Chill out with these summertime desserts
Is it hot enough for you? Maybe
by now the heat wave has passed
but as I'm writing this, my outdoor
thermometer reads 90 degrees and
it's 7:00 pm. I know I wrote a few
weeks ago about how much I love
summer, and I do, as long as the air
conditioner doesn't break.
Actually, I do enjoy summertime
but day after day of 90 degree plus
temperatures does get to be a drag.
There are lots of ways to beat the
heat - and you've probably heard
them all before but I'll suggest a
few just in case. Spend as much
time as possible in an air condi-
tioned place; a library, museum,
grocery store are a few examples.
Do as little as possible, it's hard to
work up a sweat sitting still. Run
thru the yard sprinkler. Not that en-
ergetic? Then plop down in the
kids' wading pool. Drink lots of
cold drinks. My favorite way: eat
lots of cold food - desserts espe-
cially.
The following recipes are not
low calorie, low fat or low choles-
terol but they are cool and for the
most part, easy, not to mention just
plain good. Go ahead and indulge
yourself. The mud pie is quite pos-
sibly my all-time favorite dessert.
Once you've tried it you will know
why.
Mud Pie
16 ounce pkg. Oreo cookies
1 quart vanilla ice cream
1 quart chocolate ice cream
1-1/2 teaspoon instant coffee gran-
ules
1/2 cup coffee flavored liqueur
1-10 ounce or 12 ounce jar fudge
topping
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup coconut
1 8 ounce bowl whipped topping
Crush cookies and press into
bottom of a 9x13 inch pan (sprin-
kle with a little bit of rum or rum
flavoring if desired). Beat the two
ice creams together and coffee
that's been dissolved in a small
amount of water. Spread ice cream
mixture over cookie crumbs, freeze
until hard. Cover with fudge and
half of the almonds and half or the
coconut. Freeze again. Let stand at

Yesterdays (Avelon Books, 1991).
The police dismiss country-western
singer Fredeie Landon as a paranoid,
but private investigator Kate McHaney
agrees to take on his case. Over the
past year, three of his former band
members have died under strange cir-
cumstances. Freddie is convinced he is
next in line for murder.

rich, famous soap opera star, and much
to Hannah's chagrin, he has bought the
old family farm for her no-good broth-
er.
Crane, Caroline. Whispers From
Oracel Falls (Avalon Books, 1991).
Nightmares have plagued Dina
McGee for as long as she can remem-
ber--long dark halls, ominous closed
doors, and in the background, a phone
endlessly ringing. When she returns to
the family home in Oracle Falls she
learns that her family had been brutally
murdered, and five-year-old Dina was
the sole survivor. The dreams are all
she has left in her memory of that hor-
rible night.
