Materialist Rundown
Dec. 25th, 2006 10:10 pm( The Present Haul )
At Christmas dinner, we were talking about old recipes when my aunt walked by the table and asked my mom, "Do you remember that thing Mother used to make with lime Jell-o and shrimp?"
Yes, that's right. Lime Jell-o. And shrimp. In one dish.
After the gales of laughter and the discussion over such a thing would go on the dessert table or with the appetizers, and my mom's avowal that she remembered no such dish, I decided to Google it when we got home. And, um. It does exist.
We'll be making it for the next family gathering. Just for the hell of it.
