You Wanted to Know!
What's up with those annoying "pop-ups"? Turns out, they're not really pop ups, hence the reason your pop up blocker isn't stopping them. They're flash text. Luckily, the powers that be have slowed them down (honestly, I think they've turned them off), so the annoyance should be minimal!

I am a self admitted cooking flunky, so if you’d like to see something here that takes more than five minutes or five ingredients, just email me! I’m always willing to try! From our very own ChefMom!
A festive fruit and gelatin salad treat
Ingredients:
1 can (16 ounces) pear halves
1 package lime gelatin (3 ounces)
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tsp. powdered sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Lime slices
Directions:
Drain pears, reserving 1/2 cup syrup and 3 pear halves. Dice remaining pears. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water. Stir in cold water and reserved pear syrup. Pour 3/4 cup of the gelatin in a one quart mold. Arrange pear halves in shamrock shape in the bottom of the mold.
Chill until almost set. In the meantime, chill remaining gelatin until it is thick like egg whites. Whip cream, adding powdered sugar, and fold into the gelatin. Fold in diced pears and nuts. Pour over the layer of pears in the mold and chill until firm.
Unmold the salad on a platter and garnish with lime slices.
