Half a rainbow

Filed under: Food & Recipes 161

I had a vision. It was red and orange and yellow and green and blue and purple; a complete rainbow. In Jello!

… but the only flavors I had on hand were pineapple, orange and strawberry, so I figured why not anyway? It’ll be half a rainbow! Yellow, orange and red. So exciting.

I had it all planned out: boil water, mix in Jello mix, wait for it to set and cool before repeating the process over again twice. And it really didn’t take all that long. But when it was finally time for dessert, I realized that I missed something very important…

 

All that work and the layers didn’t stick. :( I was crushed. Saddened. I didn’t even know Jello could behave that way.

*Sigh. So much for my first rainbow… I do like that funny little yellow starfish-like thing though.

What I’ve been craving

Filed under: Food & Recipes 244

Milkshakes. Quick, awesome, creamy milkshakes.

I’ve been making these for years now, mostly going on intuition. It’s generally milk, ice cubes, chocolate-milk powder, sugar and a bit of coffee powder that go in the blender randomly – though I’m always cautious with sugar.

What makes a milkshake even better? Ice cream. Either top it with a scoop of vanilla or add in a couple when you’re blending. It makes for a lovely froth. I usually do both, a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream goes a long way in adding richness to a shake.

And if you’re feeling a little fancy, sprinkle chocolate powder/syrup and/or cinnamon on top for that little something extra.
