um yeah, that looks totally gross. HAHA

I'm looking for a recipe right now that'll utilize large quantities of fresh parsley, as I mistakenly bought it thinking it was cilantro. Any ideas?

I'm getting stomach pains just reading this recipe!  It sounds like a lab experiment, lol.  Kind of reminds me of another equally gross and useless recipe:  Tomato Aspic.  Who wants to eat tomato jello?  Uggghhhh! 

So good to hear from you, and thanks so much for your words of support.  I know you understand.  :)

ewww. I have an old cookbook of my great grandmothers. It's interesting to say the least. In the 'chicken' section, it tells how to pick out the best chicken, chop it's head off, and defeather it! can you imagine having to do that everytime you were in the mood for chicken?!

Rocquefort - Avocado - Grapefruit Jell-O salad. Oh, the disgust. Bleh. Bleh.

Wow... but you know in some snooty restaurant such a dish might get rave reviews.

I admit it, I have never enjoyed tomato aspic. Then again, I dont like fresh tomatoes by themselves or tomato juice. However I do like avacados and grapefruit and blue cheese. I have seen people have the "Oh gross!" reaction to sushi and Thai food. I spent 30 years of my life ignorant of the delights of these foods. So, I think what is gross in food is what you haven't eaten before. This might turn out to be just the thing for a hot July afternoon.

:wha::wave:  Hi I found you through Musicmom & this cracked me up LMBO!!!! you have the same humor as me...LOL I plan to sub to you...What does this say about ME????:lol::lol::lol: Kris

Oh, some of those old gelatin recipes are a horror. My mother used to make one with lime jello, cottage cheese, celery and canned pineapple. Ya, the little chunks of salty sour cottage cheese in the jello made me think of vomit every time. But, in [cautious, partial] defense of the RAG salad, avocado and grapefruit and lime juice go really well together. In fact, I made a salad last night of lambs lettuce, cubes of red grapefruit, and avocado with a red wine vinaigrette (and a dash of lime juice). I'm not touching that recipe, though.

RYC: Kucinich is definitely a progressive democrat--against the war in Iraq, supports single payer health care plan. Independent online polls show the majority of American voters aligning most strongly with Kucinich's platform yet they won't vote for him because the mainstream media has convinced us that he is unelectable. Oh, and the media takes every opportunity to remind us he is short, and a vegan, and his wife has a tongue stud, and he doesn't discount the possibility that UFO's might exist. So, y'know, totally unelectable.
