Grapes in lime Jello works, as do Mandarin orange sections in various flavors. But that's about it.

Dear Lord! You're scaring me.

When I was around five years old, Jello molds were all the rage. My Mother would make tuna fish jello molds. God were they gross. White jello with chunks of tuna floating in it...Barf.

Yuck! Closest I can get to anything in it is the fruit concoctions they made when I was in public school. Oddly that was one of my favorite side dishes(next to cheese sticks and the mashed potatoes before they started proportioning it out and putting the gravy on it ahead of time(which isn't my favorite at all, though I think i may have been the cause of the proportioning....what can I say those taters were good :lol; ). But yeah fruit in jello is a definite good thing

Agreed. This is one of my go-to dishes for a while. (Ruth Reichl's Gourmet cookbook has a great recipe for it.) My wife figured out a way to top it, however, and I have not made it in a while. (She does something that involves the blender, dried ancho chiles, and parchment paper. It is amazing, and I have not yet discovered her secret.)

It's a thing of beauty, isn't it? So cheap, healthy, tasty, and easy to prepare.

Now for any of you with a small garden, I can't stress enough how delicious pasta with tomatoes, basil, mozzarella, and a bit of olive oil is. It tastes like Summer. And the smell of home grown basil and tomatoes. Oh my.

Proper German dinner tonight. Bavarian loaf, fried eggs, kraut, spinach salad.

FULL OF WIN

Man, I so wanted to buy those at the store the other day. They were on sale, too! But no, the GF was all "We don't need that."

The limeade flavor ain't half bad. It's actually pretty good...I think I already ate half the container

I have a giant oregano bush and it's taking over the lawn, but it smells so good! Smells like spaghetti sauce every time I mow.

There was some mint that my mother had planted under the kitchen window at the house we were in when I was little. There was an apparent leak in the pipe to the grease trap in the yard that was also just off the kitchen window and when laundry was done, it would bubble a little bit right there. The mint loved it and grew great, but only in that spot.

So the same thing happened when I started having to mow. Lovely mint smell when going by the kitchen window.
