Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 25, 2024

Max will be joining them, shortly.

I had to look up Jello Jewels, hadn’t ever heard of it. Sorry I did.

Ooooh, flashback to 1950’s gourmet dining!

I don’t know what Jello Jewels are. I’m not sure I want to know.

I think the Uncle Buds of the world benefit most from the idea you have to put up with family no matter. I’m betting they created the idea in the first place.

Call him back later and say you have Covid

Ugh. They eat everything and their kids are apprentice felons.

One of the best words in the English language is NO!

Val needs help, she cannot say “no” to anyone.

Now, is Uncle Bud from Evie’s side or her husband’s?

Sounds close to what Curtis will have on that family also coming in for Thanksgiving.Husband and I with our son driving, for Thanksgiving going to different town 45 minute drive to my sister/husband, used to have our mom with us, they expect us as when my dad was alive back then too over 30 years ago and still going, Christmas they come to our house.

I’ll never understand why people allow this to happen to them. It’s OK to say no.

Jello Jewels (cake) is good! But I don’t think I’d make it for Thanksgiving; it’s more of a summer dessert. The only Jello thing I make these days are Jello Jigglers eggs, for Easter. People seem to like them.

“Everything’s better with Jello”I beg to differ.

Just say “No!” and mean it.

No. It’s a full sentence. Grow a spine!
