I pride myself on being open to eating anything. But that lemon thing looks foul.

Don’t get me started! During college summers I worked as a cook at a summer camp, and the first year my official job title was “Salad Girl” (it was 1973…) and yes indeed, I had to make plenty of JELL-O “salads”. Orange JELL-O with shredded carrots and canned crushed pineapple. Various JELL-Os with canned fruit cocktail. Some with marshmallows and mayonnaise.

Also: I can’t decide if your second picture really should be in the horticultural topic, or the pets and animals topic…:thinking:…unless you’re planning to put the bird in your JELL-O?

I’d be willing to bet the Japanese could make that work. Kewpie mayo with kanten might be a neat experiment.

Went to a lab to test my cholesterol. Teated myself to a great snack for being good.

Cholesterol…piroshki…cholesterol…piroshki…

But then, carrot sticks wouldn’t have seemed like much of a treat!

Has anyone seen any funny recipes based on that ridiculous Dr.Oz “crudités/inflation” video?
They’d have to include asparagus, salsa, guacamole, a metric ton of carrots,…I think that was it?
Tequila is the bonus ingredient.
You know me, so my mind went directly to some kind of disgusting, tequila-based aspic concoction, but I haven’t found anything at all recipe-related online yet.
If you have, please share!

I know you know your cooking chemistry well enough to know you’re not going to get an aspic that gels if it includes tequila!

Made up drink
1oz Tito’s vodka
1oz St. Germain
Ice
6oz of SoCo double ginger beer

Pretty good! Though I love ginger beer and St. Germain. Might be a bit much for someone else. Flowery and gingery

If it includes enough tequila, no one will care!

Nah, it’s a known variant of the Mule. Yummy, though!

Sometimes you just need someone else make Ham and cheese and a cuppa coffee. Tartines San Francisco.
