| LIB VINSON'S PRUNE WHIP Lib Vinson is one of my favorite people in the world. She's Carolyn Vinson Nespoli's mom, and when we were growing up, every time Carolyn was responsible for bringing a dessert or a dish to something at the church or elsewhere, she always got her mom to make prune whip, and everybody loved it. The only thing I didn't like about Mrs. Vinson's prune whip was the name. It was almost as if they had focus grouped a bunch of teenagers in the 1960's and asked them, "What's the grossest name for a dessert you can think of?" But I digress. Like I said, everybody loved it--and her. INGREDIENTS 4 egg whites beaten 8 T sugar 1 cup unsweetened chopped cooked prunes (I guess it's possible that such thing exists.) 1/2 cup chipped nuts INSTRUCTIONS 1. Beat eggs, mix in sugar 2.
