Jello In A Whole New Way

Jello has come a long way. A fruity desert that everyone loves, it's acquired a whole new following among the younger crowd. The reason for the newfound love for this gelatin dessert has a great deal to do with a new set of uses that seem to be crowd-pleasers. Jello has undergone a metamorphosis from a dessert to a drink that people seem to go wild for.

Well, the reality is a sort-of, drink. In most cases, the gelatin dessert is laden with beverages of several kinds and then frozen or gelled. It is typically eaten with a spoon and the different types of attributes remain intact in the jello dessert.

JELLO

One such gelatin recipe is known as Tiddley Jello. The principle behind all of these gelatin based desserts is that you must add some measure of alcohol to the gelatin and not overdo the other content. Substituting even a juice that is made to taste like a coconut or another drink you like for a certain percentage of the water in the gelatin is a very popular way to make jello now.

Most people boil half the water that the jello calls for and then dissolve the jello using the boiling water. they then permit it to cool below boiling temperature and then add the other half of the liquid, using juice or drink rather than water for the second half of the liquid.

The trick is that you need to keep the level of the other ingredients down to a reasonable amount. If the drink you are adding is very thick or very flavored, you do not want to use more than 1/4 cup of that variety in the jello.

Some flavors just naturally enhance each other. You can experiment and find those that impress you or your guests, but some things will truly be favorites. Gelatin that is cherry flavored seems to naturally impart a pleasing flavor when combined with brandy-flavored drinks. Peach or orange with a Kentucky type drink also seems to be a good mingling of flavors. Likewise you will be in love with orange or raspberry and orange juice or orange flavored drinks. Using orange soda to make the drink is a very positive way to get your jello a little sparkle.

Other favorites that people seem to really enjoy are lime jello and which is placed in a drink glass to harden. Encrust the rim of the glass with salt and the dessert that you create is elegant and interesting. Pina colada flavoring added along with appropriate other liquids in equal parts can make a tropical paradise out of your back yard party.

The types of gelatin desserts which impart just a little kick to them are endless. Bear in mind that the desserts may also have fresh fruit inserted into them and be topped with a light topping of whipping cream to add just a touch of elegance to them. Many of these treats are frozen into small icicles with sticks or toothpicks inserted for easy handling on a summer day. Please keep it in mind that regular juices and jello beverages do not refresh the body and drink them sparingly when the summer heat is in full swing.

Fly Fishing For Big Trout in Michigan

After the last of the ice has thawed and before the starting of major inset activity, a narrow window of opening exists for the fly angler to tempt huge brown trout with large streamers. Here in our part of the country, the Midwest, this is normally during late May and early June.

As water temperatures begin increasing, so does the activity of the fish. When they emerge from their winter lethargy of low metabolism, they're hungry and ready to eat. Smaller baitfish swimming near the river bank and shallows resume active feeding as well. They too are foraging, finding for anything and all that might offer nourishment. The occasional subsurface eruption is a tell-tale signal that one has just met a swift, piscivorous end.

JELLO SHOT RECIPES

One thing you can approximately always count on during this time of year is a fast tantalizing weather front. Thunderstorms can come on fast and wreak havoc if you're not prepared. For this reason, I take advantage of the internet and the Weather Channel to help me select fishing days least likely to be affected by weather. Despite all the forecasting in the world, sometimes I can still find myself in a precarious situation.

One day is seared into my memory and not likely to dissipate any time soon. I was out with friend and fellow streamer freak Brad Turner during springtime a whole of years back. We weren't on the water for half an hour before a fast tantalizing weather front came in. A whole of lightning bolts touching ground too close for our relax drove us under cover. With our graphite rods judiciously settled against a tree yards away, we were set to wait it out. Rolling thunder turned into a loud Crack that sounded like big-game rifle being fired right next to us. Having been caught in more than a few storms over the last 30 years, I've seen them come and go, but it's impossible to be ready for that blinding streak of silver from above. This one nearly required a change of britches ! It did pass, but not before giving us an predicted light show and display of the power that mother nature has inexpressive in those clouds above.

Big Trout Condos

Big trout like to live where they feel safe. They also like to eat feed not too far from customary surroundings.

