Vanilla pudding with strawberries

The even exchange of goods and services tends to benefit both parties.

For example, if a friend has too many strawberries and you have too much vanilla pudding, the obvious solution is to give said friend some vanilla pudding in exchange for some strawberries.

You just can’t go wrong either way. Especially when you add graham cracker crumbs.

Non-dairy vanilla pudding
1 box vanilla Jell-o cook & serve pudding mix (NOT instant pudding)
2-inch section of a vanilla bean
3 cups soy milk
1/2 packet unflavored gelatin

Cook the pudding mix as directed, subsituting soy milk for milk-milk. Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape the seeds into the mix. Whisk ingredients together, then — while still whisking — slowly add 1/2 packet of gelatin, then continue to cook as directed.
