Never did understand that. The pineapple sounds good though! Yellow jello? (isn't there a song about that?....there should be!) Why would you want to ruin perfectly good jello with cabbage?

As Grant used to say when he first started eating school lunches, "Mama, you just get so hungry you could eat anything !" I think you should try it again with well drained crushed pineapple and finely grated cabbage, maybe a few shredded carrots. Use lemon jello to make it easier. Make it in a square pyrex and top it with your sour creme, creme cheese, sugar mixture. Sounds delicious ! The last time I tried getting a jello salad out of a bundt mold, it fell on the floor and made such a mess I have never tried it again. Seems you are not supposed to leave it in the pan of warm water so long..........so much for my timing ! ha ! Without a doubt, Perfection Salad was the highlight of the dinner !

Well, sort of the same. When I was young and visiting Grandma Meyers, she always let me pick out a treat at the grocery store to eat while I was there. My two favorite choices; jello cubes in whipped cream, or a spread of cream cheese with pineapple bits...came in a little glass jar, perfectly usable as a juice glass later! Very frugal! Yesterday, Rick and I went grocery shopping. We ran into the supper hour, and as I was ever so tired and not wanting to cook (after babysitting Zoie all day) we bought a ready to eat roasted chicken, and yup....you guessed it! Jello cubes in whipped cream! YUM! :) Zoie requested hot dogs. Minus the blankets. :) (dear sister-in-law)
