If anyone but Kraft makes them they can't be called Jell-O or Kraft's lawyers will have another huge payday.
JELL-O SIMPLY GOOD is made with the good stuff like real fruit juice, vanilla bean, banana, cocoa and with no artificial flavors, dyes, or preservatives. AFAICS they're the only ones doing that. Their gelatin flavours are: Strawberry; Orange-Tangerine; Pineappple; and Mixed
Berry. (Blueberry, strawberry, yumberry*, and pomegranate)
* new name for Myrica rubra, also called yangmei, yamamomo, Chinese bayberry, Japanese bayberry, red bayberry, yumberry, waxberry, or
Chinese strawberry, is a subtropical tree grown for its sweet, crimson
to dark purple-red, edible fruit. (from the Wiki - I had to look it
up)
I'm not a huge fan of Jell-O desserts - except maybe a pie made with Jell-O chocolate pudding as the filling. But, this would be a neat
deal for a kid's party .... or at our advancing years a grandkid's
party.

I can see where they would work but I'd rather stick with one kind

I'll probably have you pick up the peaches so they can be just the
right ripeness. Really ripe, not quite to the point of over ripe/rotten gives a good sweetness to it. I don't want to get some down here that would be over ripe or not quite ripe enough by the time we had to leave for NY.

That's why sometimes I'll use the back door (only 3 steps) instead of
the front one (7 or 8 steps). It means a slightly longer walk to the camper but less of a bend to the knee walking vs steps.
Don't know, we were pleasantly surprised to see the brand name
on the all natural strawberry and mixed berry packages.
Natural is making a comeback... ;)
In limited circles, but better than none.
True... and perhaps in spreading circles... :)
Seems like the late 60s/early 70s is making a come back, enhanced by
new technology and more consumer awareness.
As I said... the circles of awareness are spreading... more people are
seeing natural as not only a good thing but as a desired thing... :)
Something we've known for quite some time now. (G)
If it gives just a bit when you press in near the stem end, it's
almost ripe enough. If it doesn't give at all, leave it. If it
gives too much, leave it.
It's the figuring out the line between ripe and too ripe I'm not
sure on....
Better to go a tad under ripe if you get them on Tuesday or so. If you
waited until Thursday, shade on the ripe side.
I mentioned it to Lydia... she might go to the Public Market and get
some in bulk, so that she has some for her putting up... and let us
have some for the picnic's use.... ;)
That would work. I'll still plan to bring stuff for a cobbler if there
are extra peaches. (G)
It was an inexpensive dessert that could be stretched to feed a
large family. Mom would make a large size (maybe 2) box in a
13 x 9 pan, add the fruit and usually stretch it for 3 meals.
I don't remember how far jello got stretched... maybe only made
for the one meal, rather than have it sit in the fridge.... :)
Sometimes Mom would make it in individual cups but those were for only
one meal--supper time dessert. Those would be generally without fruit.
I don't remember making it in individual cups... maybe once in a great
while, I suppose... :) It was generally just in one big bowl, and
portions got scooped out... ;)
My mom did it in a 13 x 9 pan and cut the portions into squares or rectangles. Easier to get more accurate portioning--no "his piece is bigger than mine" sort of reasoning.
Otherwise, it's one pan easy for me.
Yeah... me, too... :) And I'd likely not even consider a
fancy dinner party in the first place... :)
I've done a few but more often they're basic ones--spaghetti,
garlic bread and salad with a light dessert.
Like you'd do for LG... ;)
Pretty much so, or VT cooking. While we were in Savannah, we were
discussing lamb with some of our church friends who had never had
it. So, one night I cooked Italian style lamb shanks, orzo and
forget what else, possibly broccoli, plus dessert. Fancy dinner
party followed by a few rounds of dominoes.
Fanciest cooking I've done for a "party" was probably on the
Thanksgiving Day turkey meal (or equivalent), and that's usually a
joint effort anyway... ;)
Today for LG we did chili dogs with cheese (found a great chili at
Sam's and ater sampling it, went for it on buns. Also had a broccoli crunch salad and assorted chip. Dessert was Toll House cookie ice cream sandwiches. Easy do and went over big!

