I read a historical fiction about them and I say good for her. Nobody should be without love and Franklin had his person and Eleanor had hers and they had the relationship that they had and none of it was anybody else’s concern.
Sprite was not introduced to the US until 1961, so I'm thinking Mamie used 7-Up. Sugar free Jello? 1984. Crystal Light? 1982. I demand an explanation. (Am I not getting into the spirit of this thing?)
We used to have some sort of strawberry Jello/Cool Whip frozen thing as a dessert at some holidays when I was growing up. It was SO GOOD (I'm not big on sweets or pie).
Not going to happen this year for Thanksgiving, but I bet my kids would like it if I made it at some point.
So it was some holiday, and I drove into the city to get oldest kid and bring him home for holiday. Meal plan all made, only dessert yet to make. Youngest stayed home, said she'd make the jello cool whip thing. Great. We're on the way home she phones, really upset, just can't get it to work. OK, you've boiled the water, added the jello, now adding ice cubes to get it to start to set...."but mom, the ice cubes keep melting!" "Well, they're supposed to melt, but on the way down, they cool the mixture....." "they don't, though, they're just melting so fast...." "Wait, honey - where are you doing this?" Turns out she had the jello and boiling water in a pot on the stove on high heat. She'd probably boiled about five cups of ice cubes by the time she called me.
Started fresh with a new package of jello, and it all worked out just fine. She'll never live it down, though.
Fans have been tracking this moose on a Facebook page that as of Tuesday had more than 18,000 followers.
Nicknamed “Bullwinkle” or “Rutt,” he’s been wandering in southern Minnesota. According to experts, he is likely looking for home territory or other moose to head north with.
"“He’s lost, and he’s trying to get home to his family,” said Bernie Stang, a moose fan who spotted the animal in late October"
I hope so much that Rutt finds his family. It breaks my heart when these wild creatures are separated from their friends and relations and are hoofing about alone. I worry about them.
We had a young moose in our backyard several years ago. That poor creature had wandered very far afield of her usual grazing areas to have stumbled into the far northern reaches of Spokane County to wind up underneath on of my maple trees. I hope that after local wildlife officials came here, coaxed her into their big truck, and took back up out into more wooded areas closer to the mountains that she was able to locate a familiar herd to rejoin.
I just hee from CBC radio that orphaned polar bear cubs have tripled this year in northern BC. I've dealt with and respect pb's, and this makes me sad.
So, I keep getting "only paid subscribers can comment on this post" for the Betty Ford one. First, I /am/ a paid subscriber, just I kept the monthly on Paypal or Patreon or wherever it is I can't remember everything okay? rather than over here, because it all goes to Trix and none to substack, but also, none of these are supposed to be paywalled? I have a confuse.
I did the same, stayed with PayPal and get the same messages. I’m glad it’s working for Wonkette but Substack is sure not working for me. I’ve been a paid subscriber since before Rebecca and Shy married.
I ran into that problem once. Apparently some articles are so controversial that the Wonkette Goddesses can flip a switch to turn off all noncomments, or another switch that only allows paid Substack subscribers to comment.
Here's a different recipe instead... pulled pork BBQ.
get some pork loin. It is cheap sometimes. Get a crock pot. Put a large beer in crock pot (pour it, don't just set it in there), then put in some red BBQ sauce, mebbe a cup, then the loin, then water until the loin is nearly covered. Low and slow for 8 hours if you have time, 4 hours at a minimum on the higher setting, then pull it out and LET IT REST. When it has cooled so you don't burn your piggies, tear it into small pieces by hand, NO KNIFEY ALLOWED!!!! otherwise it isn't pulled pork. Once you have torn the little bastard to shreds, put it in a pot on the stove, lightly dress with a mix of red and mustard BBQ sauces, but NOT TOO WET, or it will be ruined. Let people choose their final sauce on the sammich. Get some decent kaiser rolls or brioche buns or just a really nice hamburger bun, slap on the meat, sauce to your preference level and serve with a side of baked beans. HEAVEN!!
You need a pork butt (or other shoulder cut), not loin. Otherwise, that'll do, if you're not from a particular BBQ city or region. Such as KC, my home town.
yeah, the loin comes out very tender and juicy, easy to tear by hand, and more of a South Carolina BBQ style than KC. I lived south of Nashville for a while, and we did pig pickin' BBQ which was also awesome.
Here in Flarduh, everything is red. Chicken is red, Pork is red, Beef is red, because everything they call BBQ is actually just smoked meat with sauce that permeates the meat, makes it all red, dry as DUST and kinda like using sawdust for breakfast cereal with BBQ sauce instead of milk. In other words, the BBQ here is SHITE.
Many thanks for the info, but very sorry about the state of BBQ in FL. Dry BBQ, ugh. Here in CA, a state I love dearly, I must admit the BBQ situation is far from ideal. IMO....
We can put a man on the moon but can't get jello to set with fresh pineapple. Maybe if you freeze it?
except for water and ice, none of those ingredients existed when Mamie Eisenhower was cooking for thanksgiving.
You are exactly right. Just coming by to say the same thing.
This dessert should be known as The Cold War.
This dessert should be known as The Cold War.
No. Just no.
FAKE NEWS! Er, uh, recipe. No Crystal Light in the 1950s!
Just the ticket before a colonoscopy though
Lorena Hickok was cuddled up to Eleanor Roosevelt, not Mamie.
"Frank-LIN! If YOU can have a mistress, so can I!"
I read a historical fiction about them and I say good for her. Nobody should be without love and Franklin had his person and Eleanor had hers and they had the relationship that they had and none of it was anybody else’s concern.
Oh, I'm cool with that. I was just correcting what was wrongly asserted in the post :)
Jello is wonderful, and I shall not have it slandered so!

There wasn't a 'sugar-free' anything in 1955.
Yeah, that's the other thing that's always bothered me about this post.
It is a little known fact that Mamie invented time travel.
I did wonder about that.

Oh, yeah, my neighbors used to make this. I wanted my mom to make it So Bad.
Well, this looks scary enough:

Where are the others? It's a moose-tery.

my 1st thought … loin tends to be just dry white meat, i avoid it … get the cheaper pork cuts … better flavor …
yeah, the loin comes out very tender and juicy, easy to tear by hand, and more of a South Carolina BBQ style than KC. I lived south of Nashville for a while, and we did pig pickin' BBQ which was also awesome.

I was lucky enough to find decent bbq in Portland, OR. Our daycare provider ( LOVE you, Ethel) had a relative who made wonderful bbq for their church.
Also, because she was around them enough, she developed a Texan accent for a while. we thought it was cute, but my in-laws were horrified. Lulz.
you shoulda seen the reaction of the Texan who came to visit and went to the local BBQ place for some brisket....
his face was a look of horror.
Only Jell-O in Florida. "Aspic" too sexual.
Oh, how I miss the avalanche of Disqus Jell-O mold horrors.
Ask and ye shall receive my friend.
