Tall, True or Twisted

“There are 7 levels of hell”, she said, “and I think one of them is reserved for people who bring jello salads to every potluck meal they attend.”









(from a collection of note cards from the 1990's)





Always looking forward, PJ

  1. Those olives look like beady eyes, staring out of the jelly.
    I have to admit that I went retro and made a creamy molded salad between Christmas and New Years - it was delicious!

  2. That Jello salad is just wicked cool!

    I love how the olives look like eyeballs....go figure!

    I am doing Blog catch up visits this morning :)

    Been thinking of you!

    Love,
    LuLu~*xoxo

  3. I wonder what we do today that will be derided in years to come and grant us a special level of hell? LOL! Dropped by to wish you a wonderful year ahead, PJ!

  4. I've never made a jello salad. Oh sure, I've put in some banana slices, or mandarin orange bits, but I've never gone full salad. Maybe this is my year.

  7. There was a time that they were a staple at every potluck, but then potlucks don't seem to happen as often these days. I needed Jello for something recently and had a hard time finding it in the store.

  8. I never really cared for Jello. Hubby does and keeps buying it, hoping that I'll get the hint. I must have 15 packages in my pantry!

  9. I was never a fan...ever.

  11. Not a fan of the jello salad. Luckily it was never a staple in family meals.

  12. We used to eat a lot of jello salads. I think it's a Mormon thing.

  13. Have you seen the one with the hot dogs in it? Horrid. Happy New Year, PJ!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Whoa, I have to say that looks so gross! And I actually do like some Jello salads! Not sure what would inspire the olive eyeball salad though...

    ReplyDelete
  15. Why someone would feel the need to pack their Jell-O so obscenely full of "stuff" is beyond me!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Oh I am laughing..thanks so much for the laugh...one level of hell saved for those who make jello...what is funny is I always felt that way when I went to my mother-in-laws...please don't tell.
    Too funny...great post

    ReplyDelete
  17. Funny. I love Jell-o but not with stuff in it.

    ReplyDelete
  18. It's a fact that you can not live in UT without eating Jello...the green kind...at any luncheon after a funeral. It's as homegrown as Funeral Potato's...mwahahaha!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Uh-oh, I'm in trouble cuz I always offer to bring Jello ;-) I grew up in it but I can honestly say that with all the crazy things my grandmother used to put in her, never once did I ever see green olives-- Thank gawd!

    Loved these ads, PJ-- and you too!

  20. Of course I had to take time to comment on this post...Hahahahaha! I am Lutheran and Lutheran's know 15,000 ways to serve Jell-O. I even remember a time when Jell-o came in "vegetable" flavors.....I loved the tomato. Yeah, me and Jell-O go waaaaay back! Thanks for the laugh today. Hope you're staying warm!
    xoxo

I love God, my family and friends, animals and, while I know I shouldn't love "things", I love my home. I'm not fond of the color pink unless it's the work of Mother Nature (apparently not a popular opinion in 'blog land'), I DESPISE whining, I won't allow beets anywhere in my home or garden, and I don't understand why humanity can't play nice and share. -->PS. This blog is not Switzerland; I'm neutral in nothing. :)
