a peek inside the fishbowl

Dear Lord Or Whoever Is In Charge, please give us a few more hot days this summer so we can eat more of these:

I make these all the time. They are the easiest popsicles ever… they are essentially the only reason I don’t buy popsicles at the store. THAT IS HOW STUPIDLY EASY THESE ARE.

And it might be just my imagination (or maybe we eat them too quickly?) but I think these might even be LESS DRIPPY than other popsicles.

Have I mentioned how easy these are? And that there is no nutritional value in these whatsoever? Oh, and p.s., they aren’t vegan-friendly either. (Do you know what goes into gelatin??) But hey, sometimes summer is about letting loose, right?

Here’s the, um, recipe:

1. 1) Mix up a package of Jello as per the directions on the package.
2. 2) Pour into popsicle molds and let freeze.
3. 3) That’s it.

Your children will think you have magic abilities and when they get older they’ll fondly look back on the Happy Days That Mom Boiled Water and Mixed It With Powder To Make Summer Treats That Made Our Tongues Purple.

(Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)
