we make jello shots for the adults during trick or treat for halloween every year... hundreds of little cups. if that counts
Oh it counts. Youβre doing the Lordβs work. π
Wow, do parents take shots at your door? This is not the Halloween I remember, but good on you.
ha, yeah, 1 per person! and its jello.. its candy-adjacent
Yes, but there's also vodka involved haha do you live in mostly single-family suburbs?
I was cleaning out my pantry last week and found 3 boxes of jello mix that were like 4 years old and I threw them out.
When I went grocery shopping, I was like "oh, yeah, I'm out of jello" and bought 3 more π€¦πΌββοΈ
I make dog treats out of jello by adding chicken stock regularly. The stock comes from boiling rotisserie chicken leftovers. It costs about a dollar per batch. My dogs love it and it's good for them
That's an amazing idea that I'm going to steal
Help yourself, your pets will love you for it. A couple of tips if you don't mind: I boil the rotisserie chicken carcass (or any kind of meat and bones) for 10 hours on very low heat and covered. It takes that long to extract nutrients. You can use canned stuff but it's full of salt. I pour the whole thing into a pie tin (with gelatin) and sprinkle molasses yeast flakes on top. You can find this at health food stores. It's got lots of nutritional benefits and if your pet ever suffers from a lack of appetite a little on top of their food may help. A little bit goes a long way. Bon appetit!
My last colonoscopy so like 2 years old.
Which begs the question, why havenβt you had your colonoscopy? You are too old to not have had one and jello in an acceptable color is on the okay foods list.
Also barf
One of my wife's friends had just had a kid. He's in highschool now.
A couple of years ago. Jell-O is useful when you have to go on a liquid diet.
I will never make Jello for as long as I live. I feel like there's some kind of dark, horrible secret behind its creation, like it's made of ground up roaches and goat phlegm or something, and I just don't want to know.
Gelatin, also known as hydrolyzed collagen, is made from primarily pig skins which are acid treated to break them down.
I specifically stated that I did not want to know, why would you do this to me
Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.
Look up agar agar : it's a gelatin substitute made from algae
They make vegan jelly (or jello) nowadays, don't feel like you can't have fun any more!
The last time I made Jello I think I was like 22 or 23, so probably around 2004. I was at a party at my friend's house that had fizzled down to about 5 people pretty early. That's when someone had the great idea to make Jello shots... I prepared the Jello on the stove, but my friend Mary actually assembled the shots. She did not mention to anyone that she used Everclear and added almost double what the recipe called for. Anyway, she put them in the fridge and then promptly forgot about them... Until we ran out of beer. Then someone remembered. They weren't completely set, which at the time we attributed to them not getting chilled long enough. In truth, there was so much pure alcohol in those shots that they wouldn't have ever set even if we kept them in the freezer overnight! Assuming we were immortal, as drunk people in their early 20s tend to do, we heroicly downed about 4 of them each before we realized how strong they were... Most of the rest of that night is a blur of laughter, spinning lights, and eventually a soft couch and oblivion.
That was probably about the 2nd or 3rd most drunk I've ever been before or since, and definitely top 5 worst hangovers lol
For the record I do not drink anymore
Sounds familiar, only that we went for some bottom shelf vodka. I believe I was 21, was at the very end of my bachelor's degree. Probably around July/August 2005.
Fucking never, the texture grosses me out
Unfortunately, jello requires violence and cruelty towards animals, and this is not acceptable to me.
Downvoters: "Violence and cruelty are acceptable when jello is involved."
I make jello vaginas when Iβm feeling lonely.
Adding a bit of fish sauce makes it pretty realistic, I think.
Not since college
I'm mid 40's and I literally just finished making jello with my elementary school aged daughter. We're still waiting for it to solidify. Last time we did it a few weeks ago we used cold water and it solidified pretty quickly.
About 20 years ago is the first and last time I made jello myself. I'm 32yo now.
Never. Had to Google what it even is. I had something similar once as a child.
I keep some in the medicine cabinet. Gelatin can make a nice throat coating when you have a bad cough.
Do you eat it dry?!
