JELL-O!

[jmcquown]

It rained yesterday so I after an appointment and a couple of errands
decided to re-organize the pantry. I found some boxes of Jell-O which I
had brought with me when I moved from Tennessee. I prepared a box of
Raspberry Jell-O last night.

This morning I've been outside trimming the boxwoods that line the
walkway to the front door. I still need to wash a few exterior windows.
It's already quite warm outside so I'm looking forward to a serving of
that nice cold jiggly Jell-O when I'm done with the outside chores. :)

[Dave Smith]

I made some a couple weeks ago. It was the first Jell-O I had made in
more than a year. It was delicious. I love that stuff.

Beats the heck out of me why Kraft Foods doesn't make a vegan version of Jell-O. That would be awesome. I might even buy something like that. There's several seaweed based gels available. That stuff stays solid at room temperature. That's a good thing.

[S Viemeister]

The last time I had Jello, I was in hospital, on a restricted diet.

[jmcquown]

I can't say I've ever been given Jell-O in the hospital. My restricted
diet was primarily hot broth. I made this Jell-O by choice and it's
quite nice and refreshing after doing some work outside around the house. :)

[Graham]

One of my grandmothers occasionally made a strawberry flavoured, milk
jello for Sunday tea. I don't know why she bothered because it rarely
got eaten:-)

[S Viemeister]

Were it not for the hospital association, I might enjoy Jello, but it
just reminds me of being ill and helpless.

[Sheldon Martin]

I like Jello, could be a big bowlful and I'll finish it all. My
favorite is lime Jello, and I use less water so it's firmer so I can
slice it into cubes and sprinkle it with granulated sugar.

Old Pickleball isn't familiar with vegetarians and vegans, people who
don't want dead animal in their Jell-O? Tsss.

You're lucky. When I was in for my gall bladder they had be on clear
fluids for three days. Every meal was broth, Jell-O and coffee or tea.
On the last day I revolted and demanded real food, and I didn't eat
Jell-O again for a couple years.

[Dave Smith]

When I was a kid my parents had befriended an elderly English couple. It
was the 1950s and they were in their 80s. They had an huge garden and
grew all sorts of fruits and berries. The woman used to make jelly
flavoured with berries fresh from the garden. It was delicious.

He was an interesting old guy. He had been a sailor and had been on the
ship that laid the first transatlantic cable.

In the end, every thread is about Old Pickleball.

For me it is comfort food when I am sick. I like red Jell-O. It can be
any red. Lime would come after the reds, then maybe lemon.Forget about
orange and grape.

[jmcquown]

The last time I was in the hospital (2008) I had nothing but broth and
or juice for days. No Jell-O. When they finally fed me a real meal it
was browned ground beef, loose (not hambburger form) on a soft hamburger
bun. I was so hungry by day five it was the best tasting sandwich I'd
ever had!

Jill

[André Malraux]

Ok:

1. Red
2. Lime
3. Lemon (maybe)
...
99 Orange
100. Grape

But what about blood orange?

Ditto. It would likely suck just like other vegan products do.

Believe it or not, vegans are humans too. Well, at the very least, semi-humans and as semi-humanoid creatures, they deserve being a target of large food companies intent on grabbing some of that vegan money. Some vegans are against stuff like milk, eggs, and honey but I'm pretty sure that every single vegan aren't going to go along with skin, bone, and hoofs, being boiled for hours and made into a delightfully jolly desert. I'll eat Jell-O myself but there's no way that I want to contemplate the disgusting reality of what Jell-O really is.

[Dave Smith]

But not Kraft.

You mean that fruit flavored gel desert mixes exist. Jell-O branded gel deserts made by Kraft foods does not. I am aware that alternate vegetable gel deserts/treats/candy exists because I grew up eating them.

I don't make it often, but I LOVE Jell-O!

At a department picnic 40+ years ago a co-workers mother made a Jell-O
mold of strawberry(?) and cottage cheese(?). It sounds revolting and I'm
sure it had other ingredients, but it was delicious to me.

[Dave Smith]

My mother used to make that sort of thing. I always liked it.

The power of suggestion. You made me whip up an orange jello with Dole
tangerine sections right now. I had to short the cold water because of
the tangerines, to fit in the covered serving dish that I use.
That's a couple minutes of sweat and tears that I'll never get back ;)

I just can't take the artificial taste. And I'm not so fond of the
texture as to make it with real fruit juice.