Brush piles, downed trees, uprooted stumps, logjams, old docks, manmade stream improvements and deeply undercut, heavily rooted banks all qualify as home-sweet-home to an old, hook-jawed brown trout.

Occupying some of the heaviest cover the river has to offer, he doesn't make himself easy to get at. When in quest of food, he will venture from the relax of buildings to spots in the river where a feeding channel is close, but never more than a tail-kick away from the lumber and his safely zone. His home habitat is as customary to him as your favorite living room recliner is to you. He knows exactly where he is and how to fast get back to safety should the need arise.

Although such large trout may move to and from their beloved lies for feeding purposes, once a dominant fish finds a comfortable location to call home, he is not likely to give it up to a subordinate fish. Work log jams with the most suitable finding surroundings. Continued depth downstream from a piling or a nice cut in the river bottom at the edge of the jam where current speeds come together below the buildings and generate a nice seam for fish to conveniently sit in. Oven overhanging branches from a neighboring tree that casts a shadow on the hole or run. Be deliberate and suitable in working these deep, dark, promising places.

One such location proved fruitful on a late May day combine years ago. With an arsenal of rods, fly boxes, a cooler of Mountain Dew and submarine sandwiches, Tommy and I set out for an additional one day of streamer fishing. No long into the day we came upon a likely finding run. I was on the oars. With a combine of casts toward the front of an ominous jam, followed by one down the gut, Tommy's line went taut before he could yell, "Fish On !" The battle between man and beast was beautiful, each having its way with the other at separate times during the tussle. I dropped anchor and hopped out of the boat, intent on getting downstream from the fish. With symphonic precision, Tommy worked the fish over a sand-bar shelf. I move in with the net and ---in the bag ! After we caught our breath, out came the camera and tape; 24 inches of hooked-jawed majesty. One look at his elongated snout and his mouthful of teeth and we named him "The Gator".

Another episode three years ago will not soon be forgotten. Only after casting farther and working line deeper in a run called "Kestners Corner" on the illustrious Pere Marquette rivers in western Michigan, did I find the sweet spot of this particular run. Sweet for the fish, but not for me and this one will remain a mystery. With friend Adam on the oars, I diligently worked tandem flies in and around various obstacles in this short S-bend of logs, stumps and boulders. Adam pumped the oars a combine times to set me up for the prime spot in the run. I measured the cast and sent my flies toward the jam. I had barely gotten my line under a finger to start stripping it back and out he came....Bang A short but swift hook-set and the battle was on. The heavy-shouldered golden brute made a dash for the wood, but with a downstream sweep of my rod, I kept him from reaching the lumber. He made an additional one run for cover, but an additional one rod turn and he was clear of danger. Luck was on my side.....I thought. His last run was downstream into fast, choppy water. I felt him tire, Adam was there with net in hand and ready. With a combine more turns of the reel, I was ready to bring him up. As he came to the surface, he revealed himself, "Big fish". an additional one burst of energy put him just out of the nets reach. My attempt to bring him back toward us ended with him splashing frantically at the covering nearly next to the boat and next thing I see.......pop, there goes the hook and one predicted fish.

Gearing up for the Big Boys

He's not your median trout. Leave your 4 and 5 weight fly rods at home. Casting full sinking or heavy sink-tip lines with oversized streamers requires greater physical compel and persistence. A 7 or 8 weight, medium to fast activity rods, measuring 8 ½ to 10 feet will deliver your offering the best. Properly balanced, such rods are light sufficient to allow for sustained casting throughout the day, yet have the backbone to pull a big fish out of, or away from, heavy cover and buildings during a dog fight such as this.

I recall a battle with a plump, feisty female brown trout with more speed than is often linked with large, lumber-hunkering browns. With the umpteenth cast of my 10 foot, 7 weight rod rigged with 250 grain sinking line in long deep runs, my fingers started to get number. Despite the fatigue, my cast landed between a boil from a submerged stump and a series of crisscrossed logs in a town river trough. between strips of my streamer, the line jumped and I was off to the races with this butterscotch beauty.

After a run of 30-40 feet downstream, most of which was less than two feet below the surface, she reversed direction with just as much vigor and was back in front of us in no time. When she made her turn close to the boat, I could see the profile and knew this was no small trout. After negotiating a few more runs around the surrounding logs, she was safely resting in the soft mesh of the net. With a short, narrow nose and an opal blue dot behind her eye, she lit up in the midday sun, all 2 foot of her.

