinkies
First you dissolve the Jell-O in boiling water. Add pineapple juice, ice cream and 7-up. Mix thoroughly (in a blender if necessary to dissolve ice cream) and pour into a deep pan, approximately 9 inches square. Chill until mixture begins to set.
Lay twinkies flat side down in two rows of four across top of chilled gelatin.
If the gelatin is properly chilled, it will resist the twinkies. You will push them in; they will slowly rise.
the recipe says,
It is a tense moment, like that scene in "Psycho" when Tony Perkins tries to sink Janet Leigh's car.But remember you don't want them buried. Just semi-descended in the lush, peach colored ooze. Chill until fully set.
Serves 4-6

Next time I promise a recipe called Twinkie pie.
Apparently the recipe came from a small town in Iowa for their Centennial cookbook.
