I am totally taken back, in every aspect of time, you have totally captured the decade in absolute excellence!!!!!! What a breath of freshness, class, elegance, style you have exemplified, look at you!!!!!!! You are representing my era all so well, you look absolutely, epeccably stunning!!!!!!
As children of the 60s, my siblings and I became experts at avoiding Jello “salads.” They seemed to show up in multiple versions at every pot luck, picnic or family dinner. It took a certain amount of strategy to avoid eating the nasty things. We’re in our senior years now, and not one of us has ever made one. That dress, however, is an absolutely charming revival. It looks beautiful on you, and I simply love the fabric.
@@baddie1shoe Luckily I was never in a position to be subjected to such a revolting thing (wouldn't call it food or dessert); gelatin (jello) is absolutely revolting. The way it jiggles is extremely disturbing and revolting as well. It should be banned in food products, quite frankly.
I like making Jello fluff which is jello, whipped cream and cottage cheese mixed together. I use an electric mixer to blend it all together and it tastes great. It’s better than the weird eldritch abomination with hotdogs and olives in it.
I'd like to see the kid's reaction to the jello salad. I'm glad the RUclipsr gave it an applause. Another RUclipsr that I watch does food reviews, DJClive.
Onions. In Jell-O. The marketing department at Jell-O in the 1950s were bold. Or if Mad Men is accurate, constantly wasted 😂 Congrats on surviving the salad section 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 And that apron is amazing 💚
I’m convinced women came up with these recipes to mess with their husbands 😂. There were ads where the woman got spanked for not doing chores 😩..maybe they got a kick out of watching their husbands choke down a tuna jello salad and some mayo and pineapple for dessert 😂
100%, they were usually at least PARTIALLY gone but don't let that trick u into thinking that the WIVES weren't! Wives were KNOWN to be "medicated" and I believe they let it make its own impression on their food choices as well😂😂😂
Gelatine was made widely available in the 1890s. During WW2 and the great depression it was cheap and easy to get, as it wasn't rationed, which led to the rise of Jello dishes (esp after lime jello was released). In the 1950s it was a kind of status symbol for housewives to show off that they not only had the time to make Jello dishes, their husbands also had jobs that paid well enough to afford a refrigerator.
The history of these salads is actually fascinating! They come from very labour intensive aspics that can be nice. Then this became a cheap industrial alternative, and they took it a bit far, There's several articles online if you search for the history, and it's worth the read.
This is why I love mid century appliances and design. Not only were things designed to function smoothly, they were also engineered to last. I still have my grandma's scale and office hole-puncher from the 40's, and they work better than ANY newer products. Despite getting kicked around for the last 80 years or so. Just like that Duracel bettery slogan: "Takes a Lickin and Keeps on Tickin." That's a slogan from back in the post industrial boom during the race to space era, when everything was built to last through hell and highwater. When I was younger, I didn't like grandma's hole puncher because it was "old" and big and clunky. It was made of solid metal and weighed at about 20 lbs! But that's precisely what makes it so good! I can't tell you how many new digital scales and plastic hole punchers I've had that have bit the dust within the first year. I finally copped on to the fact that grandma's appliances and tools were the best ever made. All it took was a little WD40, and that hole puncher was back in business. It is industrial strength! It can punch about 20 sheets of paper all at once as many times in a row as you need it to. Just pull the lever and SWOOSH! Like a little chopping block! None of the screws have ever come loose. It's just simple, clean, strong, and effective. Same with all tools and appliances from back then. I wish I'd saved gramdma's stove, washer/dryer, car... everything!! Those things were built like tanks and finely crafted! I miss analog technologies.
I was waiting for your face on this one when I saw onions and Jell-O 😂😂😂. That look on your face was one of real surprise and indicated “It’s surprisingly not nasty” 😂😂😂
First I'd like to say how much I enjoy your videos. My husband and I just bought a 1950s house in it's original condition (it's why I bought it). We've been having fun finding more 50s and 60s furniture for all of the rooms. It has the built in stove and oven (2 pieces) and it's so convenient having the oven higher up. I enjoy making some of the foods they're in the 50s but jello salads aren't on that list. I do however enjoy making new recipes for jello shots. 😊❤
Honestly I give you so much respect for even continuing this cause some of the recipes are so questionable and lack so much flavor and seasoning I low key be feeling bad for the people from back in the day who ate this stuff regularly😭😭😂😂
I mean, this is one of the few that makes sense! Cucumber tastes delicious cold and it already has a slightly questionable texture depending on who you ask. So turning it into a cool wiggly gelatin dish doesn't sound too out of pocket!
Im indian and we make a sambal with cucumber, onion, vinegar, and some apricot jam for sweetness. Mayybe it will taste something like that, but that jelly ratio makes me think it will be way too sweet and with the added gelatine texture - I'd probably pass on this one.
This video is what got me interested in you. I’m subbed and been catching up with this series 😊 I love old school appliances and wish they never got rid of them
You! My lovely fellow human❤ Yer my Real life Retro Self getting to use and make all kinds of cool stuff🙏🏿👍🏾💐🙌🏿 I think you are also healing some timelines for sure🥳♥️🥳
I grew up in the 50's and 60' and I LOVE Jello salads. I make on with lime jello, cream cheese, Campbells asparagus soup onion powder/juice, pecans, celery and green pepper. My family loves this and I make it for every holiday.
I love vintage cook books, and this Jello salad actually looks appetizing compared to some of the ones I've seen recipes for. Your kitchen and outfit are adorable.
The one my Mema always made was Sunshine Salad. Orange jello, shredded carrots, and pineapple. Weird combination but surprisingly it worked. I crave it now and again 😂
That blender built into your countertop is absolutely stunning. This is peak ingenuity
An now all the houses have boring ass white modern kitchens
1950s peak ingenuity across the board in the kitchen NGL
@@vozera723Well you have to create innovations when you're spending all your time there...
@@quokka_yt this reminds me of that Futurama episode, they put a foot bath where the bottom food warmer was
All I can think about is what happens if it breaks and you can’t fix it? Is it just a hole in the counter now?
I have never seen a built in blender. So cool, also you are gorgeous girl!
They have actually brought it back.
Girl, my gag reflxes kick in automatically when i hear any jello recipe 😂😂😂
Love the matching apron tho😊
😂😂
Same 😂
Mandarin orange salad is the only one I can stomach!
@@Yeshuacomesasathiefinthenight agreed!!🤣
Jello pie is my addiction, one of the few jello recipes I truly love.

