Hi ya Foodies !!
I had a HORRIBLE day at work.One of those "climb the watertower and take aim" type days.Well, sometimes cooking up a new dish will make me feel better. With the temps edging 100 degrees the last thing you want to do is fire up the oven !! Other than a little shallow frying this dish is all no-cook, chilled goodness.Trace, my oldest boy, and I were working on a new chip /dip recipe when I made some small mods to have a wonderful Creole Crab Salad. Mix that with a crisp ,tangy fried green tomato, you have a Crab/Tomato Napoleon !! You can charge more for a dish when you name it all fancy like that!! To wash it down, we had some tropical fruit that was at that perfectly ripe. almost too ripe stage, so I made a mango/pineapple/strawberry smoothie, that can
be "adulterated" with a little of the Mr. Bacardi's 151 proof "make Daddy happy juice" !!
Please someone make this tonite and let me know how you like it!!

until all sugar is disssolved.This makes a great sweetener for tea or Kool aid and stays good for months in the fridge