This pace of activity can down right tire you out. It's a good idea to take an occasional break to subdue the definite fatigue that will set in during a full day of "big boy" streamer fishing. If you're too tired and not paying attention, you could end up casting a rather pricey rod/reel combo right into the river. However, with some patience and custom with your timing, such fishing can be very rewarding.

Different fishing situations call for the use of sinking or sink tip lines of differing lengths and weight. If wade fishing, I might opt for a sink-tip of 8-14 feet in length, in a 250-300 grain weight. Being able to mend the back measure of the fly line will allow you to work the bottom two-thirds of the water column.

Leaders are important, but not nearly as requisite as they are for dry fly fishing. My typical streamer leader is about 3-5 feet, depending on water clarity and tapered down to 8-15 pound test. In other words, I let the river guide me......sounds odd! If the water is off color, I will growth pound compel of tippet and decrease it if water is low and/or clear. When tying fly to tippet with a suitable improved clinch or Duncan Loop knot, it's helpful to balance the line compel and diameter with "How" the fly acts in the water. Specifically, how does it look in the water based on the stiffness of both high/low pound test tippet material? I will use a Rapala knot or Perfection loop knot when tying on larger streamers. With an open loop type knot, it allows the fly/flies to "bob and weave" straight through the water in an erratic manner which often elicits vicious strikes.

Two years ago Marc Kiekenapp and I found ourselves drifting unknowingly close to one too many log jams and he got snagged up. I rowed over to it, he stripped extra line in to bring the snagged fly right to the rod tip to try and free it from the lumber....Snap !....Marc's four piece rod was not a five piece. More than one rod has fallen victim to big streamer fishing. Overhanging branches, strong hooks sets and strong tippet can be a recipe for rod breakage from time to time, bring an extra rod along just to be safe.

Supersize Flies

Let your conventional size 6 Black Nose Dace, Mickey Finns or Muddler Minnows rest conveniently in their own box next to your summertime dry fly box of Elk Hair Caddis and Pmd's. To lure a unquestionably large trout, you have to start mental Big. Streamers that look like small rodents with hooks. The flies you should be packing are four to six inches long, sometimes even longer depending on conditions. Often constructed with two hooks and linked with heavy backing, heavy monofilament, wire or a combination, they are truly a "creation" by the fly tier. Some are weighted to go deep, others aren't in order to ride high in the water column. Some look more like Christmas tree ornaments than traditional trout streamers. Not to say that the "classics" don't work, but you will growth your chances for a big boy considerably by increasing the size of the fly you're fishing. A big trout wants a mouthful if it's going to spend the energy chasing food. It's a thrill to see a large fly, undulating straight through the water as it's retrieved and then suddenly engulfed by a dark shadow that bolts out of nowhere and buckles your rod to the cork......my heart start pounding just mental about it !

Vary color and combinations to correspond to differences in water depth, clarity, flow, light conditions and even physical makeup of the river. When throwing tandem streamers, I like to have one offset the other in color and/or action. Tip drab olive fly could be followed by a sparkly rainbow pattern, black followed by white, cream deer hair head (will dangle a bit due to deer hair), trailed by a tantalizing yellow. The combinations are many and it doesn't hurt to try out separate combinations on separate rivers.

I have found some consistency in efficient patterns when fishing high water with some "tint" to it. Under such conditions, a fly with a good silhouette will draw more attentions from fish than a sparse, faint pattern. When working a stretch of river filled with log jams that have a dark back drop, I will use lighter combinations since they will show up good with that dark wood behind it. If the run is a deeper "cut" or trough adjacent to ability lumber based cover, but has a sand bottom, I will be quick to go dark due to the comparatively light back drop of the sand bottom.

Two years ago I was fishing a black strip leech, trailed by a white baitfish pattern. An mountainous brown trout bolted from cover to search for the leech, only to pinwheel back and unquestionably Hammer the white fly. I often wonder if an attention-getting front fly acts as an attractor more often than we "know". Since only the fish have that answer, it's still just a theory. There are no hard and fast rules here, experimentation has often led to some great discoveries in the world of fly fishing.

