Cleats by Bill Hinds for November 04, 2024

I used to help my grandma make turkey noodle soup … not just at Thanksgiving; throughout the year when we visited. Fond memories.

Giblet jello… ummmmmm …NO!

That must’ve been one big turkey. Either that, or nobody really ate that much.

Hurk

Giblets belong in the dressing.

At one time, my sister worked for a local church. The Women’s Group compiled several cookbooks over the years. She gave me one from 1957. In the Salad section, there were 17 recipes for gelatin salads. Some used plain, others flavored Jell-O. Some were amazingly horrible sounding. One included the following ingredients:

1 pkg. lemon jello

1 c. hot water

3/4 c. cold water

2 T. vinegar

pinch of salt

5 hard-boiled eggs, diced

1 can tuna fish, shredded

1 bunch celery, cut fine

1/2 c. mayonnaise

2 pimentos, chopped

1 green pepper, cut fine

1 can peas, drained.
