#SundaySweets



My sweet choice for this sunday is one of my favorites - I truly can't get enough of it. The ingredients may seem a bit odd to you but TRUST ME.

 Frozen Pistachio Delight                                                                                                                                  
42 Ritz crackers, crushed
½ cup sugar
¼ cup shredded coconut
1 stick butter, melted
2 small packages pistachio pudding mix
1 ½ cup milk
1 quart softened vanilla ice cream
Cool Whip
Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Make the crust by mixing the crushed crackers with the sugar, coconut, and melted butter.  Press into a 9x13 pan.
Mix together the pudding, milk, and ice cream.  Pour over the crust and allow to freeze.  Before serving spread the Cool Whip on top and sprinkle with the nuts, if using.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
