An unset jello <em>as metaphor<\/em>. It was this or take a walk. The sun is setting and it&#8217;s colder than I like for walking plus I am out of the habit plus I&#8217;d rather reheat homemade chicken noodle soup and entertainlie the possibilitylie that I will walk after eating. In the dark. Prolly won&#8217;t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doozy workdays, m\u00e9lange of administrativa and planning, picking off to-dos before they have ripened into urgencies after the holiday week. That&#8217;s the sickness and the flame, to always be working onto some mythical horizon whereupon by doubling fevers today, there is presumed to be some lighter relief in sight for sweet tea on the porch of a new house, a nap, or where to string a hammock for pretending to read in afternoon daylight.  My favorite word in this paragraph is m\u00e9lange but I&#8217;m dulldim as can be with accents because lazy Anglophone and tonally clumsy. Can&#8217;t win &#8217;em all with languaging; I&#8217;ll try to do better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That photo is meant to be suspenseful, suspended and tottering on the question of is this serious or is this playful? Is this dessert or is this supper? Is this savory or is this sweet? Department holiday party is coming up; we were pink sludged with an email about it the other day. Sign up! Declare your dish! I&#8217;ve been wanting to make a jello mold, but then some friends joked that I should make a savory jello, and I thought what better way to transform a small-time joke into an unforgettable big top laugh riot than to actually make the savory jello. Pictured here. Weiners reinforced. Medley of green pimento-stuffed olives and celery for textural offset and palate cleansing. And then some kind of jello in the middle, but what kind is it. Bone broth? Pickle juice? Apple cider? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I wrote to Ph. and Is. and asked if they would indulge me a trial run. That&#8217;s where I make something for them to learn how to make it for others. Keeps the shortcomings in the family, quasi-private, and among the most trusteds. They&#8217;ll tell me if it&#8217;s good or if it isn&#8217;t. Their palates are refined and rangy, reflective of their disparate ages and experiences. But in this case, they responded with vomit emoji and that lurching stomach churn animated GIF from <em>Dumb and Dumber<\/em>. I am listening. I haven&#8217;t taken the next step on this one. Not yet. Anyway, celery was sold out at Kroger the other day. But I still have to come up with something for the holiday party, and it&#8217;s less than two weeks away. Gelatins have a way of calling you, beckoning, blinkering into a day, reminding you that they have congealing to do. So this is more like a beginning than an end. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>A quick jot.
