Publisher's Desk...
Hi
from Linda in Michigan. This issue is for Pat in Minden, NV. She asked in
the Discussion Forum if I could do an issue on Jell-O. I cracked up when I read
her request. I had just finished gathering the recipes and information for this
issue??¦on Jell-O. It seems that everyone likes Jell-O. (Except my brother-in-law
who tries to give it away at family dinners.) When I was in University of
Michigan Hospital for 6 weeks for physical rehab, I had access to a computer
that was internet connected. Every night I would log into a private chat room
with my buddies from all over the world. First question they asked? "What color
of Jell-O did you get tonight?" The recipes that I have posted here are taken
from "The Joys of Jell-O", ninth edition??¦.(no copy right date, I've had it
forever.), "Jell-O, Fun and Fabulous Recipes" copyright 1988, and, of course,
Duct Taped "Betty Crocker New Picture Cookbook". I hope you find a recipe to
your liking. I know Pat will.

Ramblings...
"Ode To Jell-O"
By Vance Lassey
If I could eat Jell-O all day long,
I d be a happy guy.
Living on Jell-O can't be wrong,
And without it I would cry.
I d like to eat Jell-O throughout the day,
Over studying and straining my neck.
I d like to get Jell-O as my pay,
Instead of a boring paycheck.
Jell-O has many forms-I love them all
Especially when topped with cool-whip.
It can be made right at home or bought at the mall,
And there s a recipe for jalape?±o Jell-O chip dip.
Jell-O makes me happy, maybe like a drug,
Plain Jell-O-made in my sink.
But some add hooch to it, and make it a slug
Ironic, don t you think?
I could eat Jell-O throughout the night,
I think Jell-O was in Mom s womb.
A world with no Jell-O- there s a fright.
That would bring imminent doom.
They say Vitamins are what you need,
If you don t want to die.
Since Jell-O has few, I m in trouble indeed,
And I wanted to say good-bye.
As I lay here, on my death bed,
I am a happy dude.
"Why?" you ask-"are you screwed in the head?"
Nope, Jell-O is Hospital food.

Did You Know?...
November is National Diabetes Month
Other JELL-O?® brand news.
JELL-O?® Brand is a member of the Kraft Diabetic Partnership, one of the many
Kraft brands dedicated to providing great tasting food and beverage ideas for
people living with diabetes. As part of our commitment to supporting people with
diabetes, JELL-O?® Brand is a proud sponsor of the American Diabetes Association
"America's Walk for Diabetes."
More than 17 million people in the United States have diabetes, but about
one-third of them have yet to be diagnosed with the disease. An additional 16
million people have pre-diabetes, an elevated blood glucose level. Diabetes is
caused when the body is unable to produce insulin (type 1 diabetes) or can't
properly use the insulin it produces (type 2 diabetes). Each day approximately
2,700 people learn that they have diabetes.
When you are diagnosed with diabetes, one of your first fears may be that you
have to give up many of the foods you love. However, according to new
guidelines, no food is completely off limits, and you won't have to sacrifice
taste either. By making smart food choices and keeping active, you can improve
your overall health today, as well as help prevent future complications of
diabetes. A registered dietician (RD) or certified diabetes educator can help
you understand how specific food choices and serving sizes can fit into your
personal meal plan.
Don't forget to visit the Kraft Diabetic Choices website where you can find all
the information you need to make healthy lifestyle choices. The website even
provides a personalized meal planner where you can find nutritionally-balanced,
carbohydrate-controlled meal plans each week that are designed and tailored to
meet your calorie needs

Making Recipes Special with Additions
Here's the scoop on the current theme:
Is there a recipe that you make extra special by using an unusual additional ingredient? As an example, I add evaporated milk and Velveeta to boxed macaroni to make it really tasty. Also, to my tuna and chicken salads, I add finely grated onions and jalapeno peppers. Yummy! Please send the entire recipe for each you would like to share. Also, add notes about which ingredient you feel makes it extra special!
A to Z Recipes continues with its popular Theme Issues. We will share theme recipes and post them on the first Sunday of each month.

The rules for recipe submissions for the monthly theme issues are the same as ALL recipes submitted for posting.
The rules are as follows:
As a service to your fellow readers, please send only recipes that are in a form that others could easily copy and save for their own use.

Crazy Corner...
I have an apology to make. After a couple of hours of searching, I could
only find two Jell-O jokes. One clean and one dirty. I have posted the clean
one. E-mail me if you want the dirty one!
Driver: "Hi, is your name Jell-O?"
Hitchhiker: "Uh... no..."
Driver: "Too bad... 'cause there's always room for Jell-O!"

Lime Jell-O
Did you ever notice how a saucer of lime Jell-O looks like a contact lens for an
octopus?
How do we really know that lime Jell-O isn't just cherry Jell-O that's not ripe
yet? Or grape Jell-O that's faded?
Protect yourself. Statistics show that nobody was ever murdered while eating
lime Jell-O. For making it, yes, but not while eating it.
I know that lime Jell-O must always be in great demand at the supermarket --
because you never see a sale on lime Jell-O.
Teach your neighborhood birds to break dance. Fill your bird bath with lime
Jell-O.
Did you ever wonder why they always serve you lime Jell-O when you're in the
hospital?
Because when you're sick you can't fight back.
Q: Why don't blondes eat Jell-O?
A: They can't figure out how to get two cups of water into those little
packages.

For Two...
I checked many sources for these recipes, but could not find any for two
people. The small box of Jell-O makes four servings. I would suggest dividing
the recipes into four individual bowls. That way you could be sure to get a
single serving each time.
(Maggie found one!)
JELL-O SMOOTHIE
8 ounces prepared Jell-O - any flavor
8 ounces milk
8 ounces sherbet - flavor should match the Jell-O flavor
Mix in a blender. Top with whipped cream and colored sugar, if desired. This
makes a great and easy beverage.
