Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: catspaw49 Date: 19 Jul 99 - 10:53 PM Nicely put Leej........I got myself in some hot water awhile back on calling what the English call scones, biscuits. Biscuits are cookies and scones are biscuits........somethin' or another. On the other hand........ Penny I do love "Toad in the Hole" with really GOOD sausage......and I can guarantee that we're the only family in a 25 mile radius that eats the stuff. Spaw |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Sourdough Date: 20 Jul 99 - 02:27 AM We serve a couple of things at our house that seem to cause a fe w folks to check on what is being served before they accept a dinner invitation. However, we never serve them to "outsiders". My wife is from Bavaria, a small village about 40 kilometers from Munich and she has a special menu. Strange thing is I have come to enjoy them. The first one of these she served was Liburger and boiled potatoes. It tastes surprisingly good but you have to store it inside three zip lock baggies in the house or else you will run the chance of smelling your living quarters with that special eye-watering odor that comes along with the Limburger. The second was Sour Liver. That is strips of cows' (not calves') liver cooked in a vinegar sauce. But she is open to other tastes. On a trip across the US, we stopped in Leadville, CO for dinner. I convinced her to try something that had what was, to her, the incomprehensible name of Chicken Fried Steak. It was love at first bite for her but Red Eye Gravy was too. She always opts for the white flour gravy. Sourdough |

From: bseed(charleskratz) Date: 20 Jul 99 - 04:39 AM I found this thread too late to post my favorite kind of jello--orange with mushrooms, anchovies, and kimchee--added after the jello has thickened but not quite set, Fadac; keeps the goodies from rising or sinking. --seed |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Clay Date: 20 Jul 99 - 06:33 AM And to think all I wanted was the real name of a song. Wish this group was arount 30 years back when my wife and I went to a pot luck with our small church group and absolutely everyone brought scalloped patotes.--actually happened. Any nervous pudding would have been welcomed. Clay |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: catspaw49 Date: 20 Jul 99 - 10:05 AM Barbara, We stopped doing "Bubble and Squeak" ...... WAY too much bubble and squeak later. And Clay, when I was a kid, I thought there was nothing finer than sscalloped 'taters. I was 5 and helping my Grandfather plant his garden; as we planted potatoes, someone asked what kind they were. I piped right up and said "Scalloped." I had some vision of these things coming up fully cooked in a casserole dish. 'Seed, I'm having a lot of second thoughts about all the wonderful things I believe about you. I'm about to have a technicolor yawn here......... Spaw |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Bert Date: 20 Jul 99 - 12:17 PM Well one thing that seems to have been overlooked in the Jelly/Jello discussion is that when you buy it in England it is in a different form. The packet looks the same as a packet of Jello, but inside it isn't a powder, it is a solid block of firm jelly that you can eat straight from the packet, just like candy. Great for a snack. Bert. |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Penny S. Date: 20 Jul 99 - 05:36 PM Not if it's veggie jelly, that's a powder. But it doesn't set as well. By the way, I thought you couldn't use pineapple in jelly as the enzymes stopped the set. Penny |
|
Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Penny S. Date: 20 Jul 99 - 05:38 PM I really must think things through completely. Bert, jelly cubes are now the nearest thing to Rowntrees fruit gums available. Nestle have changed the recipe completely. Penny |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: WyoWoman Date: 21 Jul 99 - 11:53 PM Penny-- You have to wait until it's almost set before you fold in the (very drained) pineapple chunks. I can't believe I"m giving instructions on Jello cuisine online. What has this world come to? >B-} WW |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Penny S. Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:21 AM Ah ha, I think the problem may have been with fresh pineapple. Saturday lunch will be pineapple jelly with S'mores on the side. Penny |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Night Owl Date: 22 Jul 99 - 02:54 AM Penny, can we all come if we only want to eat the S'mores?? |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Penny S. Date: 23 Jul 99 - 06:44 PM I now have the English Brownies (little Girl Scouts) S'mores version. Two chocolate digestive biscuits, chocolate sides inside, around the marshmallows. Do have have half-coated graham crackers? Actually, given the standard of the biscuit coating chocolate, I think I may well prefer the American. Trials are required. Which reminds me, I never completed the trials on sucking coffee through a Tim-Tam. (Aussie biscuits no longer on sale.) Penny |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Penny S. Date: 23 Jul 99 - 07:28 PM You may have read that I have been out. Clearly what I have imbibed has affected the balanced of left right hand typing, and word order. Do you have half-coated graham crackers is what I meant. You wouldn't believe the number of corrections I have had to do here. Penny |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Penny S. Date: 01 Aug 09 - 06:02 AM It may be a bit OTT to add to something which I seem to have monopolised rather, but there was a programme on the TV the other week about 1920's food, in which the fashion for things in aspic was mentioned. Apparently, it was the result of the development of patent foods, powdered gelatine among them, liberating cooks from the need to boil