Good reason to make sure you use the brace, then...
Trying to remember to use it more, succeeding about 50% of the time.
And probably most of that other 50% of the time, it reminds you that
you should have been wearing the brace....
Got there with just minor stuff left home, nothing that was
urgently needed. Also helps to have grocery stores/W-M type
readily available for supplies. (G)
Given the circumstances, I'd say that was quite good going... :)
And yes, having stores available makes things easier.... :)
Hit up Kroger a couple of times already for groceries. Should be able
to get back to NC with the stock on hand, then shop in town/farmer's market to fill in the holes.
Sounds good.. :)
In time, looks like Edith is getting the hang of things now.
She's getting there... :)
It is quite the learning curve at first if you're not used to
such things. I think it helped also to meet some others so she
can put names and faces with a few of us (and us with her)
initially.
Yup, she already can feel at home with the group, just has to

Steve was, more so than me but he had me take over reading this echo

Then he found the Crafting which split into
one for sewing/quilting and another for cross stitch. The latter had
some difficulties so folded first, then as the internet groups got
going, the other 2 were absorbed into that. Since I do limited internet use, I just stayed with the Cooking echo.

Takes about 2-3 minutes to put it on, tighten the straps, etc.
So that's not all that conducive to putting it on and taking it off between standing and sitting....
It's the lighter weight of the 2 braces I have; the other is a
straight pull on/off but is a more rigid support.
Is your lighter weight one the lightest weight available....?
Saw that you'd made the pumpkin roll... :) Happy Birthday,
Steve (just a bit behind in my replyings)... :) I expect
that the roll was tasty as usual... :)
It's gone! Made it with roasted pumpkin (had some in the
freezer) and black walnuts we'd picked up at the Mennonite
store in PA. A bit different, but good.
Does indeed sound good... :)
While it lasted, it was. (G)
Might you make another the same way, should you decide to
take one down to FL for Christmas....?
Can't unless we buy/roast another pumpkin. I've got some unroasted in
the freezer I'll use instead.
Ah... It'll be closer to Mom's recipe that way, anyhow, yes...?
Very good! I'm trying to figure out the exact site now. (G)
And have you.....? ;)
Not yet. Saw that they're going to build one in Chapel Hill
also--a notice in the paper that the store will be a bit smaller
than originally planned, but still good sized. That will be 5
stores in the Raleigh/Wake Forest/Cary/Chapel Hill area in the
next about 3 years.
Which is pretty much what our friend Sallye from Wegmans had
told us... she didn't have specific locations, but knew about
the 5 stores planned for the greater Raleigh area....
We're eagerly awaiting them. (G)
I'm sure you are, indeed... :)

the knee... have you tried doing the prep work sitting at the
table...?
Can't get the angle I need for some of the cutting if I'm
sitting but will sit, if needs be.
Guess it's what you are used to doing, too, that makes a
difference in how you'd approach it....
Very true; I've done my "chop, chop" for years standing.
And I've done some standing, some propped against a stool, some
sitting at the table... so sitting at the table feels ok to me,
at least for most of it... :)
I really needed the force to open a butternut squash the other day. A sitting angle would not have given me what I needed.
Got it open, roasted it in the oven with some sweet and white
potatoes for meals to come.
Was on my feet with it unbraced for an hour or so
today--feeling the hurt but so far, not as bad as some days. It
may hit me later.
Probably.... sounds like you should have used the brace....
I know, should have, but didn't. Finding out that up and down
between the sewing machine and ironing station isn't good for
the knee either, but have to get the quilt done.
How long does it take to put on or off the brace....? I
wonder if there might be an even lighter-weight brace that
would be ok when sitting, for situations like that....?
Takes about 2-3 minutes to put it on, tighten the straps, etc.

Back when I had the initial injury, even knee replacements weren't as
good as they are now so I'm glad it waited this long to go out on me.

It's more the amount of cutting that affects the wrists than

freezing ends up making the bag messy enough that I'll just
toss it, and not try to reuse it... :)
Depends on what it is--both the meat loaf and pizza crusts were
wrapped in plastic wrap before being bagged. The potatoes I
baked, then froze went into the bag loose.
I'm generally freezing meats in the bags... bought in somewhat
bulk and repackaged in freezer bags to keep them longer, in
meal-appropriate amounts... :)
I'm doing that also, but quite often doing meats in the sealer.

We're on, I think our 3rd iteration. Started with a basic one, years
