Oh it counts. You’re doing the Lord’s work. 🙏

tamal3 ,

Wow, do parents take shots at your door? This is not the Halloween I remember, but good on you.

@originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

ha, yeah, 1 per person! and its jello.. its candy-adjacent

tamal3 ,

Yes, but there’s also vodka involved haha do you live in mostly single-family suburbs?

correct

MimicJar ,

We made some for the 4th. It’s not common but for parties? Everyone loves Jello Shots.

I keep some in the medicine cabinet. Gelatin can make a nice throat coating when you have a bad cough.

RememberTheApollo_ ,

Do you eat it dry?!

Matriks404 ,

I don’t even know what that is.

I_Fart_Glitter ,

I have a family tradition of making rainbow jello for Easter. Each color layer gets a thin layer of sweetened condensed milk jello in between to make the colors really pop when it is sliced. It’s so pretty. It takes all day. It’s one of my favorite things about Easter.

I also make it pretty regularly because I eat gelatin as a nutritional supplement that does seem to help my joint pain a bit. For that I use unflavored fish and beef gelatin and mix it with tart cherry juice in pint jars and chill it or mix it with hot tea or chicken broth.

Wow your second paragraph may have just solved my jello resistance, thanks! You almost lost me at fish and beef tho 😅

I_Fart_Glitter ,

Ha. Sorry. For beginners using unflavored gelatin I would recommend the Knox brand packets that are sold next to the regular Jello boxes. They are highly refined and don’t have any um… surprising smells… ? The big 2lb jars of unflavored supplement gelatin can be a bit strong when you first add boiling water, but it goes away entirely once it is set in the fridge or dissolved in tea. I could see that putting someone entirely off jello if they were already iffy.

My very favorite is mulberry juice jello, but the only place that sold mulberry juice near me stopped carrying it a couple years back. It’s on amazon, but I can’t bring myself to buy juice on amazon. Tart cherry is a good sub. www.amazon.com/…/B00J49VLMO/

Thanks! I was a little nervous at the thought of beef jello but I'll try the Knox brand first. Two pounds sounds like a lot but what do I know? I'm gonna try coconut 😋

I was a little nervous at the thought of beef jello

Ever had any braised beef dish? Or a really good beef soup?

rhythmisaprancer ,
@rhythmisaprancer@moist.catsweat.com avatar

You know, now that you mention it, I have had some kind of gelatinous fish preparation, and it was pretty good! I didn't eat it cold, but I do eat cold fish. I'm not sure about braised beef ( very likely) and I have had beef stew if that counts?

grue ,

For that I use unflavored fish and beef gelatin

If that counts, then I made some just a couple days ago as a by-product of my carnitas.

I_Fart_Glitter ,

I make “chicken jello” for the cats on a weekly basis. It’s their favorite.

I make it at least once every two months when I make chicken soup (I use Adam Ragusea’s whole chicken recipe, the soup is like 90% gelatin)

SpaghettiYeti ,

Like a month ago. I made a jello chocolate fudge pudding pie with graham cracker crust and whipped cream. It was delicious.

Soku ,

Chocolate fudge pudding pie… that’s a dessert that just keeps on giving, I’d be so over that

tamal3 ,

Over it, or all over it? Those mean opposite things bc English is wack.

Soku ,

All over it, non native English speaker who loves chocolate

Yeller_king ,

Never made it. My wife buys sugar free jello cups sometimes for dessert.

Hikermick ,

I make dog treats out of jello by adding chicken stock regularly. The stock comes from boiling rotisserie chicken leftovers. It costs about a dollar per batch. My dogs love it and it’s good for them

spacemanspiffy ,

I dig your jam

Kit ,

That’s an amazing idea that I’m going to steal

Hikermick ,

Help yourself, your pets will love you for it. A couple of tips if you don’t mind: I boil the rotisserie chicken carcass (or any kind of meat and bones) for 10 hours on very low heat and covered. It takes that long to extract nutrients. You can use canned stuff but it’s full of salt. I pour the whole thing into a pie tin (with gelatin) and sprinkle molasses yeast flakes on top. You can find this at health food stores. It’s got lots of nutritional benefits and if your pet ever suffers from a lack of appetite a little on top of their food may help. A little bit goes a long way. Bon appetit!

Drusas ,

A couple of years ago. Jell-O is useful when you have to go on a liquid diet.

Unfortunately, jello requires violence and cruelty towards animals, and this is not acceptable to me.

jerkface ,
@jerkface@lemmy.ca avatar

Downvoters: “Violence and cruelty are acceptable when jello is involved.”

rbesfe ,

Violence and cruelty towards farm animals is always acceptable

jerkface ,
@jerkface@lemmy.ca avatar

“Always acceptable” can only be interpreted to mean in any amount, for any reason. That’s clearly sadistic and disturbed were it to reflect your true feelings. It’s the sort of nonsense a person says to themself when they refuse to allow themself to think rationally about a subject and actually reflect on their true feelings.

The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection.

rbesfe ,

Animals are not morally equivalent to humans in my opinion, and morality is not rational.

You choose to draw the line around a select group of animals, I choose to draw it around humans only. Both are valid worldviews.

FeelzGoodMan420 ,

Never because it’s gross and tastes like shit.

bear ,

Never. Pudding, custard, and mousse, occasionally.

@KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml avatar

It’s been a while tbh now if it’s pudding…

bionicjoey ,

Probably not since I was less than 10. I’m almost 30 now. I should really make some Jell-O

Anamnesis ,

Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.

Adincar ,

They make vegan jelly (or jello) nowadays, don’t feel like you can’t have fun any more!

myster0n ,

Look up agar agar : it’s a gelatin substitute made from algae

ASeriesOfPoorChoices ,

semi-regularly in summer. It’s fairly refreshing.

I briefly added fruit, ala 1950s, but I prefer without. Occasionally with wHipped cream, but that takes effort since I don’t like the garbage that the spray cans create. (whipped cream, sugar and an electric mixer).

1 box makes ~750ml / “one fifth”, which is enough for 3 snacks, imo.

The issue is the amount of sugar in them (and the whipped cream). Using sugar-free versions is good.

Using a whipped cream maker, with NO2 canisters for some calorie-free sweetness, is nice.