Technique

Casting supersized flies cannot merely tire you out; it can be downright dangerous if not carried out with your full attention and some custom prior to getting in the river. Case in point - following a heart-pounding episode where a true trophy Trutta showed himself with a quick chase and short inspection of my fly, I frantically attempted to re-cast to the same spot, only to have it all come to a halt with a five inch streamer pattern hanging from my Ear !.....Ouch ! Sunglasses or other eye safety are requisite to have on when casting big flies.

Given that most any river can be fished with large, gaudy streamers, it's now a matter of how to effectively cast such large flies, get them where you want And not put a hook in your fishing buddy.

My foresight of traditional streamer fishing involves casting toward a bank at a 90 degree angle - perpendicular in other words - and working the fly back into mid river as though it got caught sideways in the current and is now susceptible to any around ambush artists....big trout ! Logic here is that by casting toward the bank, "maybe" just a bit downstream from perpendicular, that you're putting your fly in front of the most whole of fish. This is due to the fact that trout need to keep their noses into the current to most effectively pump water and oxygen straight through their gills. After retrieving fly/flies to just shy of the sink line-leader knot, pick up, false cast once, maybe twice to lengthen slightly or change direction a bit, present fly, let is sink slightly and begin the stripping sequence and repeat as you work your way down river. Repeat the process, focusing on likely retention water such as medium depth and medium current speed runs, troughs and jams.

Sounds good, but what's wrong with this advent ??? Nothing, If you have the room to back cast 15-25 or more feet of line. When using larger flies that cast and track differently in the water, a few things can be done with the cast and retrieve to keep your flies where you want them and not beat your body up too badly while chucking around big macs all day.

I like to employ a roll cast set up when working with heavy sink lines and big flies. Like a traditional roll cast, the request for retrial is similar, but for separate reasons. Rather than stripping the fly all the way back to nearly the tip of the rod, instead begin the roll cast request for retrial once you see your fly or have a pretty good idea that it's only 6-8 feet out from the rod tip. By starting the roll cast at this time, you're accomplishing 2 things in one continuous motion; not bringing All of your line in and then having to cast a clunky knot straight through various snake guides on your rod, but still retention flies in the water for the most distance you can. Should a assault come at the end, when your flies are a mere few feet from your casting position, you can strip one big arm distance of line in and still have sufficient tension to set the hook. Polarized glasses help a lot when training your eyes to look for the flies, versus aimlessly stripping away until you hear the line-leader knot clumsily climb straight through the tip-top of your rod.

By retention some line covering your rod tip and using the first part of the roll cast request for retrial as a "set up"- soft roll cast that has your flies land very close, but in Front of you - it's rather easy to then naturally pick up line, execute a short back cast and shoot the remainder of your fly line. An exceptional technique on smaller streams, it's also a great way to fish larger rivers. Once you get into a rhythm, it's a very efficient method for covering a lot of water and minimizing the wear on your body, especially the casting arm and shoulder.

Once in the "big fly" mindset, it's requisite to strip anything streamer pattern(s) you're casting, at a speed consistent with that of the natural that you're trying to duplicate with your fly. In other words, don't strip a 2" baitfish pattern in rapid, 20-30" increments, a fish that small cannot swim that fast ! This being said, I'm not a strong proponent of the slow strip during prime streamer time, which are the warming months of April and May in the Midwest. In some cases, you have to get a fish on the verge of hysteria to supervene a big streamer. Sometimes that means running it by them at a pace that's slow sufficient for them to catch, yet fast sufficient to make them nearly swim out of their scales trying to get it. As we "match the hatch" with covering feeding trout, we can do nearly the same with streamers at times. Identify what big trout are likely to be feeding on based on the river and habitat and then duplicate the fly, request for retrial and speed of retrieval to best match the natural. Large trout eat fish and they're used to chasing them down.......give 'em what they want and what they're customary with.

