I've never thought of Jello as a junk food. It's a hospital dessert.

Yes, supposedly Jello is very popular among Mormons.

This is probably one of my least favorite books. I love when they get snarky and fight, but the plot was pretty ridiculous. Another one of Kristy's "great ideas." Also, I have quite a few Mormon friends, and I don't recall any peculiar love of Jello. The one guy is more the chocolate cake type.

I googled "Mormons and jello" and the yahoo.com answers are cracking me up. And apparently Mormons put freakin weird things in their jello. (No offense meant to any Mormons out there. I like orange jello. Plain. No chopped spam or corn flakes added please.)

lol, so this Jello topic came up at work today, oddly enough! Today two of my coworkers were discussing some brownies someone had brought in, and one of them said that he dislikes eating any kind of food where someone adds something to a prepared mix (like adding chocolate chips or nuts to brownie mix), and then he said "Same for adding things to Jello." My other coworker in the conversation is Mormon, and so I immediately thought of this conversation and I was sitting there thinking "OMG is he going to say he likes adding spam to Jello?!?!" But then he said that he hates Jello.

I did ask a Mormon friend about it, and he described being served green jello with ham once he moved to Provo.

Didn't Mimi and Mary Anne talk about how dreary the weather was in #4? This book was drearily boring. I still hold fast to my comments from a year ago about the nursery rhyme itself and story in general. One moment that was funny was when Elizabeth asked Kristy was Emily was dressed as a clown. IDK why, maybe because the rest of the story was so laborious. I also did like how for once, Kristy accepted Nannie's offer of a break from caring for Emily (after the pageant). "Jessi" should have took notice of that when Aunt C first came!

So I found it interesting during the graduation from baby class that the description of Richard and Sharon stated they were looking around gazing and smiling at babies - made me wonder if their was a plot line for them having a baby that was scratched!

^ I always saw them as too old for that. I know they technically weren't (early 40's, I think), but I never really thought they'd go there.
