Pooh To You
I’ve shared my thoughts on the old Jell-O recipes, but there’s a recent story I haven’t shared with you…
Recently, at one of our yard sales, I sold a couple of college guys a retro Jell-O cookbook simply because of this firm beliefs that meat-gelatin salads are disgusting — not only that, I also sold him a retro Wilton cake pan in the shape of Winne The Pooh to go with it.
