OK...so I went to the grocery store this morning and top of my
list was orange jello, bananas, and vanilla ice cream. Got it! Ended up buying peach jello. I had forgotten about that. Funny too. The official JellO brand was on sale for $1 per box. Instead, I bought the store brand for only 39cents per box. Same size, same exact ingredients. I came home and cooked it, just now it's starting to jell and I added one fresh banana, cut in half lenghtwise, then sliced in 1/4 inch slices and mixed that in. The semi-gelled jello held it all suspended. Now to let it finish cooling for a few hours, then give it a try along with the vanilla ice cream on the side. Haven't had this in over 40 years but I do remember loving it. :) This will be my dessert tonight and beyond. |

I just don't equate ice cream with gelatin. But like you, I opt for the store brand Jell-O 99% of the time and usually it's the sugar-free I reach for. |

It's much better than just Jello, imo. And for Cindy...yes, plain vanilla ice cream is good too. |

Isn't peach jello orange? Artificial fruit flavors never taste anything like their tree-grown counterparts. Peach, I think, is one of the few exceptions. I'm pretty sure with other flavors you could change the color of them and 9 out of 10 people would be able to guess the flavor: Green cherry jello, pink lime jello, purple apple jello. > I came home and cooked it I haven't made jello in so long I didn't even know you were supposed to cook it. > Haven't had this in over 40 years but I do remember loving > it. :) It's been 40 years for me too. And it won't happen ever again. I can't eat jello or bananas. My throat doesn't like swallowing things with that texture - Get the gag reflex feeling. I like durian and puddings, but can't swallow those either. Custards and dessert mouses are borderline. -sw |

It's not "cooking". You have to boil some water. Then stir the Jell-O powder into it. Then pour it into a bowl or a mold and add cold water (ice cubes if you want a quick set) then put it in the refrigerator. If you want to add fruit, you do it before you put it in the fridge. I have never added fruit to Jell-O but I've certainly heard about it here over the years. Also from having some very old "dessert" cookbooks which often mention the use of fruit in Jell-O. I'd rather just eat fruit than suspend it in a gelatin concoction. Jill |

How could you not like fruit in Jell-O? While I rarely have Jell-O these days,I used to love it with fruit in it. Red Jell-O with sliced bananas and fruit salad were favourites. I will confess to having also enjoyed those Jell-O salads with stuff like grated carrot, shredded cabbage and finely chopped cucumber. |

I used to date a girl who had an older sister who was such a bad cook that she could not make Jell-O. One cup of boiling water and then one cup of cold water. It couldn't be much easier, but she found a way.... two cups of warm water. Lucky for her she had a boyfriend who was as stupid as she was. They went out snowmobiling and went through thin ice..... twice. > > I have never added fruit to Jell-O but I've certainly heard about it > here over the years.Â* Also from having some very old "dessert" cookbooks > which often mention the use of fruit in Jell-O. > > I'd rather just eat fruit than suspend it in a gelatin concoction. > When I was a kid my parents were friends with an elderly couple who had a great fruit and vegetable garden and she used to make jelly desserts with gelatin and pureed fresh fruits. They were delicious. They had distinct fruit flavours. The raspberry tasted like raspberry, strawberry like strawberry and cherry like cherry, not just slightly different flavours of red jello that don't really taste like the fruit they are labelled to be. |

Take that with a grain of salt. I had to boil a cup of water but anytime I turn on the stove to make something, I call it cooking. I DID have to cook the water. No doubt, someone here in RFC will get picky and say that's not cooking. > It's been 40 years for me too. And it won't happen ever again. I > can't eat jello or bananas. My throat doesn't like swallowing > things with that texture - Get the gag reflex feeling. I like > durian and puddings, but can't swallow those either. Custards and > dessert mouses are borderline. First off, the jell-o with the banana was pretty tasty. Later today, I'll add a bit of vanilla ice cream on the side. That will be even better. IMO, jell-o definitely needs some fruit mixed in. I would never eat it plain. Second, many people feel the same way with blah, no texture food. Blah as in boring, not bland as in no taste. Bet you could add some crunch to all of the above you mentioned and maybe not have a problem. Good example is that I like vanilla yogurt but not by itself. It's blah. I'll mix a small bit of crunchy dry cereal then eat it. Much better. Something like Honey Nut cereal or whatever it called. Another example lately is when I bought the store cheese cake. It was ok but... - it was a whipped vanilla cheesecake filling, light not dense. - it had strawberries and glaze on top but - - No crust. WTF? That's what ruined it for me. It needed the texture of a crust For a cheap but decent cheesecake, try Sara Lee plain cheesecake. Ingredients be damned but it's pretty tasty and does have the graham cracker crust which is necessary, imo. |

Best one I ever made, I used homemade chocolate chip cookies for the crust. That was a good one as I like both. Tried an all crushed ginger snap crust once. Good idea but the crust overpowered the filling. If I ever try that one again, I'll use half ginger snaps and half graham crackers. BTW, no cheesecake is worth the high and worthless calories but sometimes the taste buds need a treat. I'll have one or two in a row but then no more for a few years. Moderation. I love deep-fried food too but rarely do that. It's actually been several years. I do have a wish-list for the next time I do this. French fries, onion rings, fried chicken livers, breaded clams and oysters. When I do one, I'll fry for several days in a row but then quit again for years. |

Experience works well but often people "can't imagine that" and lose out on some good new "out of the box" meals. If you don't try new, you'll never advance. Good enough for many though so no worries if that's the way they think. Any time I try a new raved about recipe, I'll try it as stated to see what they are raving about. If I make it again, that's when I will adjust the recipe to my specific taste. |

Tomorrow at the grocery store I might just have to pick up a small container of cottage cheese, a can of crushed pineapple, and a small container of Cool-Whip. Nuts to go in this concoction are already here in the freezer. |

Damn...now *there I go* not thinking out of the box. lol Some day I want to try one of those old boxed pizza kits that many of us had in the 60's. From previous discussions, people have said that they still sell them. What's the brand? I never had a real pizza until I was over 18 and moved away. Here's another oldie to try...Shake and Bake Chicken. LOL "It's Shake and Bake, Daddy and I heyllpped (little girl with a deep southern accent) I also never had real seafood other than Mr's Pauls fish sticks or Howard Johnsons tiny fried clam pieces and never a good steak other than an overcooked thin one like dried shoe leather and tons of A-1 poured on top. After that childhood, it's no wonder that I love almost any meal and not picky at all. heheh |

Moderation. > > One or two cheesecakes, or one or two slices? One or two cheesecakes in a row but only 1-2 slices per day. Once the first is gone, I'll buy another. After that, I'm over it or at least know better not to buy a 3rd one. :) Note: I didn't say how large those slices are. |
