Red, White, and Blue for July 4th

If you're celebrating the Fourth of July and would like to make a festive dish, try this red, white and blue Jello. This recipe was submitted to Allrecipes.com by Madel Yoder.
I made this last night, and we will enjoy having this today to celebrate the Fourth.

Red, white and blue Jello.

 Ingredients

• 1 (3 ounce) package berry blue gelatin
• 2 cups boiling water, divided
• 1/2 cup cold water, divided
• 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin
• 1 (15 ounce) can pear halves, drained and cubed

Directions 

In a bowl, dissolve the gelatin in 1 cup boiling water. Stir in 1/4 cup cold water. Pour into an ungreased 9-in. x 5-in. x 3-in. loaf pan. Refrigerate until firm. Repeat with strawberry gelatin and remaining boiling and cold water. When gelatin is set, cut into cubes. Just before serving, gently combine gelatin cubes and pears in a large glass bowl or individual dishes. 

 Happy Fourth everyone. 

 

Canada Day Covered Dish Supper

We had a good time at the Covered Dish Supper on Saturday night at the Marble Mountain Community Hall to celebrate Canada Day.  There is always a good crowd at these Marble Mountain suppers because MM is known for its excellent cooks.  And again we were not disappointed.  There was a lot of delicious food, and it was good to see friends and neighbors.    We took a red and white jello dish (red and white are the colors of the Canadian flag) and a dish of maple-glazed walnut halves.

It was good to see old friends and make new ones. I understand there will be another supper at the Hall in August.  Oh good, we'll be there.
