My Mother-In-Law Double Crossed Me Again!!

This is the third year I’ve asked for her Easter ambrosia salad recipe. The first year she “misplaced” it. The second, it wasn’t even the same salad! This year, it seemed to be correct, but it’s off somehow. It’s too watery and it doesn’t have “that tang.” It’s my boyfriend’s favorite, so obviously she’s jealous and doesn’t want me to be able to make it for her only son. I think I’ll snoop through her recipe file the next chance I get. Any ideas? Hers is like any of the others, but much less cloying/fake tasting. No Cool Whip in her recipe...??? Oh well.

She’s not your mother-in-law unless you’re married. Until then, she’s your boyfriend’s mother.

Honey...breath. Just google a recipe for ambrosia fruit salad. There! Feel better?

That looks dreadful.

Even I wouldn't eat it.

Colored mini-marshmallows?

This scenario sounds familiar.

Cool Whip in ambrosia?

by Anonymousreply 6April 24, 2019 12:35 AM

She's using a small amount of Miracle Whip - that's where the "tangy" taste is coming from.

by Anonymousreply 7April 24, 2019 12:35 AM

does she bake? next time you go, mix it up - put some sugar in the flour, some baking soda in the sugar, lots of salt in the baking powder - you know the drill - that will shut her up - cunt.

by Anonymousreply 8April 24, 2019 12:43 AM

Isn't it made with sour cream, mini marshmallows and drained canned fruit salad? No Miracle Whip or Cool Whip. I'm pretty sure that's about it.

I thought it was just oranges and coconut.

The cunt must die

Just put her in the basement and feign ignorance

Oh, and one more thing.

Remember, the key is the pineapple

My grandmother used to make this concoction in the 70s. Your MIL is doing you a favor.

It's shit. Make a new salad and move on.

These made up scenarios are so freaking weird.

I love that stuff! I use halved grapes, mandarin oranges, fresh pineapple, toasted pecans and coconut and chopped maraschino cherries. Whip heavy cream with a little sugar and then fold in sour cream and mini marshmallows.

Food of the gods indeed!

This sounds like hell in “salad” form. Is it a salad? Dessert? A fruit salad?

by Anonymousreply 18April 24, 2019 1:09 AM

Fuck you OP. I hope you choke on this nasty salad and then I hope that your boyfriend gets hep c.

"Is it a salad? Dessert? A fruit salad? "

It's all that and a floor wax!

I am a Southerner and there is always ambrosia at get togethers, and I hate that shit, more than anything. If the Greek Gods had to live on that crap, they would have destroyed humanity.

by Anonymousreply 21April 24, 2019 1:51 AM

It looks like puke.

by Anonymousreply 22April 24, 2019 1:53 AM

Is she from Kentucky? If so the 'secret ingredient' is quite likely chopped up Oxy.

by Anonymousreply 23April 24, 2019 2:18 AM

Thank God, the Southerner tries to discourage eating this crap rather than claiming his ancestors invented it.

Why are you dating anyone with a favorite ambrosia salad recipe?

What a lying cow! How can you misplace something in a fucking trailer?

She probably resents her only son being shacked up with a mashugana shiksa.

I can't lie. I love ambrosia. Shank that bitch.

by Anonymousreply 29April 24, 2019 2:39 AM

This contains canned fruit and shredded coconut, which is a vegetable. This food is a healthy and nutritious treat.

Your mother in law told me that her dying wish is that "the whore " never find her ambrosia recipe . She plans on taking it to her grave.

She just doesn't want you tossing her son's fruit salad.

OP- 1 cup of sour cream 1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut 1 cup crushed pineapple (drained) 1 cup drained mandarin orange slices 1 cup miniature marshmallows

Mix all ingredients and let set overnight in a covered bowl

That "salad" looks absolutely vile. I would sick up if I even tasted it.

by Anonymousreply 36April 24, 2019 5:41 AM

It has fruit cocktail, at least in the versions I've had.

by Anonymousreply 37April 24, 2019 6:12 AM

No it does not have fruit cocktail

I've never had this, but I'd give it a taste!

R35 Please put that covered bowl in the fridge overnight - don't leave it out on the counter.

We don't want to hear about your mother-in-law's tang, OP.

The salad gets its tang from a secret ingredient: she adds just a soupçon of her pussy juices.

Gag ! My mother used to make this shit and I loathed it.All the adults at that time loved it though. I will say mother always used to cut up her own fruit for it as opposed to canned anything.

I've had it, it isn't that special. Want to know why obesity is epidemic in the south? Between Ambrosia, Banana Pudding, etc. All that sugar.
