What I Didn't Miss This Year

Blame Sugar for this one.

My sister makes this thing called "Razzle Dazzle".....it would be okay except for the carrot shavings. I mean, who puts carrot shavings in a raspberry jello mold concoction?

WHY?

I've been eating the fucking carrots off the relish tray all damn day! EVERYONE has been eating the carrots off the goddamn relish tray.

Why is it necessary to put carrot shavings in the jello? Is this someone's way of telling us we're short on our annual allotment of carrots? (They obviously don't know we're practically sprouting little white tails at my house.) Is this a secret plot by the carrot growers of America?

I didn't miss the Razzle Dazzle this year. However, I did miss the cheese and crackers.

Just as bad as carrot shavings (perhaps worse) are pieces of chopped celery. Neither one should be found in jello, especially if it also contains fruit, cream whip and other acceptable goodies.

BTW, glad to see you back to what seems to pass for normal, Goddess!

Anything colorful seems to go into jello; carrots, celery, olives (green and black), I've even seen pearl onions put in. YUCK!! Why not glitter? Better be careful, I think they DO make an edible glitter.

EWWW. Vegetables and Jello should not mix. It should be a rule.

Hmm I love cheese and crackers.

Ewww... carrots in jello. The only acceptable additive to jello are fruits and whipped cream.. what's wrong with people! Plus, you should try to match the flavor of your fruits somewhat to the flavor of jello you're using. :O)

Everyone knows carrot shavings go with orange jello, not raspberry jello!
Are you familiar with "tomato aspic"?

I think the worst part about it is that vegetables ruin what could have been a delicious dessert, and it taunts you by sitting there on the table and being unedible.
