Old People Fruit Salad

So, one of the few people who I know reads this blog is my sister in law Jen...which explains why she sends me recipes, and I make them! However, I've had the impression that she thinks I spend my days slaving over the stove creating these "gourmet" meals. Some days, I do, and I truly enjoy doing it...other days I'd rather eat out, or we scrounge together a meal out of the freezer and pantry. In an effort to prove this fact, I'm now going to try to blog about ALL my dinners- regardless of their tastiness! I make no promises. Yesterday was one of the scrounging days. I hadn't been to the commissary in a week and a half, so the fridge was pretty bare. We had Bubba Burgers (frozen), Lipton parmesan noodles and "Old People Fruit Salad." To give Dan credit, he did jazz up the burgers. Each one had a different seasoning-cajun, middle eastern and italian. They were pretty tasty! The noodles were stuck to the bottom of the pan. How for the fruit salad...

As a teenager, I worked in the kitchen at an assisted living facility. One of the "desserts" they served was sliced bananas with orange juice poured over them. I remember thinking it was pretty bizarre, but then I tried it, and it was tasty- the flavors complimented each other so well! These days, when I make this, I add whatever fruit I have available. Last night it was bananas (always include these), cherries (sliced) and grapes (sliced). You mix all these together, and then pour about a cup of orange juice over them. Let it sit in the fridge for about an hour...this isn't necessary, but I think makes it tastier! Scoop it out with a big spoon (serving the juice with it) and enjoy! You could even eat it with your dentures out, I suppose :oP
