My One-hundred-and-forty-eighth Post

I just made Jello cups.

I made them all on my very own without stealing them from invalids, or showing up at a little league soccer match, or conjuring them out of mid-air, or buying them. I did none of those things!

See, I've had this box of raspberry Jello forever: it just seemed like something good to have on hand. But every time I'm in the mood for Jello, I am NOT in the mood to wait four hours for Jello. But I finally made it this afternoon when I had the brilliant idea to split the Jello up into smaller containers so it would set up faster! Woo-hoo! (I was originally going to follow the fast set-up recipe, but we didn't have any ice.)

So in searching for appropriate containers, I happened to come across a bunch of little tupperware containers that I never use because they are too small to be practical (about 1/2 cup each). I mixed up the Jello, divided it among the little containers and popped them in the fridge. A few hours later, I had magical individual Jello cups...



...and a fridge shelf covered in Jello goo that had leaked. If you ever decide to try this, consider not putting the lids on until after the Jello has set up.

Also, substitute Sprite or 7UP for the cold water in the recipe. Your life'll never be the same.
