[Sca-cooks] Jell-o at Thanksgiving feasts

[johnna holloway]

This seems the proper time to mention this new
book that's out...
By Carolyn Wyman, famed author of
Spam- A Biography

comes her latest work which is (drum roll, please)

Jell-O : A Biography.

 described as:
"Chock full of history, lore and ephemera as well
as recipes for main courses and
desserts, ideas for crafts, and
just plain silly stuff,
this one little volume delivers,
just as "the dainty dessert" has always done."

Just thought I should let you know in case anyone
needs a volume for Christmas presents... You could even
do a set of the Spam and the Jell-o volumes....

(who ended up with her Great-Grandma's original Joys of
Jell-o pamphlet from the early 20th century...It seems
to have run in some families for a century now....)
