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.

Oh, and her lemon cake recipe uses Jello too. Add a box of lemon Jello powder to a lemon cake mix, prick holes in the top of the baked cake, and pour over a glaze made of confectioner's sugar and lemon juice. I totally make that one.

Yup...she made that lemon cake, but I no longer have her recipe (want to post it?). Though she didn't make the red jello/white cake I've had it at other people's houses.
