There goes your image of me...

I made Jello tonight. For the first time in my life.

It's not the Jello of my youth, because it's lacking in canned "fruit cocktail." (My mother was a serious cook, and therefore never employed mini marshmallows.) It does have canned pears and banana slices, though.

It would never have occurred to me to make Jello, except that Alex suggested that she could bring some to school to share with the friends on her birthday. When I expressed surprise, she and Michael both informed me that they like Jello. I never knew. So we bought some, and then Michael got sick and it seemed that it would be a kindness to make something that would slip easily down his sore throat.

So, Jello. In our fridge. But I swear I draw the line well before Chef Boy-Ar-Dee canned ravioli.

Sometimes I get Jello when my nails are doing poorly (e.g., at a salad bar), and sometimes I get pho. Happily, I like both.

Does all pho work, or is it specific kinds based on what meat they use?

I get the kind with soft tendon, on the loose idea that tendon is like cartilage, which is part of what goes into making non-vegetarian gelatin (?), and therefore might be good for my nails and hair. The pho place near me makes eye-of-round with soft tendon that I like.
