I am feeling all domestic and kitchy and 1940s. Back during the summer, Jell-O was on sale and I thought, "who doesn't love Jell-O?" So I bought eight packages. How much Jell-O have I made since I bought them? Exactly none ... and I have had the craziest craving for Jell-O lately. I think it is brought on by the commercials they have nowadays for the people who eat the wiggly desert and start wiggling themselves. They're strangely addicting commercials. ANYWAY - I looked in my pantry and realized that three of the flavors I have - Strawberry, Apricot, and Pineapple - look very pleasing together, so I just made up three batches and am letting them cool for a bit before I pour them one on top of each other. I've never done this before, and the web is not being helpful when it comes to telling me how long to chill before mixing ... four hours total for chilling - that I know - so I've set the timer for an hour (by then they should be reasonably firm, I think), but I'm checking it in half an hour.
The ultimate goal? Red, orange, and yellow kitchy goodness!

When Aunt Blanche did her 7 layer jell-o, she made the bottom layer, chilled it completely, spread it with cool whip, then layered the next layer on. Repeat.
Jell-o dishes are my favorite things to make for parties and such. So retro! I can't wait to hear how your layers of cold fruity yuminess turn out!
