I actually don't mind the occasional gelatin salad, but my aunt insists A)
on putting weird things in hers, and B) using the flavors of Jell-O to
which I am allergic. Personally I like the white grape, but nobody else in
the family seems to. What with all the various food allergies amongst my
family members, we're pretty much limited to saltines, water, and
unadorned rice if we try to come up with something that everybody can and
will eat. ;-)

Margaret, who does not mind that carrot gelatin thing Mom makes but not
with pecans in it
