As I was trying to recall this dish of plenty, it occurred to me that I have no significant memory of this treat. I am racking my brain, trying to resurrect some sort of hidden horror. Nothing…what to do now? I decide to go ahead and write like it will come to me and during the creative process trigger some memory of my past to share with everyone. Still nothing…maybe this dish is so ghastly that my memory has been erased. Maybe this dish is so terrible that even my brain cannot withstand the amount of energy it will take to recollect my past. I do remember seeing this dish at many a picnic, graduation, pot luck dinner etc. Yet to my dismay, I cannot put the pieces together to spark that day or night. I am certain the day this dish hit my palate, it posed the worst combination of flavors known to mankind. The dish most likely re-shaped my palate at that very second, to what I surmise today as edible. This amalgamation of textures and flavors, not to mention the crossing of food group boundaries, which should never, ever be contained in the same bowl, was served proudly at many functions. Why did we do this to my generation? Or was it just me? I will share with you to decide. The dish I am speaking of is none other than Lime Jello with Vegetables. WTF! I need say nothing more:X

Jello with veges in it ... that was bad for sure! Just one teaspoon on the plate was all that was required in order to be able to get up from the table.
So, birthday boy (last week).... do you have any fond memories of what your family (mom) made you for your special day .... meal and dessert???? You might have covered this before, if so .... then what did you cook this year?
