Jell-O: Taste the Rainbow!

I had an idea that kept me awake at night. I had visions of color...more specifically the rainbow.  So I did some calculations. After doing some more accurate calculations once I was awake. Here is what the rest of my day looked like:

I have two Jell-O Egg molds.  Each mold has 6 eggs.  Each egg holds 60 ml. Each box of jello makes 200 ml.

 So I put in 10 ml of each color in the the egg molds.  After each color I put the molds in the fridge for about 2 hours for the Jell-O to firm up.

 It took me all day, and there was a bit extra Jell-O so I put them in extra molds.

  But the results were super!

 This gives me even more ideas...

From Compost to Soup

This spring I got some ripe compost from Paul and Reesha.  After a few weeks I noticed some plants I didn't remember planting growing. It took me a while to realize that it was growing out of the compost that was mixed in. Two squashes grew.  I covered them with knee high panty hose.  This kept the squash bugs out. One made it, one went to the bugs. This one grew on the fence so it was a bit out of the bugs range, but I did have to chase a few out of the covering every once and a while. It was worth getting a healthy butternut squash to share with my friends.

I wanted to make Butternut Squash soup, so I had to cut it.

Seed it, and bake it.

I baked it for an hour on 400 degrees.

 The next steps weren't too glamorous.  But I scooped out the insides, put them into my Ninja Prep Master and added a cup and a half of Veggie Stock. Some garlic powder, salt, pepper and ginger.

I then invited Paul and Reesha over to enjoy the veggies of their compost. I added a piece of basil from the backyard.  Yum!
