My wife needed cheering up so I surprised her tonight with home made vodka jellys
and the recent rubbish "St Trinian's" remake..

plan worked .. success !!!

Recipe I followed was 1/4 pint vodka to 1/2 pint water..



3 pints of jelly was enough for one 90 min movie

Oddly enough we don't feel too sick ???

Next time we might try sucking it up through a straw ???



Jelly is quite interesting:

apparently Tom Lehrer liked vodka jello..



My earliest memories of it - 50 years ago served up as a treat at Council Estate kiddies birthday parties;
and the local Factory Xmas do for shop floor wage slaves young childeren [ie me]

Was there ever a social stigma about jelly, or has it always been popular
right across all social classes...???


Perhaps I should have titled this thread..

"The Social and Cultural History of Jelly" - anyone done a PHD on it ?????

oh well, wifes gone cheerfully to bed, and I've got rest of a bottle of vodka and a computer keyboard... and it's only 2.45am..

wish i had some cider...