up and clarify their own hooves. They could do it, so they did. Without any consideration for whether the results were worth eating or not. I have no personal experience of these. There is a shop in London which sells Jello. I have resisted it so far, though this thread waves past when I go there. (For the Australian Cherry Ripes.) Penny |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: open mike Date: 01 Aug 09 - 02:25 PM marshmallows are a good companion to jello, as they are both made from horsie hooves...or something similar... although there is a "health food" marshmallow made from Agar agar. sometimes jello is made with less water, and this is used for crafts projects or food that can be cut and formed (with cookie cutters, for instance) http://www.cooks.com/rec/search/0,1-0,jello_jigglers,FF.html that is for the kids, but for big kids, they prefer adding alcohol --called jello shots--http://www.myscienceproject.org/j-shot-3.html also used as a medium for art... http://current.com/items/90416121_jello-shot-art-bill-cosby.htm |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Roger the Skiffler Date: 03 Aug 09 - 06:27 AM This is the version 'Er Indoors uses: Cucumber & Grape Salad 1 large cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced 1lb green grapes, washed, halved & seeded 15 fl oz water 5 oz packet lemon jelly (I use lime) 3 tablespoons orange juice 5 tablespoons lemon juice 1 tablespoon very finely chopped onion 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper Marinade 3 tablespoons olive oil 1 tablespoon wine vinegar ¼ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper ¼ teaspoon dry mustard To prepare the marinade: in a medium-sized bowl, combine the oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and mustard, beating with a fork until all the ingredients are blended. Place the cucumber slices and grapes in the bowl and marinate them for at least 30 minutes or until you are ready to use them. In a small saucepan, bring 5 fluid oz of water to the boil over moderate heat. Remove the pan from the heat and add the jelly. Stir until the jelly has dissolved. Stir in the remaining water. Stir in the orange and lemon juice, onion, cayenne, salt and pepper. Cool the jelly until it is almost set. With a slotted spoon, remove the grapes and cucumber slices from the marinade. Drain them thoroughly on kitchen paper towels and then add most of them to the jelly. (You can reserve the marinade and remaining grapes and cucumber to garnish the jelly when set.) Spoon the jelly into a 2½ pint mould. Cover the mould with clingfilm or foil and put it in the refrigerator to chill for 3 to 4 hours or until the jelly is completely set. RtS |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: Artful Codger Date: 03 Aug 09 - 01:49 PM Ahem, getting back to music (this is not supposed to be a BS thread), and the Bolcom song in particular...I remember hearing Joan Morris and William Bolcom perform this song (recitative) in a taped concert for PBS and later live. Jody Karin Applebaum has also recorded it on her albums Masterpieces of Cabaret and Serious Fun! (Have to say, I prefer Morris's renditions of the Bolcom cabaret songs and Marni Nixon's renditions of the Schönberg ones.) Although the Masterpieces liner notes include lyrics for most songs, it does not include them for this one. You can download the "Lime Jello" cut from Serious Fun! at Amazon.com. |

Subject: RE: Lime Jello Salad. From: PoppaGator Date: 03 Aug 09 - 03:08 PM "...I often use all caps in my personal lyric sheets because it is easier for my bad eyes to see..." According to scientific studies, anecdotal evident, and informed common sense, lower-case transcription (as well as standard caps-and-lowers) is MUCH more legible. Lowercase letters come in a wider variety of shapes and sizes ~ some with "ascenders" sticking up high, some with "descenders" below the baseline, etc. ~ and are thereby more easily distinguished from each other than are the capital letters, all of essentially the same size and shape. It is not unusual for people to make the unfounded assumption that "big" letters ~ caps ~ would be easier to read than lowercase, but it is simply not true, which you can easily demonstrate to yourself if you compare the same text printed out both ways and test them for readability. Also, if you type out your set of lyrics or whatever in caps-and-lowercase, you can probably fit the whole song on a page in a larger type size than in all-caps. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lime Jello Salad? / Lime Jell-O... From: keberoxu Date: 08 Sep 16 - 06:14 PM Ah, the golden days when William Bolcom and Joan Morris toured the land with their knock-out recitals. I believe both have now retired from university teaching (Ann Arbor, Mich., was it?) and maybe they don't tour like they did when I was a university student. I attended more than one of their evenings. This song was usually done near the end of the show. Much of its appeal is based on the shock value of hearing it the very first time. Once you have made the song's acquaintance, the experience changes completely. I learned the song well enough to use it for an audition -- passed it too. So now, when I hear "Lime Jello Marshmallow Cottage Cheese SURPRISE!!", I sit back, anticipating every sucker-punch in the lyrics, and watch the audience -- the newbies, anyway -- jumping about like marionettes on strings. Mr. Bolcom and Ms. Morris remarked, introducing the song one evening, that after several seasons of singing it, and having the song requested, and so on, people started cooking the stuff that was described in the song, and the statement from the stage was: "I believe we have now eaten every dish mentioned in this song. " This reminds me of the "Company" showstopper sung by Elaine Stritch: "Here's to the Ladies Who Lunch...." |
