Fruit Salad Recipe

Father Time, when he was blogging, was quite fond of posting recipes for such things as chili, and I think there was one for homemade gunpowder or something. Anyway, in that tradition, and with repeated prodding from April, I now present you, the Fly's recipe (patent pending) for Bachelor's Fruit Salad.

Bachelor's Fruit Salad by the Fly

Ingredients:

two cans of fruit cocktail

two cans of tropical fruit salad

two cans of mandarin oranges

two cans of sliced peaches

two or three bananas

Cool Whip

Supplies:

one large bowl of some sort

one steak knife and cutting board

one large spoon of some sort

Instructions:

Open your eight cans of fruit, just enough so that fluid but not fruit can escape from the opening. In a standard kitchen sink, drain vigorously to remove as much syrup/fruit juice as possible from the cans.

Empty the contents of the cans into a large bowl of some sort.

With your steak knife, with the bananas still in the peel, make one slice down the length of the banana, and then cut into slices; keeping it attached to the peel keeps all of the slices in one spot, making it easier to dump them into the large bowl of some sort.

Dump the banana slices into the large bowl of some sort.

Using some sort of large blocking implement, possibly even a collander, drain the fluid which will have settled and collected in the large bowl of some sort by now; your fruit is juicy enough, you don't need to have a bunch of mixed fruit juice soaking into it.

With your semi-dried fruit, including bananas, use your large spoon of some sort to add a heaping spoonful (somewhere between two and sixteen ounces, I think) of Cool Whip to the large bowl of some sort. Using the same spoon of some sort, mix thoroughly.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.

And that, folks, is how you make the Fly's Bachelor Fruit Salad (patent pending). I can't believe how much I rule.
