Excerpt from Chapter 7 - page 101.

     "Every room had something different," Granny told Lina. "Boxes of toothpaste in one room. Bottles of cooking oil. Bars of soap. Boxes of pills - there were twenty rooms just for vitamin pills. One room was stacked with hundreds of cans of fruit. There was something called pineapple, I remember that one especially."

     "What was pineapple?" asked Lina.

     "It was yellow and sweet," said Granny with a dreamy look in her eyes. "I had it four times before we ran out of it."

We made this wonderful dessert with canned pineapple.

   Recipe

Layer the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking dish with cream filled snack cakes. Slice the cakes in half lengthwise before placing them in the bottom on the baking dish. Add a layer of fruit on top of the snack cakes. Use the class's favorite fruits. (Pineapple is especially good.) Drain the fruit well before pouring it onto the cake. Top the fruit with a layer of vanilla pudding. Next add a layer of whipped topping. The dessert is better after it has chilled for several hours.
