I think you're right and gelatin would definitely have been a no no. At that time I doubt very much whether kosher gelatin was readily available so I suppose it was the concoction that made it gelatinous. I do remember that it was clear and I think she used to put slices of carrot and hard boiled eggs into it, but I'm not really sure if that's 100% correct. Personally I thought it tasted gross and smelled even worse.
Your granny would have liked me best lolol
I doubt that. After all, the sun rose and set on my little head. I was the bestest, greatest, smartest little girl ever put on this earth. She was the only one who seemed to think so and because of that I'm 100% sure she was the greatest, smartest human being ever. lol
That accounts for a LOT lol Spoilt brat ! Is that another of those variants, spoilt/spoiled ??
Yes it is and no I wasn't.
I was the one and only until after the war when my uncle returned from WW2 and the only one who had the patience to go there just to read her his mail during the years he was fighting. We would read the letters over and over until she memorized every word. She used to get these G-Mail messages, with lines blacked out so we had no way of knowing where they were coming from and that was really the only way she was able to know he was still alive. Even if she could read and write, there wasn't any address to send him a reply.
I also taught her to read a few words and to write her name so she could put her signature on papers. After that, I was perfect no matter how poorly I behaved. Oh yeah, there was also the fact that I liked anything to do with a needle and so did she. She got a great kick out of teaching me.
That would make you close for sure. It's nice when adults have to rely on children, I believe it makes the child super responsible. In Japan my mother could not speak any Japanese and when she shopped (I think it's the reason I grew up hating shopping) it was always "Ask the man how much that fish is" and then we would go back to the car and at the tender age of 12 1/2 I would drive her home lol A couple of times the MPs stopped us but we were British and they could do nothing about me driving, the US regulations did not apply to us.
And you think I was a brat !!
That's why we have grown up the same lol
My mom did that too. The Petcha stank up the kitchen and tasted even worse than it smelled.
My Bubby made it especially for my father, who was the only one that would go near it.
