Jell-O Instant Pudding Busy Day Dessert

Pudding most often refers to a dessert, but may also refer to a savory dish. The original pudding was formed by mixing various ingredients with a grain product or other binder such as butter, flour, cereal, eggs, suet, resulting in a solid mass. These puddings are baked, steamed or boiled. The second and newer type of pudding consists of sugar, milk, and a thickening agent such as cornstarch, gelatin, eggs, rice or tapioca to create a sweet, creamy dessert.

Jell-O is a brand name belonging to U.S.-based Kraft Foods for a number of gelatin desserts, including fruit gels, puddings and no-bake cream pies. Jell-O also has an instant pudding product which is simply mixed with cold milk and then chilled.

The firm today known as Kraft Foods was formed on December 10, 1923 by Thomas H. McInnerney. McInnerney operated the Hydrox Corporation, an ice cream company located in Chicago, Illinois

Marguerite Piazza (née Luft, on 6 May 1926, in New Orleans) is a famous American operatic soprano and entertainer. During the 1950s, before the connection of cigarette smoking with cancer was widely accepted, Piazza was a paid spokeswoman for Camel cigarettes. She said that Camels had “a mildness that agree with my throat.” In 1968, she endured three operations on her face to remove cancer, and, in 1973, she was treated for cervical and uterine cancer.

Chef Boy-ar-dee Spaghetti Dinner

Spaghetti is the plural form of the Italian word spaghetto, which is a diminutive of spago, meaning “thin string” or “twine”. The word spaghetti can be literally translated as “little strings”.

The tomato has been central to Italian cuisine since its introduction from the Americas. Outside of Italy, this perception can be quite exaggerated: many people know little of Italian cuisine beyond pasta with tomato sauce. Italian varieties of tomato sauce range from Puttanesca sauce, seasoned with anchovies, capers, garlic, chili peppers and black olives, to Bolognese sauce, a predominantly ground-meat sauce which normally contains a small-to-moderate amount of tomato.

Ettore Boiardi (October 22, 1897 – June 21, 1985), better known as “Chef Boyardee“, was an Italian-born chef who became famous for his eponymous brand of food products. Boiardi appeared in many print advertisements and television commercials for his brand in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.

Unilever was created in 1930 by the merger of British soapmaker Lever Brothers and Dutch margarine producer Margarine Unie, a logical merger as palm oil was a major raw material for both margarines and soaps and could be imported more efficiently in larger quantities.

The New WendyMelt is Dreamy

A patty melt is a type of hamburger sandwich consisting of a hamburger (or other ground meat) patty, pieces of sautéed or grilled onion, and cheese between two slices of bread (traditionally rye, though sourdough, or Texas toast have recently been substituted). The sandwich is then grilled so that the cheese melts thoroughly. At some places it may include salad dressing.