All vegans are against milk, eggs, and honey.

Most vegetarians will eat milk, eggs, and honey.

Yes, no animal products is pretty much the definition of "vegan".

Her presentation was simply not appealing.

If you had been older, and made her a nice wooden bowl to present
her plain boring jello, folks would have eaten it.

I mean a titty mold. With long thick nipples?

Uncle Tojo was just whining about vegetarian bullshit. Settle down.
Don't blow a fuse. Remember your heart. And don't let master druce
get you worked up when he arrives later. You are too young to die
of a shit hemorrhage.

[Hank Rogers]

Settle down uncle Tojo. You'll still be allowed to operate your
hearing aide scam kiosk at the chiropractors office, there on the rock.

Your master will probably be along soon to soothe yoose ruffled
feathers. And he may sniff your ass.

That don't sound too bad actually. Did it have some type of fruit

[Bryan Simmons]

There isn't anything intrinsically wrong with small j
"jello." One could use plain gelatin and fruit juice to
make a wobbly substance that tastes good. Lime
performs well, either sweetened with real sugar or
sucralose.

[Hank Rogers]

Yeah. Most of the really big ladies I've known wouldn't eat jello
to save your life.

Not to worry. Sooner or later someone on the australian continent

It's been a few years since I made Jell-o, but it was some red variety,
and I mixed in a can of mixed cocktail fruit. I guess that was
"vintage" of me, but I think it made a nice addition. I remember my
paternal grandmother doing that occasionally.

I like the Jell-O brand cook 'n serve butterscotch pudding. Forget the
"instant" kind, ick.

Cottage cheese and fruit go very well together. I buy the large
containers of large curd cottage cheese and mix in a couple spoons of
fruit preserve into a bowl-full. Makes a good breakfast.

Do you not like the Jell-O brand boxes, for some reason? I can't
remember the last time I had lime Jell-O, but now that Sheldon mentioned
it, I think I'll pick up a box next time. Yum!

I used to love fruit salad in Jell-O.

If you like butterscotch pudding why not just make it from scratch,
Combine brown sugar and corn starch, add some milk and and beat in an
egg, heat it up and keep stirring until it thickens. It is a lot better
and a lot cheaper than the pudding mix.

LOL! Actually, the brand I prepared was Royal. I didn't figure anyone
would recognize the brand so I called it Jell-O.

Yeah, that a *bit* less white trash than the instant.

If you want butterscotch, you cave to caramelize the brown sugar.
Otherwise it's just brown sugar pudding. Still better than that
boxed crap the hoi polloi here shovel into their maws.

I tried to make it from scratch once. It was good, I followed a recipe
posted in our paper, shared from a chef the Washington Post. It was too
involved to justify making regularly, but I might try a more simple
recipe again some time.

This one is very easy to make. It doesn't bother with cooking the sugar
first and it is delicious.

It is an example of the reasons for my pet peeve about pudding mixes.
You have to add the egg, milk and butter to the mix, so you are paying a
significant price for a few cents worth of kitchen staples.

Chocolate pudding may be a different matter if you use a recipe that
calls for chocolate chips or bakers chocolate, but using cocoa powder is
not very expensive.

My wife made a variation of this one by substituting white sugar for
brown and then grating lime zest on top and sprinkling it with finely
chopped candied ginger.




Butterscotch Pudding

2/3 cup dark brown sugar
3 Tblsp. Corn starch
pinch of salt
2 cups milk
1 egg lightly beaten
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 Tbslp. Butter
½ cup whipping cream (optional)


In a medium sauce pan, whisk brown sugar with corn starch and salt until
evenly mixed. Whisk in 1/3 cup of the milk until smooth. In a large
measuring cup, whisk remaining milk with the egg until well blended and
then whisk it into the mixture in the pan.

Set the pan over medium heat and stir continuously until mixture boils.
Reduce heat to low and continue to stir and simmer one minute. Removed
from heat and stir in vanilla and butter. Strain if necessary to remove
lumps.

Lol, that beats my sheeple and pie hole.

Lazy.

If you don't caramelize the sugar, it's not butterscotch.

Don't hassle pickleball folks! It's one of the fastest growing sport in the US. In the end, they'll get the last laugh. OTOH, calling a sport "pickleball" is a sure fire way to be ridiculed.
Here's some "jell-O" made with carrageenan. It's pandan coconut flavored gel that remains firm at room temperature. I poured some raspberry kefir on it.
