Another step back in time (Jell-o pt. 2)

When was the last time you had jell-o? Really? How about jell-o jigglers? Or the Jelly candies in the mini containers that you see in the Asian store? How about jell-o from a brass mold? For me, it was about 4 months ago at a local Vietnamese resturant, the jell-o (layered in green, and diamond shaped with a sword style toothpick) was "dessert" after a long meal with friends.

Hence why there have been no new updates from my kitchen. I hopefully will get a response by next week and will have several new dishes to try and show you.

Honey Basted Jerk Chicken Sweet Potato Everything Bread These are just two of the recipies that caught my eye. Please enjoy her blog while I deal with my kitchen crisis.
