Fresh Watermelon Mojito Shots

Hello Gelophiles,

Summer is upon us and delicious fruit abound. The peaches and blueberries in our community garden are almost ripe and ready for picking and I'm swimming in cucumbers and tomatoes. Technically fruit, but not the most common base for a gelatin shot. So I turned to   watermelon at the local market.

Here's a refreshing summery shot for your next outdoor picnic.

More Press for Jell-Obama

Hello Gelophiles,

This is exciting news. Eddie Gehman-Kohan documents the Obama Administration's food and nutrition initiatives.  Lo and behold, Jell-Obama has made it up to the White House Steps! 

Read about how a lil' old Pudding shot can be linked to the recent debt ceiling conundrum here.

Harry Potter, The Elements, and Jell-o all in one?

Hello Gelophiles,

Watch Daniel Radcliffe sing "The Elements", a song the brilliant Tom Lehrer recorded over half a century ago.  

The same Tom Lehrer who is the supposed father or a founding father of the Jello shot.. Now if only Bill Cosby made a guest appearance... Heaven!

I Open At The Close... Harry Potter Golden Snitch Shots!

Hello Gelophiles,

This is the shot I've been so excited to make. Edible Golden Snitches. The brilliance of J.K. Rowling is that she made a seven part book series where so much is tied together in the end. Things from book one play a significant part in book 7.  And thus is the tale of the Golden Snitch.

If you recall, Harry Potter catches the first snitch, an enchanted golden sphere that zooms around the Quidditch court. Uhm Quidditch is a wizarding sports games played on brooms.  Okay, this is difficult to explain if you aren't a fan of the books and movies.

Suffice it to say, Harry catches a snitch in his mouth in book one and this story comes back into play in book 7, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows. A plot perfect for a molded gelatin shot. 

And here it is!

Jell-Obama mentioned in the the Wall Street Journal!

Hello Gelophiles,

I'm a small playa in the Jello movement but a playa non-the-less.  Reach the article in the WSJ about jello molds and look for the mention of Jell-Obama!

All Hail King Slurpee!!!

Hello Gelophiles,

Today is July 11th, aka 7-11. Every year on this date the convenience store chain 7-11 gives out free Slurpees.  I decided to take one of their Slurpees and doctor it up.

As a kid my mom used to doctor things up. She'd add some oregano and grated parmesan cheese to a can of Campbell's soup- voila gourmet. Or chopped apples and a dash of cinnamon to Quaker Instant Oatmeal. We were fancy like that.

So here's my doctored up version of a Pina Colada Slurpee.