I was born in the 70s and ate my fair share. How could you avoid?
My family still brings at least one, at least they’re usually sweet I guess but I find the texture revolting.

What did you have to do to avoid it? Was it a “why aren’t you eating my food” situation?
That built in blender thing is so cool!
Omg the little “okayyyy” was too cute.
I watched the whole thing again just to hear it.
I'd like to see the kid's reaction to the jello salad. I'm glad the RUclipsr gave it an applause. Another RUclipsr that I watch does food reviews, DJClive.
Girl. GIRL. YOU ARE STUNNING!! I love your whole look! ❤
Agreed!
She makes everything! By hand!
Brave, brave woman. 😂
Brave indeed. I'd probably make this for my little brother if he keeps busting into my house like he pay bills☺️
I like your cat ❤❤❤😂
My grandma used to make this jello. I couldn't with the celery. I tried it once, gagged on it and was done!
Why was a lot of 50s food so dang weird
I think after the depression they wanted to go ALLLLLL out w their food presentations and weird combos LOL. My theory but probably something else
It was all about using what they had available. Of course they got a little bit... too creative.
i think ww2
Cuh Dey boad
Back when everybody’s so creative wore a floral dress instead of yoga pants 🥴
I love that little "you like it?" In such a tentative tone. 😂
Your kitchen and your outfit are to die for 😭 i love the bright colors!
Onions. In Jell-O.

I wish this aesthetic was more popular today. It’s so lovely.
Who is stopping you from trying it
We just got to start doing it. I am going to be buying this cute little dress with Bunnies on it.
Agreed Agreed
Me too ! I wouldn't mind it at all 🥰
girl who’s stopping you! go ahead! I would love to dress like this tbh
This is the most adorable video ever! I looooooove the 50s vibes!
The look of skepticism made it even better 😂
Home cooks were playing fast and loose with the term “salad” back then lmao! I love your videos :)
😂
They really were😂
SNL has a great skit/song about that very thing.
😂😂
Okay that blender thing installed into the BENCH?!?!
That was actually a thing in like the 50s and sixties, I believe you can still have them installed in custom houses.

Remember the central vacuum system?

THE APRON WITH THAT DRESS IS 🔥
I was waiting for your face on this one when I saw onions and Jell-O 😂😂😂. That look on your face was one of real surprise and indicated “It’s surprisingly not nasty” 😂😂😂
Yes I’m like wait this is different???
Her face said “it should be disgusting - why isn’t it disgusting??”
I'm shook onions cucumber celery cayenne and lime 😂 JELLO 😂
I love how the food youre making matches the apron!!
That apron OMG I haven't even listened to the rest of the segment it's so beautiful
That blender is so cool!

