Yesterday We Had Our Hands All Around Quilt Guild Meeting . . .

I was one of the hostesses at our November Quilt Guild Meeting.  I brought one of my family's favorite desserts.
Pistachio Torte.  Several ladies asked for the recipe, so here it is.

Pistachio Torte
1 1/2 Sticks Butter
1 1/2 Cups Flour
   3/4 Cup Chopped Pecans
Mix together and press into a 9 x 13 cake pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  The crust should be brown along the edges.
Cool well.
Mix 8 oz Cream Cheese
       1 Cup Powdered Sugar
       1 Cup Cool Whip
and spread onto cooled crust.
​Beat 2 packages of instant Pistachio pudding mix with 
        3 Cups milk for 2 minutes and pour over the cream cheese layer.
Refrigerate for 5 minutes.
Spread Cool Whip over the top and sprinkle with chopped pecans.

I know some of you ladies said you could not watch a facebook video I posted about how to use pool noodles and wood dowels to sandwich your quilts.  Well here is another video I found that uses the same principle, using 1 x 3 boards instead of the pool noodles.
Check it out.
