Mmmm-mmm! Aren't you hungry already?
Pictured alongside the creamy dessert is Melon Cup floating in lemon juice and - you guessed it - Dr Pepper.

creation of a new cookbook. You can get your very own copy

a PDF file.) The cookbook still carries some of the old favorites, including the
Strawberry Bavarian. Hold the radium, please.
