Totally better than onions.

I drew a great assignment for tomorrow's potluck here at work.

Green Jello!

This could be fun. I think I'll make jigglers just for an excuse to use my new cookie cutters.

The cool part is that I don't think the green jello will have any side effects, such as convincing my neighbors I'm insane, like that whole onion incident. Wait, maybe that's the sad part. Maybe I'll use up the leftover halloween candy, all those gummy fingers and ears, throw those in the jello, and leave some for the neighbors. I have a reputation to maintain now.

But seriously. Anybody got ideas on how to jazz it up a bit?

Maybe make it with vodka and not warn anybody? Maybe bring it in a giant tub and see if anyone wants to wrestle?



I found this picture while looking for jello recipes, and it slays me.
But again, back to my point.
Any ideas on how to make it more St. Patrick's Day-ish?

Yummmmmmmm.

I'm a big fan of quick and easy soups (see also Avocado Soup) and last night while trying to use up some leftover rice that was getting dry, I stumbled across this.

Take on packet of onion soup mix, the sort you usually mix with sour cream to make dip, and add it to a few cups of boiling water. Next add the cooked rice, and then add (canned, frozen or fresh) corn and black beans. Simmer until warm, then serve with a crisp bread or tortilla chips.

(You can also make this entire thing in the microwave, if you want.)
