I?
I thought of initials, but went with ice cube trays. Yes, you can use them to organize stuff, but I am going to use them as a candy mold. This is not your ordinary candy-no. I am making Gummies out of Jello and if I succeeded-they will appear to look like Dots!
Do you like Dots?! What color is your favorite flavor? If you aren't a fan, what movie candy do you prefer?
Me, I like Black Crows and chocolate! Honestly I like it all~ lol
Here is the recipe:
l pkg of 3 oz Jello
3 package of Knox Gelatin
1 cup boiling water
Mix the Jello powder and Knox gelatin into a bowl. Add l cup of boiling water and stir well. Let it set for 10 minutes-I set my timer.
I used ice cube trays that looked like Dots. I sprayed them with a bit of spray oil.
When timer dings you will have half a cup of liquid. I usually use candy mold, but today I am recycling an ice cube tray.
Pour liquid in and place in the refrigerator to set. I think it take about 15-20 minutes. I used a knife and loosened them. They popped right out!
Lemon is a favorite at our house.
Today I am highlighting this blog:
Imaginary Garden with Real Toads was inspired by a poem by Marianne Moore.
Robert Lloyd from Poets United started this blog. Later, he passed the baton to Kerry. She has done a fabulous job pushing the boundaries of our garden, our poetry~ April is National Poetry month. Over in the Garden they are doing NaPoWriMo . I signed up to do crafting, before I knew of their challenge. Today, I am going to share a poem called Insight! It was a challenge offered to us by Izy! She asked for us to write a poem about a Document of Discussion. Thank you Kerry and Izy~

Comments
Clever idea with the Jello. Where do you find Knox Gelatin though?
Mama Zen-Sorry, I kinda felt ick after writing it and wondered should I post it?! I do think though we do need to listen to your intuitive voice-so I shared it! Yes, true story...my son's Senior year-it shook me to my core. We had to fly my Mom down to help us with our daughter. Hubby and I spent our evenings online trying to find answers...it was horrible! I still shake thinking about it~
Hannah-Thank you! I still look at him and worry when he gets sick~ It was difficult- xo to you! I'll take that wish...did you use yours?! ;D
Your dots look great. ☺
I'm glad you listened to your intuition.
We used to have little ice cube trays like that. I wonder if we still do?
He kept driving. She kept insisting.
By the time they stopped and found a phone booth, I was in the hospital.
I was okay, but my mother was frantic.
A fabulous write, and now I want some of those fridge gummies.
Luv, K
Quite a rollercoaster ride with the poem, glad things turned out OK.
I am so glad everything turned out well. I was on the edge of my seat, afraid.
Karen
I hope you will try to make them...
:D
