Closing time; every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
Throughout the course of my existence, I have been faced with several trying questions, a few of which remained impossible to answer until the course of certain events took place.
Today, while sitting over a boiling pan of water, I became enabled to respond to such a question.
Many of you know of my tragic encounter with Jell-o a few years back that ended in it's burning and later evaporation. I decided to tackle such a task this evening, seeing as the internet was down and I was unable to access any of the homework I had recieved during my absence.
As it rested in my hand, the box mocked me with a 'sugar-free' grin in the form of it's label. Sure, I was taking the easy way out by not using the ingredient that had caused the fatal fuego in the first place, but it was a start. It was time to cope with my past and move forward in the art of boiled dessert snacks.
Ripping the thin cardboard in jittery anticipation, I poured the substance into a plastic bowl, while placing a pot of H20 on the stove top until it came to a violent simmer.
The directions explicitly stated that one must boil the water, THEN pour the liquidation INTO the reddish powder awaiting it's steaming refreshment. It was here that my fatal error was realized. I had added the Jell-O mix to the boiling water, and not the reverse. I had also got a trifle antsy and added the sugar at this point as well, causing the azucar to fry.
I finished preparing this strawberry flavored delight in the course of no more than 5 minutes and am proud to report my abode remains intact.
Just thought I'd share before I scampered off to finish all the work I missed whilst away from school the last few days. Tally ho!
