167/365 Add a little wiggle

Chase has safely returned to Indiana!

He drove home from Colorado and arrived Thursday night in the midst of our welcome-home pre-cookout preparations.

We invited family over Friday night to give them a chance to visit with him. At my request, even though it's not the fourth of July, we made red-white-and-blue Jell-o dessert cups.

I love the smell of boiling water hitting the Jell-o powder. It's one of those terribly interesting foods that really makes me want to know the chemistry behind it. Why is it that you add boiling water to dissolve the gelatin, cool water to set it up, put it in the fridge for a few hours, and voila! A wiggly, not-really-solid dessert that is nothing but fun to eat. How does that work?

Camera: Canon 40D with 60mm macro lens 1/125s, f/2.8 at ISO 800 under both fluorescent and incandescent light.
