I'm not dead!

I'm lazy though. Especially with the holiday and all. I didn't have any splashy Thanksgiving-related recipes to post, so I just ate quietly offline.

But I have this ad left over from summer (June 1954, to be exact), and it may actually be a Jello salad I'm willing to try, perhaps for Christmas dinner. I am just a little nervous about the carrots. Shredded carrots embedded in Jello do not strike me as a pleasant textural experience. What else goes with pineapple and orange rind? And lemon-flavored pigs' hooves?

Wouldn't you kill to have been an ad copy writer in 1954? One phrase, repeated five times. Ka-ching!

Anyone know where I can get one of these molds? All the new ones these days are shaped like brains or hearts.

Something tells me the carrot addition was more about color than taste or texture.

...and, does anyone use mayonnaise as a garnish anymore? I kind of hope not (and I like mayonnaise, in non-garnish forms).
