Bologna Days!

People from around the state drive to Genola Minnesota every Wednesday to the Red Rooster Bar for Bologna Day's. It's quite the 'to do'. The old ladies get all dooker'd up and all the men are excited to eat ring bologna on white bread!

Grab a flimsy paper plate, a plastic fork and wait your turn to load up with as much horseradish, ketchup, white bread, baked beans and ring bologna! No knives, so be sure to bring your own pocket knife. The beer is ice cold and the old time polka band is playin' loud.

It's as if they're giving away free beer it's so crowded! You may even find the local Priest peeling back the bologna skins. And although it's all you can eat, you'll want to get there early so you can be first in line!!

Puddin' Pops!

Old toy, new fun! 

A while ago my Mom gave me our old 'Frozen Dessert Kit' and every once in a while on these hot days we use it. Today we made 'puddin pops'! 

Fun Facts about Jell-O!

Kraft foods sells more than a million packages of Jell-O each DAY!

Fruits that sink in Jell-O: seedless grapes and fruits in heavy syrup like fruit cocktail, peaches, pears etc. 

Fruits that float in Jell-O: fresh fruit like bananas, citrus sections, sliced peaches, apples and fruit in light syrup. 

Jell-O came out with a cola flavored Jell-O but it was dropped the following year. Original flavors were orange, lemon, strawberry and raspberry. 

Jell-O is America's most famous dessert. In fact it was once considered a very decadent dessert and served by the upper class. They used fancy Victorian molds to create desserts that were both beautiful and tasty.
