Another wet day...not much rain, just wet.  And fairly warm, almost 50 degrees.  

Another week behind us...I feel like time is going faster than light.  There are times when I would like it to slow down, but we find ourselves again at the beginning of another weekend.

Do you have any plans for the weekend?  If you can, please take some time to do something that you want to do.

Maybe take some time to consider this week's question; or, try a new craft that you've wanted to try; or, read a book.

I thought I would share a recipe for a refreshing jello salad.  I know, jello salads are not in vogue but I always liked this one.  The original recipe called for shredded cucumber but even when wringing out as much moisture as possible, the salad always became watery.  So, I tried it without the cucumber and liked it just as much

Ingredients:

1 Large lime jello package

2 cups Boiling water

1/2-3/4 cup Mayonaise

1 cup Cottage cheese

1/2 cup Walnuts

1 Shredded cucumber, if desired

Add two cups boiling water to the lime jello, stirring until dissolved.

Put it in the refrigerator until firm

Using an electric hand beater, break up the jello

Add the mayonaise and beat

Add the cottage cheese, nuts and cucumber (if desired) and beat.

Keep refrigerated.

When I want something somewhat sweet but not a dessert this is my go to snack.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Talk with you next Monday
