Cooking instruction summary:

In a stand mixer (or medium bowl with hand mixer) combine pistachio pudding mix with 1 cup cream and 1 cup of milk. Whisk until fluffy but thick.You can either transfer this to another bowl or load the pudding into a piping bag to make it easier to fill the cups. Set aside in the fridge until needed.Now clean your mixing bowl and then mix your chocolate pudding mix with 1 cup cream and 1 cup milk. Whisk until fluffy but thick.You can either spoon out of this bowl or load the pudding into another piping bag to make it easier to fill the cups. Either way, set it aside in the fridge until needed.Shell your pistachios and then chop or crush them. I do mine by shelling them first, then I put them in a ziploc bag, seal it almost all the way up (I leave a touch open so it doesn't explode) and then whack it with a rolling pin. If you use the flat end of the rolling pin it works fantastic on pistachios. It does them so they resemble coarsely chopped ones which I like.Now set the pistachios aside in a bowl with a spoon handy.Now take 8 paper cups and line them up.Either pipe or spoon about 2 tablespoons worth of pistachio pudding in the bottom of each cup.Now add a layer of chopped pistachios.Pipe or spoon about 2 tablespoons worth of chocolate pudding in the cups.Add another layer of pistachios.Pipe or spoon about 2 tablespoons worth of pistachio pudding in the cups.Add another layer of pistachios.Pipe or spoon about 2 tablespoons worth of chocolate pudding in the cups.Cover with plastic wrap or tinfoil.Place the cups in your freezer for about 6 to 8 hours.Remove and peel away the paper cups. Place ice cream on plates.Garnish with chocolate sauce and more pistachios.Serve with a big old pistachio and chocolate smile!

Food Joke

One day while walking down the street a highly successful executive woman was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself. "Welcome to Heaven," said St.Peter. "Before you get settled in though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had an executive make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with you." "No problem, just let me in." said the woman. "Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in." "Actually, I think I've made up my mind...I prefer to stay in Heaven", said the woman. "Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St. Peter put the executive in an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell. The doors opened and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually a really nice guy and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved good- bye as she got on the elevator. The elevator went up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and found St. Peter waiting for her. "Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St. Peter came and got her. "So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity," he said. The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell." So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and Filth. She saw her friends were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her. "I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable." The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you; today you're staff."
