Well, the pretzel salad has won this battle 2 - 1. For some reason I have difficulty mastering this dessert. I wanted to make it for a gathering we had with some friends from school, which was last night. I learned the last time I messed up the salad that it was necessary to let the first layers of pretzel cool entirely before applying the cream cheese and whip cream mixture. So I waited patiently. I even put it in the refrigerator, went to work, and then did the second layer. Well, after 20 minutes of waiting, I peeked in the fridge, and the third layer, consisting of Jell-o and strawberries, was somehow underneath the second layer. Needless to say, the pretzel salad was ruined.
So, early Friday morning, I woke up and tried it again. Michael insisted I just make something else, but I was going to eat pretzel salad one way or the other. I laid the first layer, waited, then applied the second, then waited again. This time, instead of pouring on boiling hot Jell-o, I waited for it to cool a bit, and then gently spooned it on. It worked!! I have to remember this technique for future use!
We had a lot of fun with our friends last night. They made a delicious dinner and then Karlin and I got our behinds kicked in a game of pool volleyball. For the record, she is pregnant and I think the boys were cheating! We also go to meet the new member of the Wells family, little Parker, born on July 29th. Very cute indeed!
