Earlier this week my office hosted a Bon Voyage party for one of my coworkers who is moving on to bigger and better things. The party was nautical-themed with little sail boats everywhere. I felt compelled to bust out my Jell-O molds, so I decided, in keeping with the theme, to make a fish-shaped gelatin.Continue reading Jell-O Pudding Idea Book: Pastel Pudding Dessert (1968)
This dish is part of an upcoming DiS1972 dinner–Liver ‘N Onions.
Greetings and salutations! It’s been a while since I’ve unmolded something for the blog. And I angered a lot of people with my Jell-O fail on Christmas Eve:
With mayonnaise it’s a salad, but with whipped cream, it’s a dessert! You laugh, but that’s how the 1963 edition of The Joys of Jell-O intended it to be! When you serve them as desserts, garnish with prepared dessert topping or whipped cream. As salads, unmold them on crisp greens and top withContinue reading Two-Way Recipes: Cherry Waldorf Salad (1963)
Hola, kittens! Today on my youtube channel I posted a brand-spankin’ new video. In it I make a packet of sherry-flavored gelatin and try my hand at solo shooting and editing. Please be kind–I’m rusty and youtube is really basic. I’m looking for a better editing option, but at the moment this is what IContinue reading Mexican Sherry Gelatin Dessert

It’s the 2nd Annual Pieathalon, kittens! Welcome to my contribution, the Melton Mowbray Pie from the Vincent Price Treasury of Great Recipes. This British recipe was submitted by the lovely Jenny of Silver Screen Suppers, who, happens to be British. This is a whopper of a recipe. Lookie: Lemme walk you through it…. 12:30: removedContinue reading PIEATHALON: Melton Mowbray Pie
Well, I really dropped the ball with this one. I almost missed the birthday of one of DiS!’s favorite people, Mr. Burt Reynolds! Now, when I made the Stuffed Burger Bundles on Tuesday night with my friend Jason, I didn’t have Burt in mind, but I think that Burt would like this dish, it’s beefyContinue reading Stuffed Burger Bundles for Burt Reynolds
This was part of Casey’s Ham Loaf dinner. Which I haven’t written about yet. But I will. And then link back to this post so you’ll remember that THIS is the Jell-O that went with the loaf. Oh, how I have reservations with dishes that are made in loaf-form! Why loaf, why? But I digress.Continue reading Uncle Bob’s Jell-O Salad
Sorry I’ve been AWOL, kittens. But I do have a very good reason–I just moved into my very own house! The house is a work in progress. Very much a work in progress. In the second bedroom it looks a closet exploded–just clothes and clothes and clothes everywhere. And there are boxes filled with random shitContinue reading Microwave Jack O’ Lantern Salad
It looks like I inadvertently took a vacation from the blog this month, amiright? I’m sorry I haven’t posted all month–but I’ve been ultra-busy and I might (I might!) have an exciting announcement come September. But! Speaking of September, Labor Day weekend is right around the corner. So I am giving you a recipe that youContinue reading Pretzel Jell-O
Welcome to the Pieathalon! In the heavily debated war of Cake vs. Pie, I am definitely on Team Pie. Pies are so versatile. They can be fruity, creamy, sweet or savory–and if I’m not mistaken, isn’t pizza technically a pie? And quiche, too! Plus, I have that whole Bisquick Impossible Pie thing going on. AndContinue reading First Annual PIEATHALON: Seafoam Cantaloupe Pie
I selected this recipe, from Better Homes & Gardens Snacks and Refreshments, specifically for this year’s National Jell-O Week: Let’s take a closer look at the cover. Oh my! What is that shiny item in the lower right hand corner? What the hell is that? Is that pate covered in gelatin? Why yes. Yes it is! IContinue reading National Jell-O Week 2014: Braunschweiger Glace
So I did another gelatin challenge. Do you remember the first one? When I made the Swedish Jellied Veal? Ah, good times! Well, me and some of my internet friends decided to test our mettle with another gelatin celebration. And isn’t Labor Day–summer’s last hurrah–the perfect day to serve up some Jell-O salads? The correctContinue reading The Knoxapocalypse is Nigh! Olive Wreath Mold
This is the third and final installment of 37. Beef Stroganoff. Thank the lord. And this is a dish where I actually took notes! But I didn’t take a picture of the recipe. So I have to type it all out. Oh, bother. CARD #96 CHARLOTTE RUSSE 1 tbsp gelatin 2 tbsp cold water 1Continue reading Charlotte Russe
Every year for Easter I have a big ol’ roast leg of lamb. And then every year I end up with a whole mess of leftovers. But that’s not a bad thing because every year I make lamb curry. This Easter was no different. Oh, but this year I added a Jell-O mold. The bonelessContinue reading Roast Lamb & Kale Curry a la Leftovers (with chutney Jell-O)
I really need to mark the 2nd week of February on my calendar because this is the second time that National Jell-O Week has snuck up on me! I am woefully unprepared. Again. I will attempt to make numerous jiggly treats this week to share with you; but in the meantime, get in the spirit of the seasonContinue reading National Jell-O Week!
Season’s Greetings, darlings! As of today at 5pm I will officially be on holiday break. And boy does that feel good. But perhaps I’m not feeling as good as Sausage Santa, here. Is Mr. Skogman making a friendly offering of tasty beef log? Or does that smile hide murderous thoughts of assault by salami andContinue reading A Very Merry Wiener Wednesday!
