Always room for Jello
If you can make it

My family left for a week or so last friday, leaving me at home with the menagerie. That's all good, but where it gets odd is that my mom told me to eat the jello. Which is fine, I like jello. But I've been having some difficulty handling the task.
We had about a dozen boxes of jello when they left. Putting the two cranberry ones back in the cupboard (because I don't like cranberries) that left me plenty of jello to make (and then eat
). First batch I made was great, mixed the powdery stuff with water and then more water, followed by waiting. Came out nice and semisolid, with a thin layer of leathery jello at the bottom. Yummy yummy
The next four batches have not come out very well. I get a layer of flavored watery slush, and a layer of mostly solid gelatin gunk. Does not eat well, first part won't stay on the spoon, second might as well be rubber.
Directions are simple enough: Add powdery stuff from packet to one cup boiling water, mix for two minutes, add one cup cold water, stick in refridgerator, wait. Yet four out of five times those directions are too complicated for me. I've tried stiring more, less, hoter water, colder water, apparently I'm just jello inept.
Guess it's a good thing my diet does not rely on jello
PS We need a cooking category
