......the JELLO family
Do you know the jingle? I apparently know every jingle known to man stuck in my brain. When this will become useful is yet to appear. Remembering children's from my youth however has come in handy but I digress....
Hand foot and mouth disease. Heard of? If you have or have had a child in daycare you are aware of this lovely disease that can spread like wildfire through any daycare.
We had our second scare this week. And when this comes you brace for the worse. So after a trip to the doctors office this week and a diagnosis of yes that probably what this is.....I stopped by the store to stock up on a few things of the soft variety. You see one of the place this where this ever lovely disease can take hold is in the mouth (hence the name) and it can make it a challenge for littles to eat.
One of the things I thought would be good would be jello. And no I did not need to spend 4 dollars for the premade - goodness I could boil some water and get out a bowl.
Or maybe I can't........
You see I made the jello. But I was tired and I took a short cut which apparently was going to bite me in my behind the next day.
I don't have a teapot. I keep my cast oven pot on the stove instead. What am I using a teapot for? I don't drink tea and if I need water I have a microwave. I tell you this because of the first step in making jello - 1 cup boiling water....
Boiling? Does really hot water out of the tap not count? Apparently not.
Lets just say the orange jello I made was watery on the top and you would need a sharp - be that a very sharp - knife to cut whatever that mass was in the button. I tired to spoon some out in a bowl for Pickle and he was less than thrilled. The stuff at the bottom....not sure what that was. Kind of like a jelly fish on steroids.
Didn't matter when it all came down to it. Pickle wouldn't have anything to do with it - but then again can you blame him?
Oh well
Proud mother moment - probably not
Will I get the premade next time - probably not
Will I actually boil the water next time - hmmmmm lets hope so
As with all things......this too shall pass........
