Yeah, still trying to figure out the logistics of this. Can't think of many places that would be a 2 hour flight, then a 5 hour drive. Maybe northern Wisconsin? Or the UP of Michigan? Those might be pudding happy places.
Many places east of Kansas are well within the pudding friendly zone. In fact, I'm thinking it is, in fact Kansas-bound pudding. Once you fly past the tree line, it's pie country all the way to Death Valley.
Agree with this. Any of the plains states, really.
OP, please at least tell us what kind of pudding before we all collectively lose it.
She already said it was in Texas.. I want to know this pudding recipe now too! Puddings can actually be really good if done well. Th Brits know this. Not every pudding is plebeian, only the cheap jello style ones you buy at Giant!

You mean the family sized ready made containers?

In a pudding cup layer in order -
Vanilla pudding (homemade if you can, otherwise box is fine)
Crumbled vanilla wafers
Sliced bananas

Crumbled walnut/a sprinkling of nutmeg if you want
That sounds super easy (if disgusting). Not sure it's worth all this anxiety.
It's not the Op's recipe. Just an example of how you can throw together something very quickly. I'm sure that someone could come up with something a bit more elegant - maybe even a layered pumpkin/vanilla dish.
But the MIL requested that dish specifically, not just anything. I'm with the people upthread who are wondering why the MIL can't make/buy her own dessert.
Maybe because the MIL is providing the house, and the hospitality, and the use of her kitchen/silverware/dishes, and every other dish on the table?
I guess my family is different, because in my family we don't expect one relative, especially an elderly relative, to take on the entire burden. My mom usually hosts, and the rest of us actually ask her what she'd like us to bring, and then follow her suggestions.
OP already said that her MIL is ordering everything else for the dinner.
So, do you think you order magically appear? You don't have to pay for them, or drive to pick them up, or arrange them for the table?
Hosting guests, and serving a full meal, even if you didn't cook any of it, is still more work than making pudding.[/quote]
Hello OP's MIL, again!
LOL. MIL, shouldn't you be busy ordering that food and getting gas in the car to pick it up?

Lol!
Don't want to, have to. My annoying ass MIL asked me to make it for tgiving dinner. We have a 2 hour flight and a FIVE HOUR DRIVE on tgiving day to her house. I have no desire nor do I think it's feasible to cook a dessert that she wants to serve for dinner after 6+ hours of travel. So I wanted to see if I could make it in advance.
Can you tell I don't care for her?