The inexpressive to Coaxing a Big Fish

As with so much else in life, success in hooking and landing big trout is fundamentally a matte of putting in your time. Few anglers I know can pick up a big-fly rig and cast it facilely and accurately if they have not devoted hours of time and sustained attempt to this type of fly fishing. Even those who have fished this way have to get re-accustomed to the whole feel of this game. "A bit rusty, eh?" is a base phrase early spring from friends and fellow anglers I may be on the water with. We all throw some wayward casts early in the season. But once "dialed in", although not always poetry in motion, it is rather magical to watch and only then can one turn the tables on large trout, when We become the predator.

Streamer fishing for big trout is assuredly not for everyone. You first have to accept the givens of this approach.

1 - You're not going to catch a lot of fish and may get only a few good shots at them.

2 - Hooked doesn't mean landed. I lost one of the nicest brown trout that I've ever seen, let alone hooked on a streamer, right at the net after negotiating numerous obstacles like stumps, boulders, an entire log jam and a tricky turn in the river. Friend Adam was ready with the net......and I lost him. As much as we "willed" that fish an additional one 10 inches closer to the rim of the net, it didn't happen.

3 - You will get tired. Your arm may feel like Jell-O at the end of a full day of tossing around rag dolls.

4 - You will lose flies, some very interpret that may have taken you or an additional one someone quite a while to tie.

5 - You can sense glory and agony with the same fish in a matter of seconds....some of which you will remember forever....

A Murder difficulty Halloween Party

Throwing a Murder strangeness Halloween party will leave your guests dying to get there to see what the strangeness is all about, thrilled to participate in solving the mystery, and talking about your party for months and years afterwards.

If you want your home to be "the place to be" this Halloween, read on for some great ideas for a fun (and safe) murder strangeness party for kids and adults alike.

JELLO SHOT RECIPES

Where

At your home - as you'll see, a party like this may involve decorating several of the rooms in your home, or you can confine it to your basement or family/great room. If the weather is warm sufficient (even if cool), you can have at least some of the party on your patio or deck or back yard too. If your guests will include kids, having the party right around evening meal time is perfect as it will be getting (or already) dark then, but won't be so late that the kids are losing it.

Invitations

The foremost part of the invitation is that it introduces your guests to what the party theme and tone will be. You can go silly, as with Clue, or serious, as with a crime from real life or a Law and Order chapter (with some details changed to make the clarification a surprise of course). You can do renowned cases or make something up from scratch. Regardless, your invitation gives the guest an idea of what to expect when they come to your party. Personally, I love the idea of a Costume Ball strangeness - that way everybody can wear whatever costume they want and not feel out of place.

Costumes

While you can have a exact theme for your party, such as Cinderella or Dead Celebrities, or Monsters, you can also just leave it up to your guests to drew up in whatever they want. Either way, costumes should be expected!

Favors

Favor ideas (that are convenient for both kids and adults) can be polaroid mug shots of each guest, whatever that glows in the dark (necklaces, sticks, wands, etc.), small bags of candy (maybe made to look like crime scene tape), fingerprint dust (candy), sketches of the suspects, small pads of paper (for taking crime scene notes), nail files, fake police badges, flashlights, handcuffs, whistles, etc. For kids, matchbox police cars too.

Decorations

Here is where the fun is! You'll need to decorate your house as though a crime was committed. If kids will be around, you'll need to have any gory stuff you want to include in a room where they will not be or avoid it altogether. It doesn't have to be bloody to be thrilling!

First, general decorations for the food and mingling area:

-> Black, orange, and metallic balloons and streamers would look great, especially if you have the balloons filled with helium and allow them to float on the ceiling with long ribbons on them. This gives a surreal kind of feeling with dim light.

-> Of policy the light should be dim. There are all kinds of halloween lighting, together with black lights, cauldron lights, candles, etc. (This is for the food/mingling area; the lighting in your crime scene will vary depending on the crime you want to present.)

-> Candles on the main table as a centerpiece are great -if you use candles, be sure that kids can't get to them. There are some admittedly neat dripping blood candles. Or you can display carved pumpkins.

-> Tableware could be black, orange, metallic, or in a nice Halloween pattern.

As for the rest of the house, you might want to only decorate one room, or several, depending on the crime story you decree to use or create. Here are some ideas:

-> Put crime scene tape across your front door. (Make sure it is easy for citizen to lift up to get in and put back for other guests.

