"Raising a teenager is like nailing Jell-o to a tree".
What is it about Jell-o?
We enjoyed a lovely evening meal under the trees
and bid a fond farewell to Deb & Wayne as they head back to Texas.
Dinner conversation veered
from people getting struck by lightning...
Lost and found (and lost) cats...
To a new and wonderful Santa Fe Italian restaurant.
And somewhere in the middle
we began to discuss
Jell-o.
Comparisons of strange combinations
of unusual food groups
mixed with various fruity-flavored Jell-o;
church-basement secret Jell-o creations,
unusual and inappropriate Jell-o molds
meat mixed into Jell-o,
and Jell-o shots in college (and beyond).
What does Jell-o mean to you?
Cool summer treats?
Creepy Jell-o molds with who-know-what inside?
The 1950's?
Or 60's?
Or 70's?
Or 80's?
Or last week?
The ultimate hospital food?
Something to be mixed with Cool Whip?
And what food truly belongs together with
this quivering mountain of gelatinous goo?
Here is your challenge:
Report the BEST and WORST combo with Jell-o in the mix.
Happy Jell-o hunting!

Why "Traveller's Joy" ?
When I started this blog in May 2007,
it was for the sole purpose
of staying in touch
with friends and family while
we traveled
to Europe for three months.
I am still staying in touch.
"Traveller's Joy" clematis vitalba:
Wildflower found throughout
southwest Europe/Africa.
Used for medicinal purposes
and found "climbing and covering"
the roadsides of Europe.

....................................
We spend January 1
walking through our lives,
room by room,
drawing up a list of work to be done,
cracks to be patched.
Maybe this year,
to balance the list,
we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...
not looking for flaws,
but for potential.

Can't wait to see the results! It was a terrific send-off. Thanks for the perfect evening! Maybe we'll bring back a Texas BBQ Jello! In a longhorn mold! See you soon. D & W
Jello makes me think of many family dinners. At least once a month we'd all gather at my grandma's house for Sunday dinner when I was growing up. We've since decided that it's not an official Clayton gathering unless there's red jello with sliced bananas. The last time I used jello was to make a July 4th trifle. I found blue jello for my red, white, and blue dessert.
I'm a purist--Jello is good by itself or perhaps with fruit juice instead of the cold water mixed in. It is a comfort food to me when I get sick or feel nauseous.
How about a nice Jell-o curry? Yummy!
Methodists, like Lutherans, love Jello. Orange with mandarin orange segments or the stranger green Jello with odd bits of unidentifiable shredded things (is that CARROT?) come to mind. There was also a Mom concoction that involved either cream cheese or cottage cheese (it was white, anyway) and perhaps pineapple, marshmellows and nuts. I think. Extensive years of food therapy have erased the memory. Lisa L
