They stay green almost no matter what and, while they may seem unsightly on smaller city lots, they really aren’t that noticeable when they’re filling in the blanks in a large field-like setting.
This year, I thought I might share some of our adventures in treat making now and then..This was our first experiment with layering Jello and it was so much fun!
We started out with basically whatever flavors we found we had on hand in the cupboard..Those colors look pretty darn tropical together, don’t they?OK then, better add some pineapple to this mix too.. Fun science fact: Fresh pineapple and fresh pineapple juice contain something called bromelain, which digests proteins and prevents Jello from setting.
If you’d like to add pineapple to your Jello, make sure it’s canned or tetra-packed.The pasteurization that the pineapple goes through for canning deactivates the bromelain.
Once we’d assembled all of our ingredients, we got to work!
Here’s the recipe:.You may have to pay a little more attention to what you’re doing on a particular section, but that hour of taping everything off that you’ll save will be worth it.
For any little mistakes, just carry a damp rag and wipe as you go.Save the painting tape for when you want to do fancy designs or stripes or things like that.. #3: Don’t Be a Perfectionist.
That old saying of “If you can’t do something right, don’t do it at all” just doesn’t apply to painting.There isn’t really a right way to paint as long as you manage to get the paint from the can onto whatever surface you want it on, and it looks good in the end.