Cute! Onion in jello is a bit much!
that apron is so cute! It looks like jello!
Ohmyygod. I have not seen a built-in blender. OHMYGOD
THIS DRESS AND THE APRON OMG 😍😍😍 You look so beautiful I can't even pay attention to the recipe lol
I’m happy you enjoyed it! What a talented and gorgeous woman! 💖
My grandma used to make lime jello with shredded carrot mixed in and its my favorite way to have jello! The carrot gives a crucky bite
I can see that but I’m so confused on onions being added 🤢
I am the kid in the background. Concerned, mixed with a dash of curiousity 😂😂😂
Hahaha the kids loved it
I love anything suspended in Jello.
Ahhhh!! I love your jello themed apron! Just pulls your whole look together! Too cute!!
I actually like it 😂. My grandmother from Virginia made this, my mother and aunts make it as well. ❤😂
YESSSS my grandma was born in the Azores and raised in Fall River MA but she moved to the Richmond area in the early 50’s. She made food like this!
@@wandaruth3833❤
that "Like i said it's Very Good 😊" girl literally just rolled into my mind like a projector when u took dat first bite lol 🎀🐜🕊️💚
Girl you are THE REAL DEAL!!! I'm wouldn't be brave enough!!❤❤❤
Honestly I give you so much respect for even continuing this cause some of the recipes are so questionable and lack so much flavor and seasoning I low key be feeling bad for the people from back in the day who ate this stuff regularly😭😭😂😂
Hahaha I don’t think many had much to compare it to. So many older commenters used to eat their meals just like this.
They boiled all of their vegetables and maybe added salt and pepper. It was not a flavorful time…
Then we discovered Swanson's TV Dinners and our world changed...
I love the YAY, and the apron! And I actually think I had this jello salad as a kid!
Sounds like your kids your number one hype man🎉
They really are. They sit in the background waiting for my opinion and their turn to try
Oh Lady, you're whole outfit! Love it!
You're brave lol
I actually enjoy cold cucumber soup, so this sounds like it could be tasty! Of course, the best part is watching your video ❤
Please never stop being fabulous ❤❤❤
You bring so much joy to my day!!!

My mom used to pear, lime and cream cheese gelatin. I still love it!
Green jello salad. I ate in grade school. 😊
She is so cute! I love her commitment to the time period
You should make the sandwich from "Lets Make A Sandwich" it's an old home economics film and the sandwich looks really good
I just watched it-charming and looks surprisingly delish! I love how Sally is so proficient in the kitchen-mom taught her well!!!
OMG I adore this!!!
Please please, do more videos in your gorgeous attire. You’re absolutely stunning!!
THAT IS THE CUTEST APRON IVE EVER SEEN
You look adorable 😍. Please bring this back ladies
Remove the onion and change vinegar to lime juice then its probably taste much better.
Your videos are so charming, classy and enjoyable.
You! My lovely fellow human❤
Yer my Real life Retro Self getting to use and make all kinds of cool stuff🙏🏿👍🏾💐🙌🏿
I think you are also healing some timelines for sure🥳♥️🥳
I love your retro look, especially the dress and the way you’ve styled your hair. Very pretty!
I'm always for people doing a throwback recipe, but jello should stay far away from vegetables imo. Glad you liked it tho!
Also mayo and cheese...seen some jello recipes that ask for cheese , fruit , mayo and vegetables ...
Cucumber is a fruit.
I just can NOT get over this perfect and amazing apron!
You are BRAVE!!😂
I love these segments ! They’re so fun to watch. It’s interesting to find out what the taste is like without having to be the one to eat it
So elegant ✨

“would u give this a try?” Hell no💀
Her smile is really pretty.
I love how you dress, its so pretty!
I love everything about this video. Your outfit, your home, etc. ❤
Ma'am you are so brave😅😅 that looked nasty. America is strange
It's a quicker take on aspic, which is European.
I love vintage cook books, and this Jello salad actually looks appetizing compared to some of the ones I've seen recipes for. Your kitchen and outfit are adorable.
that apron is so cute and looks so useful since it appears to be waterproof
I was already into the concept, but then you saying it was good pushed me over the edge. I hope I get to try this one day!
The plastic skirt??? Crazy cool

Omg the aesthetic house, the outfit, the vibes
You are so pretty oml 😭💖
That dress is absolutely gorgeous 😭❤️!!
I could her ThatMidwesternMom singing: Minessota salads that aren't rreally salads 😁
I would try it if someone else made it, lime and cucumber seems a good combination. I’m absolutely loving your outfit!
What was the obsession of the 50s salads and jello 😅😅
In a few words, cheap and easy.
That's one of my grandmother's specialties...I Loved it as a child
oooh my stomach bubblin..
Your outfit is the cutest thing, the green part even kind of matched it
I didn’t care about the recipe I just looking at you and how beautiful you look
You are a very brave woman. Hats off to you 😊
What blender is that omg ive never see anything like that
You are truly brave 😂 I was thinking cucumber and lime could be sweet and refreshing, but then the raw onion appeared ☠️
