Transplanted

Tonight Brandon and I met Judy and Ed for a post-election celebration at a great pizza joint. And since Thanksgiving is next week, we started talking about funny things people serve at their turkey feasts. Ed mentioned that some friends of his do it Italian style with pasta dishes galore. So I couldn’t help mentioning the first Utah-related Thanksgiving food I could think of: weird Jellos.

I grew up in Utah, as a Mormon no less, and I’ve experienced lots of pot lucks with green jiggling Jello molds with things like little marshmellows, carrots and even cabbage in them. It’s like someone took a look at all the potato casseroles and decided they ought to eat less starch. Seriously I gotta imagine that whoever decided to put vegetables in their green Jello mold was a desperate woman (or man). And, as promised to Ed and Judy, here is a recipe for green jello with cabbage:
