Ice Cream and Jelly, In Yer Belly, Hip Hip Hip Hooray
A friend had a ‘Regression Party’ on Saturday night, to celebrate her quarter century. She got to dress up as Dogtanian, there were all sorts of party foods (little sandwiches, Party Rings, Jammie Dodgers, sausage rolls, carrot sticks and cucumber, and of course Birthday Cake with Candles) and people got to play Pin the Tail on the Donkey and Pass The Parcel and Musical Statues and other jolly things.
Because the birthday girl’s Mummy and Daddy weren’t on hand to organise everything, guests were invited to contribute to the feast making. I initially decided not to take anything, because I was too busy with university coursework- in fact I had already agreed that apart from this pre-scheduled party there were to be NO social events scheduled for the weekend. But then I remembered Jelly. Which doesn’t really take up a lot of time. Even if you do three colours. Which I did:
I’m afraid I forgot to take any pics; this one was taken in the poor light of the hall by the birthday girl’s friend, MH. Still picks up the colours of the jelly very nicely though! I was awfy proud of it and tried not to be too sulky that everyone else seemed more interested in the other (guest-brought) jelly (which had vodka and fruit-yuk-in it).
(I’m sorry to admit there was actually no ice cream. but that’s beside the point, I wasn’t going to spoil a good title was I?!)
personally, I agree that jelly should *never* have fruit in it, and really should **never** be served with ice-cream. But then that’s just me; other people can have it any ∞∞∞∞∞ way they want.
Oh, I should have said that it looks very pretty and must represent several hours construction time x
