The pudding does look tasty. What do you suppose a refrigerator tray is?

It's like an ice cube tray without the molds for the cubes.

So, for the milk probably any shallow bowl would do. Individual paper cups would probably work great for freezing the finished product.

It's odd how the recipe writers never seem to use fresh ingredients--it's always canned. Canned mushrooms, canned onions, canned peas and carrots (which are VILE). I wonder if it's because it's easier to get a calorie count, or just convenience?

It's because ... it's the 70s! I think clothes were canned back then, lol.

Cans "liberated" the American housewife from the perils of fresh foods. They were cheaper, easier to prepare for use, and did not spoil quickly (Alton Brown, "Good Eats"). My mother was one of those freed by the tin can (even though I grew up with two working parents.)Betty being a big pre-package food vendor (their cake mixes are awesome tasting) would support the un-fresh revolution. Only recently have I started learning to work with fresh produce. I have learned the hard way that fresh veg has to be blanched to be similar in taste and texture (yeah, the green bean hotdish was a wee crunchy in the wrong manner).

Just say no to cans, especially when there is a maniacal cycloptic alien inside.

Who else is amused by the jar in the corner that says "instant onions?" XD

I'm in love with the minimalistic can labels, too.

All I can think about is how that milk would curdle when the lime is added to it.