-> In the bathroom, write a cryptic clue in lipstick on the mirror. Put a fake dead body in the bathtub with fake blood all over him (If kids are coming, you might want to skip this!) To make him, you can stuff clothes with hay or wadded up paper and use a stuffed mask for the head. You can use ketchup for blood.

-> Use glow in the dark tape to originate a figure figure on a floor, or put bits and pieces on the walls to try to give the impression of spattered blood lit up with infrared light.

-> originate a room in which things are overturned and broken and where it looks like a big struggle/fight has taken place.

-> If kids will participate, you should probably use a "Clue" game theme and leave clues all over the house that are more kid-friendly than fake dead bodies and such.

Either way, if you want to make a game out of it, the idea is to make it so guests can devise their own theories as to exactly what happened, so you'll need a "police officer" or other man of authority to read off the stats of the crime and background data to guests as they view the crime scene room(s). (Or, you can include this data on your invitations!)

You can originate it so that there is a exact guilty person, or you can just have citizen originate theories and make your mind up the best one to be the winner. Alternatively, you don't have to need that guests solve the crime but just use the crime scene as part of your decorating theme.

Food

There are so many Halloween themed food ideas that I can't even begin to crack the face of what is available, from haunted house cakes to spiderweb cookies to brain-shaped jello molds to "finger" foods (little hot dogs), etc. Just use your imagination or hunt online for "halloween recipes."

As for crime-scene connected ideas, pretty much any recipes that have human parts (fingers, bones, brain, eyeballs, etc.) and whatever bloody. Also, police-type ideas include coffee and doughnuts (no offense meant to our citizen in blue!), badge shaped cookies or cake, and foods that are easy to eat on the way to a crime scene, like sandwiches and wraps.

Don't forget Halloween drinks! A cauldron of fruit punch, or a punch bowl of any iced drink that is good for everyone. Be sure to have basics: coffee, soda, iced tea, and if your guests like, beer and wine.

Cake

For a Halloween party, a cake is not mandatory, but if you want to have one, there are lots of online ideas for Halloween. I couldn't find a crime scene style cake, but a badge or handcuff shape would be cool.

Games

Of course, your strangeness can be a game and you can also have Halloween oriented games too, together with bobbing for apples, candy or treasure hunt, pumpkin carving, etc. When I throw parties for kids, having several games planned is great, but for a more adult party, just socializing seems to be what my guests tend to want to do for the most part.

Entertainment

You'll probably want to have some Halloween spooky music Cds. Since the crime scene will take some time, you might want to have a stereo with music rather than live entertainment. But it's fully up to you and what your guests would enjoy the most. I wonder if there's a Cd with theme songs from crime drama Tv shows anywhere? :) Or if you have a police scanner or even have a crime show on Tv or on Dvd playing, like a season of Law and Order or Csi.

There are endless ideas for having a crime scene Halloween party - as I mentioned, you could set it up like an actual crime scene or set it up like a Clue mystery. You could also originate a Scooby Doo strangeness or a strangeness consuming Halloween-type creatures like ghosts, werewolves, vampires, etc. It's all dependent on what type of Halloween crime party you want to have.

Fun Jello Cookies

If you are looking for an easy dessert recipe, try some Jello cookies. They are quick to make. The cookies turn out light and fluffy, but have the fun colors from your selection of Jello. Make cherry and lime for red and green cookies for the holidays. Use orange, lemon, and lime for spring colors. You are limited only by your imagination and the choices of Jello on your store shelves.

jello egg mold

These cookies are great favorites with the kids because of their fun colors. You can always brighten up the colors slightly with a drop or two of food coloring if you wish; the Jello makes a nice pastel color on its own. Make them when you want to cheer someone up; the colorful cookies will bring a smile to their face.

JELLO

This dough holds a shape pretty well. You can roll out the dough and cut the cookies out in shapes using cookie cutters. You can also press them flat with a glass or with a mold that has a pattern. You could also make a pattern on them like you would a peanut butter cookie and use a fork dipped in sugar to make criss cross marks. This recipe also works well in a cookie press. You can make all sorts of fun shapes with a cookie press. The Jello provides the color and a bit of flavor to the dough. You can even choose the colors of Jello to match a theme party if you want. Let your imagination run wild; make pink and blue for a baby shower or match colors with wedding colors for a bridal shower. Green would be perfect for St. Patrick's Day, of course, and orange would work well for Halloween.

