murraysmom, I used the on-line recipe from Epicurious and cut them with a knife once they were set. I think they're "better" than store-bought because they're made with cane sugar... they would make AWESOME s'mores and would be fantastic in hot chocolate because they melt so quickly and nicely -- a feature that made them difficult to toast on a stick. lol! Everyone loved them, but I think they would be better if made with egg-whites rather than gelatin. :O)

The idiot who looks after the apt bldg across the street insists on using the snow blower when a quick shoveling will do. NO snow on the sidewalks, streets or parking lot, yet he's out at 6:30 this morning. There was some ice here and there, but he'd rather fire up the blower. I'm sure it's good for it!

mimipadv, love that pic of the mighty squirrel hunter! My granddog would react the same. Outside she chases them up the nearest tree and will dance around that tree for as long as I let her. Here the resident chipmunk taunts her.

This is not quite in focus as I hand held the camera while zooming. It is just a great looking duck though.
