Jell-O...delicious and nutritious

Andrea and i were talking tonight and she was saying how she hates Jell-O. i think it stems from all of the time she spends in the hospital and in surgery. i mean, two major surgeries in less than two years can turn anyone off to anything even remotely related to a hospital.

so, she's looking for something to eat for dinner and comes across some boxes of Jell-O and is about the throw them out. before she does, she notices that on the side of the box that there are tips for spicing up your Jell-O. it says, "To add fruit or vegetables..." Vegetables? who the hell eats Jell-O with vegetables? the worst part is not the use of vegetables, but the specification for preparing it with canned vegetables. that's some nasty shit. ummm, a can of creamed corn and peach Jell-O.

we're laughing about it and decided to come up with our own combinations on those hot summer days when you just want to cool down...and, apparently, vomit.

passion fruit okra
