what to do with all the leftovers

the solution is just waiting for you to discover

rest easy.

what’s the weirdest jello recipe you’ve ever been served?

was it considered:

a salad substitute?

“it’s as if we spend our entire lives avoiding Jell-O

but it is always there at the end, waiting.”

fruitcakes.

Standard

i came face to face with this colorful display

and was struck with a sudden terror

for i knew

 this was

a sure sign that

the fruitcakes were on their way.

 

“a sharp bolt of hunger hit luther hard. his knees almost buckled, his poker face almost grimaced. for two weeks now his sense of smell had been much keener, no doubt a side effect of a strict diet. maybe he got a whiff of mabel’s finest, he wasn’t sure, but a craving came over him. suddenly, he had to have something to eat. suddenly, he wanted to snatch the bag from kendall, rip open a package, and start gnawing on a fruitcake.”
John Grisham
