Today I'm roasting sweet red peppers from our garden. For many years I was unable to let the green peppers mature and turn red because the slugs would snack on them before they were ripe. We haven't had slugs for several years now -- I don't know why they suddenly disappeared -- so I can let the peppers ripen. I freeze the roasted peppers for use during the year in various recipes.

Speaking of recipes, do any of you remember the good old days when gelatin salads were a staple at family gatherings? Jell-o was used in a variety of ways back then. My grandmother often served Jell-o and cream as a dessert. If you were as really good cook, you would follow these guidelines:

I think I'll pass on a serving of the last ones.
