Day After Thanksgiving (2020)

[lydamorehouse]

Thanksgiving was, of course, bittersweet. We had a good meal, the three of us, but we missed our usual visitors, the Jacksons.  However, we did take advantage of their absence to try something new. Behold, the Shimmering Pineapple Gelatin:

It was.... weirdly delicious? There was something about the tang of the lime jello that really makes the pineapple taste amazing?  I'm not sure why, but we loved it. (The recipe is linked to the title of the gelatin, above.) It was super fun to 'schlorp' it out of the can, although I managed to burn my yams (which I parboil and pan-fry with garlic and lime) while oooing and ahhhing over the process. Ah, well! It was worth it!

At any rate, we hung out with our friends on Zoom, which is not the same, but it was still very nice to see them. 

Now, my family is in full-on pajama mode. You wouldn't think we could be this excited (after months of the pandemic) not to have anywhere to go or anything to do, but we really, really ARE.

Wow that is something. I would never eat it but I'm impressed that you made it.

Well!

If you'd fill the center with cottage cheese, you'd have your grandmother's salad! Well, close anyway. ;-)

That jello concoction is a remarkable-looking object.

My sister-in-law likes to have the canned jellied version of cranberry sauce for holiday dinners, though she will also eat regular homemade cranberry sauce. We did not see her this year, but the schlorpping out of the can of the jellied cranberry sauce was always very satisfying to me. Less suspenseful, since there was less chance of things falling apart. But satisfying.
