Midwestern Food

[kaitou]

Yesterday I went to the store to buy Draino and Cat Food, when I was seized with the sudden craving for strawberry pie. Not like, pie with real strawberries and things, but a proper midwest pie created entirely from jello and cool whip. I'd never made one before, but how hard can it be? You mix cool whip into jello before it solidifies and stick it in a graham cracker crust.

Luckily for me I'm not a member of Top Gear, so when I say things like 'How hard can it be?' it actually does turn out to be easy.

And it turned out pretty good too. So now all I can think of is what other flavors I could try. I mean have you SEEN how many jellos there are? And then I was thinking of the Japanese-style Coffee gelatin I make sometimes. AND what if I combined it with chocolate coolwhip? It would be like, a poor man's mocha silk pie!

I can't wait to try it!

We made that kind of pie more often with instant pudding than with gelatin. I'm particularly fond of chocolate pudding and Heath bar bits.

OMG that sounds good. I will never be thin because my sweet tooth is more like, my entire jaw.

Know what's even more awesome than strawberry pie? Putting some tequila and lime in it and making strawberry margarita pie.

I'm not real fond of strawberry margaritas, but that still sounds reaaally good. Ooh, and looking at the jello site they have margarita jello!
