MOUNTAIN HIGH MUDD PIE

6 cups chocolate ice cream
1 cup peanut butter cookie pieces
6 cups vanilla ice cream
1 2/3 cups creamy peanut butter
4 chocolate-flavored graham crackers
1 cup fudge topping
1 20-ounce squirt bottle chocolate topping
1 20-ounce squirt bottle caramel topping
1 can whipped cream
3/4 cup chopped peanuts
12 maraschino cherries, with stems

Soften the chocolate ice cream and load it into the bottom of a 2 1/2- to 3-quart mixing bowl. Make sure the surface of the ice cream is smooth and leveled.
Spread the peanut butter cookie pieces evenly over the top of the ice cream, then cover the bowl and put it back into the freezer for at least 1 hour.

Soften the vanilla ice cream and spread it over the chocolate ice cream and cookie pieces. Again, be sure to smooth and level the surface of the ice cream. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it back into the freezer for at least 1 hour.

Use a spatula to spread 2/3 cup of peanut butter over the surface of the ice cream. Be sure the ice cream has hardened before you do this or it could get sloppy. Crush the chocolate graham crackers into crumbs and spread them
evenly over the peanut butter. Put the bowl back into the freezer for at least one hour.

Remove the bowl from the freezer and hold it in a sink filled with warm water for about 1 minute. You want the ice cream around the edges to soften just enough that you can invert the ice cream onto a plate. Turn a large plate upside down and place it on top of the bowl. Flip the bowl and plate over together, and tap gently on the bowl until the ice cream falls out onto the plate. You may have to put the bowl back into the water if it's stubborn. Once the ice cream is out, cover it with plastic wrap and place it back in the freezer for another 1 or 2 hours.
Without heating it up, spread the fudge evenly over the entire surface of the ice cream mountain. Put the fudge-coated ice cream back into the freezer for 1 hour.
When the fudge has hardened, spread the remaining 1 cup of peanut butter over the entire surface as well. Once again, back into the freezer for at least 1 hour.
Slice the ice cream with a warm knife into 12 pieces. Put wax paper between the cuts so that when you serve it later, it is easy to divide. Then slip it back into the freezer, covered. When serving, first coat a plate with a criss-cross pattern of
chocolate and caramel sauce. Make three parallel lines down the plate with the squirt bottle of chocolate sauce. Then three parallel horizontal lines made with the bottle of caramel sauce.

SALMON HORSERADISH PASTA
Lax- och pepparrotspasta (by Bella, who lives in Sweden) Serves 4

Horseradish in Swedish is "pepparrot", which directly translated into English would be "pepper root". Rather accurate, don't you think? I learned to love horseradish only as an adult, and now I'm constantly looking for dishes to put it in. :-DD I haven't tried this one since I'm allergic to salmon, but Mom gives me her word of honor as she loves both salmon and "pepper root"!

10 - 14 oz pasta, e.g. noodles (tagliatelle)
5 oz smoked salmon
good 1/3 cup milk
good 3/4 cup crème fraiche or sour cream
2 tbsp freshly grated horseradish
2 tbsp chopped chives
dash salt
dash black pepper

Boil the pasta according to package instructions. Dice the salmon.

Bring crème fraiche or sour cream and milk to a boil in a saucepan. Stir in salmon, horseradish and chives. Flavor with salt and pepper and heat through.
Serve the sauce with the pasta or mix pasta and sauce. A nice salad is almost a must.
