Issue #18 Food Disappointments
And…
I’m sorry.
To all you Jello enthusiasts out there who think it goes with anything and everything, again, I’m sorry.
I can go here:
This seems like a perfectly logical and, perhaps, even tasty use of Jello.
This, however, does not:
(You might have to zoom in and read the ingredients for “Ye Olde Jello Ring Around The Tuna.”)
Welcome to a few of the delicacies which came from this book I inherited years ago from my mother-in-law:
Let’s be clear.
I like Jello.
I grew up on Jello.
I guess I just have very limited ideas regarding what you can put in it.
My list of things that should never be in Jello – feel free to play along at home:
Corn Chips – I may have already mentioned this.
Peanuts – I mean, why would you?
Fish or seafood of any kind – even more – why would you?
Ham – seriously?
Mayonnaise – just “eww.” I know, there are a million “salads” made with jello and mayonnaise – I will eat none of them.
Whipped cream – OK, I know I’m on thin ice here. The whole world mixes whipped cream with Jello. I have a basic problem with the inconsistency of textures – especially if the “whipped cream” is actually vegetable oil based non-dairy topping.
Maybe I’m the only one.
Feel free to send me your list so I won’t feel so alone.

Dahlias!
I met my first large Dahlia in Germany in 1993 and fell in love. But I haven’t had them in my garden very often because they need to be dug up and wintered over in a cool place and I, frankly, stink at that sort of garden organization. But I planted several of them this year. Here’s hoping I can keep them for the future!
