3 (THREE) Boxes Pistachio Pudding (3.5 oz approx. - often 3.4)
1 can Crushed Pineapple (20 oz. approx.)
3/4-1 cup milk (I prefer whole milk)
2 bags Pecan pieces (or about 4 oz)
1 bag Mini Marshmallows (I like the colored / flavored ones yellow/green/pink/orange)
2 tubs Cool-Whip or similar whipped topping

In a large cake mixing bowl,

1) Empty the whole can of Pineapple AND juice
2) put in 2 (TWO) of the contents of Pistachio Pudding
3) put in the milk
4) put in the pecan pieces
5) (optional) - put in about 1/2 can of fruit cocktail with cherries / 1/2 juice (maybe 1/4 cup less milk)

Mix BY HAND with spatula or plastic / wood spoon until evenly-distributed

6) Fold in the 2 tubs of whipped topping
7) Put in the contents of the 3rd box of Pistachio pudding

AGAIN, Mix BY HAND with spatula or plastic / wood spoon until evenly-distributed

Now add in the amount of marshmallows you want - I go with about 1 - 2 cups - approx 2/3 of a 10 oz bag.

Fold in gently with spatula until evenly-distributed.

Chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.

Enjoy!!

Do you remember "Watergate Whiskey"? A fifth costs maybe $7, and the empty was selling for $9?

The legitimate bums in DC must have been in heaven.

I don’t remember the Watergate whiskey.
$7 a fifth sounds a bit pricey for that day and time, but it was “The” Watergate after all.

A DC wino could have bought a butt load of Mad Dog or Thunderbird for the price of one empty.

I remember buying some peach wine in Danville, VA for 35 cents a pint about then.
