Just wanted to say your blog always puts a smile on my face and has inspired me to start my own little collection. I scanned these out of an old knox gelatine cookbook today and wanted to share them as another png enjoyer :)

Thank you! I might steal these.

Here's something just for you:

Having a coffee that's just a watered down coffee today has been a pretty chill experience [it's causing bubbles but not like extreme gastric distress], mostly because for a while now I have just been putting everything I should be drinking in large cups of boiling water all at once and simply drinking it with no cream or sugar and no regard to taste.

I can't even actually tell you whether it tastes good or bad, but I have been drinking a concoction of lemon juice, frozen cranberries, green tea, black tea, turmeric, and a packet of gelatin [not flavoured or sweetened jello, knox gelatin], and sometimes a pinch of dried roasted dandelion roots or a little pinch of coffee grounds or both. In nearly a liter of hot water. Much to -your- horror, nothing but the black tea is in a bag or filter the rest is all lose in there.

It looks and feels very "swamp potion a kid would make" only I am a grownup and actually downing it all. The lemon and cranberry have tasted good next to chocolate... I cannot evaluate the rest of the flavour.

Potion of kidney recovery.

I ate one can of beets fried in avocado oil and put into wraps, but I think I am done with the beets for now. The bone pain is mostly gone and I just need to make sure the gout is too. my hands, feet and shoulders are still sore, and I can't tell if they are just healing or if I still have gout.

I want steak and cokey cola so bad. Life is sadness.

Better Homes and Gardens - March 1972

I was looking up bulk gelatin powder last night for ballistics gel. Amazon was showing Knox gelatin for about $20 a pound which is probably close to what my grocery store is charging. I did find a bulk foods website selling gel for $10 a pound.

According to the recipe I looked up 10% ballistics gel should use about 13oz of gelatine for one gallon of water. That would come out to about 4lb 1oz of powder and 5 gallons of water to make 2 blocks that are 6"X6"X16".

The next problem is finding a mold. The only one I could find in those dimensions is from Clear Ballistics and it's $120 for essentially a stamped metal box.

Next best thing I could find was a mold for making concrete cubes 6" in all directions. If I stack them end to end 5 of them would come out a couple inches shorter than what I was hoping for (2X 6X6X16) but I think that would be close enough.

I should also hit up Good Will and see what I can find for a really big tupperware or like a big loaf pan.
