This Wednesday's Rock Band is "Church Basement" themed. I wanted to make glorified rice because that was my favorite when I was growing up but looking at the recipes I got from my grandma I found "fruited tuna salad" and "cucumber jello salad". Now I am torn.

Also, I went to bed at 9pm last night and slept until 7:30 this morning. I guess I do have a cold.

Mmmmm, my mom makes cucumber jello salad with lemon jello and cottage cheese and it's brilliant! Definitely church basement food.

I know! I haven't had that in ages. I have to decide tonight which would be easier to make!

Guess it depends on how long the jello takes to set. It's times like this when I wish I worked from home. I could go make a jello salad and then come back to the computer.

DID YOU KNOW: Before fridges were commonplace in the kitchen, Jello salads were a point of pride in church basements. It was a way to show off that you had a fridge in which the Jello could set and be stored in up to the time you brought it to church.

I don't want to work from home. I never would get things done. Ha!

OH!!! That makes me want to make Jello salad!

I was thinking tater-tot hotdish originally. But I have so many great casserole recipes. Cheeseburger pie might be tasty, too.

I know! So many choices.

Now I am torn.

Between which one's more gross?

I'm surprised there's not a poll!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL.

It was too much work to make a poll.

[sterlingphoenix.livejournal.com]

Write a program to do it for you.

[bertine.livejournal.com]

LOL.

I think I will work on work things today instead. :P

How do you make glorified rice? It sounds good!

[bertine.livejournal.com]

This is how I make it:

1.5 cups of uncooked rice (cook it then cool it)
1 bag of mini-marshmallows (I used the fun flavored ones!)
1 can on crushed pineapple
1 jar of maraschino cherries

Mix all this together then add coolwhip until it looks good.

It is so easy
