[Sca-cooks] comfort foods and age

[Elaine Koogler]

The one thing I just can't eat anymore, mostly because of overexposure both
in childhood (all I could eat when I had the mumps...BAD association) and as
an adult (had to be on a clear liquid diet before diagnostics and surgery
for colon cancer...an even worse association!!) is Jello.  I just can't look
a dish of the stuff in the face anymore.
