My mom had those.

I think I finally got rid of them.

Remember gelatin salad with cottage cheese? Usually green, maybe with peaches or pineapple?

Family members made using those molds. Gross. I hate cottage cheese.

HA! My Mom still had the bottome set in the 70's when I was growing up.

The Fish, Lobster and Heart were always my faves on Grandma’s kitchen wall! :)

Jello molds were a big part of my childhood. My mother and my aunts were constantly experimenting with Jello.

Now I didn't mind so much plain old Jello. But when the adult women of the family started putting in bits of carrots, celery, lettuce and who knows what else, well that always made me want to gag.

There was a store in Rockford, Illinois called “The Sweet Pans Shoppe”, that must have had the largest collection of extant plastic molds in the world. My wife had bought a bunch to make chocolates of every shape. We moved from the area in 2014, only to find this long-standing institution closed down in 2017. It will probably be replaced by another “Molly’s Slot Machines”.

I have one of those! My grandmother had several and so when I came across one in a rummage store, I bought it. And I do use it as decoration because of the memory of my beloved grandmother.

In the mean time, I still stuff my turkey and not with stovetop. Many of the recipes I use were strait out of the 50’s and 60’s if not before. But they don’t include anything with jello, marshmallows, or moulded tomatoe juice.

My gravy is made from the roast drippings and I don’t serve ham. And even though my family descends from Canada, peas aren’t on the menu either. Root crops are.
