There are a number of recipes out there for gummi candy. All are based on a single concept: add a whole lot of extra unflavored gelatin (like Knox) to a single packet of flavored gelatin (like Jell-O). There may be other additives, such as Kool-Aid powder or juice, in the recipe you choose.

The following recipes mostly vary in terms of the ratio of unflavored gelatin to flavored (anywhere from 3:1 to 7:1). If you use them with candy molds -- either purchased or self-made -- the majority of them should set up in about ten minutes.

This fall thousands of students will have to navigate their university dining halls without one crucial feature: the cafeteria tray.

Back when I was a wee child, and for many years after, I was my father’s favorite son. Which is odd, since I’m female as all get out. But because of organized sports, attitude and other things – my brothers weren’t as much in the custodial constant as I was, and hence I became what I still refer to as “ballast.” What this means is, I read books while dear old dad fished. We fished for fresh water fish from land and boat. We fished for saltwater fish from shore and sea.
