M...Haha! Apparently, spandex holds a lot of jello.<br /><br />My great-grandmother was 103 when she died, and I remember her well. She had jello molds in her kitchen, too. And a wood-buring pot belly stove. She spoke only French, and I loved it when my grandmother took me to visit her. <br /><br />Kitchens are the heart and soul of a home. I have a pot rack in mine, where I hang all my pots and utensils. And I use them often (it's so convenient). Makes me think of Grandmama. :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06694559900539722616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704795557309896295.post-52788843665569312182012-01-12T15:21:26.430-05:002012-01-12T15:21:26.430-05:00Not a big fan of Jello...and I'm not really su...Not a big fan of Jello...and I'm not really sure why.

I didn't know either of mine, but I did have my maternal and paternal grandmas, and they couldn't have been any different if they'd tried. My Gramma (mom's mom) was a sweet little German lady with a gray bun, support hose and sensible shoes. Her meals ran along the lines of heavy comfort food. My Memere (dad's mom) was Canadian French and a gourmet cook. A "simple meal" to her included beef with reduced wine sauce and homemade eclairs for dessert. Between the two of them it's a wonder my arteries survived childhood.

Muffin tins. You can make cute little individual molds in them.
