It's kind of like the boulder on my back. I could never be a minimalist. Alas. <BR/><BR/>I think the Jell-o have been there because I don't like throwing food away, like to have things around for guests, and/or it was given to me by someone else. So, there's a weird bunch of feelings of obligation there. ha ha ha.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-47104199403435027382009-03-20T01:57:00.000-07:002009-03-20T01:57:00.000-07:00Hey Gaea!Yeah, I can laugh about that experience n...Hey Gaea!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I can laugh about that experience now. At the time it was a whole lot of uncomfortable embarrassment and ultimately futile.<BR/><BR/>It also might have been that I thought of elementary school and lunch-time in the cafeteria. Who knows?<BR/><BR/>I'm glad too, but will have to remember to proceed with caution so that I don't over do it and become allergic to food coloring like my sisters.Andrew Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04191233443131580096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31223185.post-38204755048166830022009-03-20T01:49:00.000-07:002009-03-20T01:49:00.000-07:00Hey Cristi!I'm glad that I could bring back some w...Hey Cristi!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad that I could bring back some warm Southern memories for you. It's funny how the little things can be such powerful triggers.

Both my mother and grandmother made this regularly.Cristi Baxter Clothierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948920317173464245noreply@blogger.com
