Think about this: Think of one food that you can find in a variety
of flavors, can be cut up into tiny little cubes, and jiggles like crazy
whenever movement is involved. I know for sure the first thing that comes to my
mind is Jello; it fits all of those categories that are listed above! Not only
is it a great food but also a unique word just to say out loud: J-E-L-L-O!

These enjoyable
little cubes can be used in several different occasions including celebrations.
Whenever there is a big get together going on at my grandma’s house, my mom usually
makes finger jello for the party; it’s such a great appetizer to munch on
before or after a meal. Depending on what time of year it is, my mom will make
jello into creatures. You’re probably thinking, “What is she talking about? Did
I read that correctly?” Yes, my mom does make them into special little images.
When she’s making the jello and it’s still in a liquid form, she pours them
into containers that can form 3D images when they harden. Some of the common ones
that she loves using especially around the holidays are themed ones like Halloween
decorations (cat, pumpkins, mummies, etc.), Christmas (Christmas trees,
snowmen, snowflakes, Christmas light bulbs, etc.), Valentine’s Day (plain
hearts, hearts with an arrow), St. Patrick’s Day (shamrocks), Easter (Easter
Eggs, bunnies), and 4th of July (flags, stars). You name a holiday,
and I bet there are containers out there that can make you even more festive
for the holiday. Although there are so many different styles to choose from,
sometimes the best ones to go with are the mixture of different colors but in
the original rectangular form.
Not only
is jello quick and easy to pack when in a hurry, but it’s always pretty slick
when it comes to making it. I would say it takes about 5 minutes to mix
everything altogether, but then wait about 3 hours for it to get just right.
You obviously don’t want your jello to get as hard as a rock, but you also don’t
want a slushy either. You want to make sure that it’s just right so you can get
the full effects of it.
One of
my favorite things to do with the jiggly piece of delight is throw it up in the
air and catch it with my mouth. (It’s a great opportunity to impress your
friends your amazing talents) It’s the perfect size to do it with and if you do
end up swallowing it whole (which I don’t really recommend) then it’ll just
slide down nice and easy; it won’t leave any scratches against your throat.
What can I say, if you’re going to munch on some jello cubes, you have to do it
in style!
