*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***

Kiddies on the brain I’m all birthday’d out but never
too wiped out for some Jello. Who ever invented this
stuff? I do enjoy it best just as-is straight out of
the bowl but nice to have some dessert versions too.
Here is a colorful dessert recipe both kids and adults
will enjoy using that wonderfully jiggly invention
Jello.

Enjoy! Marzee

2 cups whipping cream

Crust:
2 dozen graham crackers
1/2 cup soft margarine

some of the crumb mixture, this will later be used as a

it starts to harden.

                  ODE TO JELL-O:

Did you know this is over 100 Years and Still the Coolest?

Over one hundred years ago, Jell-O was little more than a
brand name and an unfulfilled dream. Today, if placed end
to end, the 413,997,403 packages of Jell-O gelatin dessert
produced in a year would stretch three-fifths of the way
around the globe with plenty of room to spare.

More than 1,134,239 packages of Jell-O gelatin are purchased
or eaten every day. Today, the Jell-O brand is found on over
120 products encompassing everything from puddings, ready-to-
eat snacks, no bake desserts and yogurt.

Jell-O is a brand recognized by 99% of Americans and used
regularly in 72% of our homes.

In 1845, that inveterate industrialist, inventor and
philanthropist Peter Cooper, of Tom Thumb engine and Cooper
Union fame, obtained the first patent for a gelatin dessert.

And get this…during the early quarter of the 20th century,
immigrants entering Ellis Island, New York, were served
Jell-O gelatin as a “Welcome to America.”
