These are not recipes I've ever heard of, Connie! I remember Pistachio Salad, made with Pistachio Jello Pudding. I'm not sure if that flavor is still around. I grew up eating all kinds of jello, but these days, I only make it when I'm recovering from the flu, and it's just jello. No marshallows, no fruit, and certainly no Cool Whip or Dream Whip (yeah, I remember it) or cream cheese. Sometime, would you write about Bing Bars? Wow, those were so sweet. My teeth ache just thinking about them. What a fun column.

Thanks, Joan. So fun to meet you the other day! I'm not sure if pistachio Jello is still around either. I should check that out when I'm looking for Dream Whip. I have to say that I'm not familiar with Bing Bars. I know. I do remember the Bing candy bars, but I maybe only had one once. Do you have a recipe for them or a story about why you remember them? If you do, I'd love it if you could tell me about it at this email address: ourgrandmasrecipebox@gmail.com I will put those on my list of recipes to dig into and learn more about. Thanks for the kind note and enlightening me about Bing Bars!