Some people like to sprinkle the freshly baked cookies with a little sugar; it sticks better when they are warm. Otherwise, you could sprinkle a little on before you bake them, but you need to watch so the sugar does not burn. You can also frost them when they are cool. Cream cheese frosting works well with most Jello cookies. Garnish with an appropriate fruit or put some colored sprinkles on top.

Recipe for Jello Cookies

Kids love these colorful cookies.

What You Need

4 cups flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1-1/2 cups butter 1 cup sugar 1 3-ounce package of Jello, any flavor 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla

Bartending Terms

Drinks requiring only shaking are covered with a plastic shaker cup and mixed within the glass; whereas shaken and strained or stirred and strained drinks are originally mixed within (a) shaker cups (glass & stainless steel) and then transferred to a glass. Remember to always fill your shaker full of ice before mixing drinks requiring whether stirring/shaking and straining. The same applies to glassware; always start with a full glass of ice.

*Safety Precautions*

JELLO SHOT RECIPES

Please keep in mind that while directions such as "shoot drink", "drink without using hands", "ignite drink", or "while leaning head over bar pour drink into mouth" are all authentic recipe components, they are only suggestions and should not be attempted if you feel that they might pose a hazard to your health. Make sure to never carry or vehicle a lit drink, as alcohol is a flammable liquid and should be respectfully treated as such. Before drinking, wholly extinguish any drink suggesting ignition.

Always overstock on ice, fresh resupply is important in the maintenance of expert standards. Whenever glassware or bottles are broken in the vicinity of the ice bin, melt the ice with hot water, clean the bin, and restock with new ice.

Ice

Ice can be one of the most leading factors in determining a drink's quality. Generally speaking, the small square-shaped "slices" ordinarily referred to as "bar" ice are best. Aside from preventing premature blender destruction, the smaller style ice cube, will by virtue of increased outside area, make for a significantly colder drink. The resulting allowance in vapor pressure (fumes) from the alcohol makes for a more palatable mixed drink.

As mentioned before in the section on Ice, whenever glassware or bottles are broken in the vicinity of the ice bin, melt the ice with hot water, clean the bin and restock with new ice.

A 2-speed commercial blender is almost a must for potential frozens. Don't destroy a 15-speed kitchen blender trying to crush ice; it's simply not made for the job. Waring® produces a good line of commercial 2-speed Blender models that start at less than .00.

Liquor Measurement

The use of a shot principles has been adopted, whereby a shot is equal to whichever size jigger you use, retention in mind that the recipes are based on a 1 1/2 oz. shot. When using a distinct size jigger, exact proportioning can be main­tained by using larger glassware and more mixer if the "shot" is bigger or vice versa if smaller. Use a 1 1/4 oz. shot and the specified sizes and measurements for a milder recipe variation. Splashes are 1 oz., scoops are 4 ozs. And dashes are from 3 to 5 drops. This principles was chosen not only because it's quick and easy to use but most importantly, because it's adaptable to your bartending style.

Liquor Measuring Key:

Dash-------3 to 5 drops

Store Food Safely

Outdoor activities such as hiking, camping, and boating are good activities for all the family, but remember this, if the food is not prepared properly, food poisoning would be a very unwelcome reminder of the day

1. Select foods that can be carried in a backpack and wont spoil easily. Keep foods whether hot or chilled. Since it's of hard to keep foods hot without a heat source, it's best to pack mostly cold food.

JELLO SHOT RECIPES

2. Keep everything clean, bring disposable wipes.

3.Bring bottled water a long with you as you can not depend on finding fresh water when you are out and steams or lakes can not be trusted to be clean enough to drink.

4. If you are planning a trip for more than a day then you need to revaluate your food plan bring air tight packaging and canned foods or sealed jars. For example:

==> peanut butter in plastic jars;

==> concentrated juice boxes;

==> canned tuna, ham, chicken, and beef;

==> dried noodles and soups;

==> beef jerky and other dried meats;

==> dehydrated foods;

==> dried fruits and nuts; and

==> powdered milk and fruit drinks.

