"Blog"trospective 10: Gelatin
So I just read three books with Jell-O in them: so what? It would be dumb to make a "blog"trospective called "Books with Jell-O in Them" just because our big, lush "blog"trospective about books with owls in them is so enormously popular and all anyone ever talks about ever all the time. Once I read three books in a row with Pernod in them, and that went nowhere. But by opening up the field a little, there may be enough material here for a true "blog"trospective worthy of ranking alongside the rest of them, which nobody cares about. For example, my WEBSTER'S NEW TWENTIETH CENTURY DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, UNABRIDGED, SECOND EDITION from 1974 lists "jellies made with gelatine" (they add the extra e 'cuz they're fancy!) as the second-greatest definition of "gelatin." So anyway, enjoy this "blog"trospective about gelatin and shut up. agarita bush; fruits of make jelly---cow's blood as---Currence, John, takes a culinary blowtorch to some peanut butter and jelly sandwiches---dandy in aspic, a---elves made of---ham hock and red pepper jelly on toast---in GIDGET---jellied ginger ale cubes---Kerouac uses "jello" as a verb---McNeil receives a free lemon jelly donut---Mrs. Abington's better than Mrs. Thrale's---proponent of aspic given a diamond by the Tsar---quivering in a spoon---robot standing in aspic---salamander eggs resemble---tearful separation from.
