Grab your aprons, Susie Homemakers!

The Proof is in the Pudding is a recipe book put out in 1965 by General Foods Corporation.  It's riddled with any dessert your sweet tooth desires.  The catch?  Every recipe includes instant pudding.  I thought you might be interested in how they wooed the baker into creating these masterpieces;-).  And it goes a little something like this,

   "One of the charms of this wild profession of homemaking is the unexpectedness of it all.  A solitary noon snack blossoms into a neighborly luncheon for four.  Dinnertime arrives at the end of a busy day and there's no dessert waiting to greet the hungry troops.
    All good reasons to be protected with Dessert Insurance, several packages of instant pudding and trimmings of hand in the cupboard shelf.  You can make up a variety of smooth, creamy desserts...."

  So in a pinch, get instant pudding--especially here at Christmas time [gasp!]!  Be prepared, adventure awaits!!