5. If cooking over a fire or grill be sure that the food is cooked well, color isnt all the time a good indicater as it can be difficult to tell at night a good idea would be to use a food thermometer and watch for the temp to reach 160 F

6. To keep food cold the best way is to pack coolers with ice

7. If you're planning to fish, check with your fish and game group or state health group to see where you can fish safely, then result these guidelines for Finfish:

==> Scale, gut, and clean fish as soon as they're caught.

==> Live fish can be kept on stringers or in live wells, as long as they have enough water and enough room to move and breathe.

==> Wrap fish, both whole and cleaned, in water-tight plastic and store on ice.

==> Keep 3 to 4 inches of ice on the bottom of the cooler. Alternate layers of fish and ice.

==> Store cooler out of the sun and cover with a blanket.

==> Once home, eat fresh fish within 1 to 2 days or frost them. For top quality, use frosty fish within 3 to 6 months.

9. If using a cooler, leftover food is safe only if the cooler still has ice in it. Otherwise discard leftover food.

10. whether in the wild or on the high seas all the time wash your hands before and after handling food.

Weird and phenomenal Recipes Just For Fun

There have always been genuinely strange recipes around that are passed from kitchen to kitchen until they fade and a new fad takes over. Regularly they are perfectly edible, they may even taste quite good, but at least one ingredient is strange or used in a peculiar way.

Bacon Mugs

JELLO SHOT RECIPES

I found a version of this on Stumble. The resulting mugs make great packaging for salads, rice etc. Use small ovenproof dishes upside down. These you cover with foil pressed well down. These you cover with bacon. I t is best if you cross two rashers over the upturned base and then wind one or two more rashers in and out to make a bacon basket. Cook these on a baking tray to catch drips. How long they take to come to be crisp will depend upon the bacon and your oven. A hot oven is best, but may furnish some smoke. The bacon will shrink of course, but removed determined from the foil after cooling and they should keep their shape. I must try this with vegetarian bacon, but these crisp up genuinely quickly so keep a true eye on them. Someone else idea might be to create a basket in a long, shallow dish.

Carrot Jam

This comes from a Second World War time book, so is genuinely old. The fact that the recipe has survived this long must mean that it is worth making. Next time I make carrot cake I
will split it and spread it with some of this. I cannot give quantities as it depends upon how much mashed carrot you have.

Wash and peel your carrots. Chop them small and boil in slightly salted water until soft. Drain and sieve or chop finely in a food processor. To one pound of this pulp add on pound of sugar , 1 teaspoon of powdered ginger and the juice and grated zest of a lemon.

Boil all these together as when manufacture any other jam. Pot when it begins to get thick.

Rose Petal Jam

My darling Granddad would allow me to pick his costly roses to make this. Some petals, especially white ones need trimming at the end where they join the flower as this part of the petal can furnish a bitter taste.

2 mugs of rose petals packed fairly tightly, 2 1/2 mugs of sugar, 2 mugs of warm water, 2 tablespoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Cut the petals into 1/4 inch strips. Cover with the water and cook for about 10 minutes. Strain this, reserving the petals, and use the liquid to make a syrup with the sugar and honey. Boil and then simmer for 5 minutes before adding the petals once more. Then cook on the lowest inherent flame for about 40 minutes- an asbestos mat helps with this recipe. Add the lemon juice and cook for a supplementary 20 minutes. Pour into sterile pots and seal. Some would want to add a itsybitsy colouring, but I am a purist and never do.

Jelly Fruit - Americans would probably call these Jello Fruit.

I remember these as a great treat at birthdays when I was a child. Somehow eating the jelly from out of a fruit shell made it taste good - at least in my imagination.

Each fruit will give you 4 portions. Halve your oranges. Take off all the flesh taking care not to damage the skins. Place the dry skins upright on a tray, or good still equilibrium them in muffin tins which means that they stay upright more easily. Make up your jelly/jello a itsybitsy thicker than general and pour into the empty shells as full as you can as it shrinks a itsybitsy when it sets. Place the tray in fridge and let set. Then cut each half shell once more so that the orange shell is now in quarters which make them much easier to eat. All you have to do now is to think of something to do with all that orange flesh. Now that my family is grown I wonder if it will work as jelly shots?
