Oh man, I forgot to add the jello salad! I'll also be making my Midwestern grandmother's jello salad recipe, which is lemon jello with grated carrot and crushed pineapple. It sounds gross, but it's so delicious in that 50s-convenience-food way. |

I'm from the south, too, and I'd never had it until I went off to college. It's not pretty, but so good! |

Sorry, just came back to this thread: I think we have Stoli Caramel Vodka. I know another brand makes a salted caramel. I just eyeball a shot to a glass of cider. Nothing scientific. It is awesome cold over ice, but would be lovely warmed up too... |
