We were discussing holiday menus with Heidi's mom tonight as we gathered around the table for the first meal of our Christmas visit. "Do you like Jello?" she asked as we brainstormed an easy brunch for Christmas morning.
"I'm not a big fan," I answered, "although I'm usually pleasantly surprised when I actually have it. Why?"
"I'm on a big Jello kick," she explained. "I love Jello, and found a cookbook I got for my wedding called The Joys of Jello, so I've been trying a lot of recipes from it."
"You're making Jello from a cookbook you received in 1966?" Heidi's brother asked in amusement. "What kind of things?"
"I made a delicious mold the other day for the neighbors with orange Jello, mandarin oranges, and orange sherbet," she answered. It was delicious! But I've made several other recipes, too."
I was all in. "If only you had a social media account to document your Jello journey!" I said. "I'm sure you would go viral!"
