Banana Pudding and a Pool Party!

So much for sleeping in this morning! It always happenes that way. When I really want to stay in bed, I have to be somewhere and can't. When I can stay in bed, I'm up at the crack of dawn! So. Since I was awake, I decided to get my Saturday started. 

We have a birthday pool party to attend today. It was raining when I woke up this morning, but has stopped now. All week it's been very cloudy with scattered storms. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed it. We NEEDED it! But it's the weekend now and that means pool time. Hopefully, it will clear off by this afternoon (the weatherman doesn't think it will).

Anyways. I made banana pudding this morning for his birthday. He loves it, so I make it every year. 

I thought I'd share the recipe with you. I always use light or fat free ingredients ( I can't tell a big difference) and this time I used Walmart brand.

You will need:
2 small boxes French vanilla instant pudding mix (and 2 cups milk to mix with pudding)
1 large tub Cool Whip
1 can sweet condensed milk
1 box vanilla wafers
3 or 4 bananas 


 To make the pudding, combine pudding mix with 2 cups of cold milk and whip until thick. Then, add the can of sweet condensed milk and half of the cool whip (the other half goes on top).


Then you begin layering. Place wafers across the bottom of the dish. 


Next, spread half of the pudding onto the wafers. 
  

Add a layer of bananas and then repeat with the wafers and pudding mix only. Top with the rest of the cool whip. Crumble leftover wafers and sprinkle on top.


So here's the funny part. I've made this many many times. I must have still been asleep this morning because I forgot the layer of bananas! I had to carefully scrape off the cool whip layer, then the pudding layer (I didn't even try to remove the cookie layer, so mine is out of order). Anyways. I placed the bananas on the cookies and added everything back. OOPS!

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

A Sunday Swim

Sunday afternoon we decided to take a drive. When it was time for the dogs to get in their pen, Hatfield refused. He just stood at the car door. He wanted to go to. So we loaded them up and headed out. Our drive took us to a small lake about 20 minutes always. I didn't even know it existed. Anyways, we let the dogs swim. They loved it! Watch Lilly leap like a dolphin. Hilarious! Or at least it is to us.
