How to make jello shots

A popular dessert/alcoholic shot for a party over here is jello shots. Very easy to make, can get people drunk very fast (depending on amount of alcohol used) and nice and colourful. I attempted to make some for Doug's Halloween party and I have to say that it turned out pretty well. I obtained the cups from Peter but otherwise you should be able to order it on Amazon.

1. Get some jello

2. Get some alcohol. I used Absolut Vodka. Note, you can keep the vodka in the freezer and it won't freeze. Vodka is nice when it is cold. Mmmm...

3. Empty the jello sachet into a mixing bowl. Pour 1.5 to 2 cups (depending on how much jello you use) of boiling water into the bowl. Mix thoroughly. Make sure there aren't any grainy jello bits left.

4. If you are making normal jello, this is the time to add in cold water. However, for our purpose, we add in VODKA. If you used 1.5 cups of boiling water just now, add in 1.5 cups of vodka in the bowl.

5. Stir thoroughly and then pour it into the cups. Put it in the refridgerator until it hardens.

6. Eat and be merry!!

Pumpkins!

There was a pumpkin festival at the West Village in Dallas the weekend before Halloween. There was arounf 6000 pumpkins there and they had a whole day of games. I was there towards the end of the day because I only wanted to see them light the pumpkins!!

Posing among the pumpkins.
1 out of the thousand pumpkins carved that day.
Before the pumpkins were lit. The structure was quite big. We could even see it while driving on the highway.
There was a countdown and all the pumpkins were lit at the same time! They didn't do candles.... I guess it was just more convenient to do electric bulbs.
