While I was making my Jello yesterday, I forgot how much water I had added. Did I only put in the two cups of hot water? Or, had I used the two cups of hot water and the two cups of cold water? If I had added both hot and cold and added cold again, I would have sloppy, half-firm Jello. If I had not added cold water and did not add it, I would have very firm! Jello. So, I had a decision to make. I ended up not adding more cold water. Consequently, I have very firm Jello.
Then, I was making Jello for Tommy. He hates bananas; I love bananas. Since I put five bananas in mine. I made one package for him, two for me because I like it more. I put in two cans of mixed fruit in his, one can of fruit cocktail in mine. Remember, I have lots of banana in mine.
I bought Red Delicious apples to peel and chop into the Jello salads. But, do you think I could find them? Noooo! Of course, when I had both made and set, I found the apples...sigh.
While I was looking in the car for apples, I found the sweater Tommy said he did not take with us yesterday. He refuses to plan for the weather getting cooler and maybe having wreck and having to stand out in the cold. He does carry small blankets. When I came inside, I asked him why he had a checkered shirt on the back floorboard, he questioned me about the color. He explained that after he showered yesterday, he put his dirty underwear in the bag under his rollator seat, forgot to take them out when he got to his dirty clothes. So, he found them while getting out at the church and using his rollator. He just threw them on the back floor of the car. Well, maybe you don't think so, but I thought that was funny.
Progress report:
I need to put hen in oven and bake pumpkin pies. Okay, I just put six chicken drumsticks in the oven. The hen will go in tomorrow morning. It will soon be so late that Tommy cannot see to get meat off bones of hen. He can eat chicken and drumsticks and sliced apple for dinner. Okay, he had drumsticks, applesauce, and English peas. And, I slept five hours. I got up after two hours and within ten minutes I went bck for another three hours. So, the hen will go into the oven early Thanksgiving morning. I am not worried since I do have things done and it all won't be left for Tday.
Thanksgiving Day--bake hen and make pumpkin pies. tada...feels good.
I never make deep dish pies, so both these will be regular pies. Pumpkin pies were always in a regular crust at home. Two crust pies were deep dish pies. Do you make thick or thin pumpkin pies?
Have you had any "mishaps" so far like my Jello problems?
