Cheats Guide to Jelly

Jump to Comments

The cloud is finally starting to lift, if a little slower than I had hoped, and just in time as my mother was threatening to phone the shiny new crisis line, well its not shiny and new (it has been around for CMHT for about a year) but has just been introduced for the CAMHS outreach team users. Few. Now things are getting better and life that little bit more bearable I can take on board the advice people have given me; like yesterday when I wrote a post just for me not thinking about anyone else. Today I am doing something Erin suggested, to go off topic for a post and today I am writing about my second favourite topic after Sims; jelly.

 

So when I said I was going to write about making jelly I bet you thought I would list about 100 ingredients and make from scratch. Something like the scene in cold comfort farm with tables covered in flour and brightly coloured jelly and sweat on my forehead. hell no; you have got me completely wrong  I am no chef, in fact I can cook things in cans, microwave meals, cakes and cold food. If I go to university next year I have no idea how I will cope. I have two ways of making jelly one for if I am depressed and cannot do anything at all and one for if things are ok. Well my first way has no making at all unless you count this- So what to do; trek to the fridge and select a pot of jelly, collect spoon from draw and collapse on carpet upstairs, open pot and place spoon in it, eat and then leave said pot where you are lying and go back to bed. If you have some more energy you can try jelly making like a pro,

So jelly Hannah style hence a poor picture of me; what you need is a measuring jug, jelly and scissors (if you live in the UK avoid tesco extra value, while it is only 8p it tastes like shite), cut up the jelly into the smallest pieces possible and place in jug with 100ml of water and put into a microwave for a minute while you are waiting why not list reasons about why you are a bad person if you are feeling rather low or if you are at the other end of the spectrum do star-jumps. Remove from microwave stir, add water up to a pint (or ml equivalent) and pour into a container. You could go for the traditional look with a glass mould, or the funky cat, rabbit or mouse pictured. If you are really cool you could do something like this. Then put it in the fridge, if you are really hungry you can eat it in about an hour in jelly soup form or you could just go back to bed and eat it the next day.

 

Last line…

This must be the strangest thing I have heard yet some people just have too much time on their hands. On that topic does anyone have any suggestions of good films/dvd’s to watch. I have got a lot of time on my hands but limited energy and I haven’t watched any films for a while so I was thinking of sending my sister to Blockbusters of doing an amazon order.
