That raisin dessert doesn't sound half as strange as a Victorian party game called Snap-Dragon, in which a bowl of brandy and raisins is set on fire. The object of the game was to get as many burning raisins in your mouth as possible. (I learned this one from my Annotated Alice (both Wonderland & Looking glass. At least that Snap-Dragonfly with its body of plum pudding, wings of holly, and a head that was a raisin burning in brandy that Alice meets in Through The Looking Glass and What Alice Found There made sense after I read the annotation)

only americans seem to have the talent to turn something nice into disgusting artificial shyt. whipped cream - cool whip, mayonnaise - miracle whip, cotton candy - that cold thing of artificial color in a plastic bag that you call cotton candy, cheese - spray cheese, freshly done dips - onion soup dip, butter - I can't believe it's not butter, bread - wonder bread, anything baked with marsh mellows on it, and so on and so on, it's just appalling how much you revel in all that artificial junk!

Oh hey, my mom makes the New England Yam Bake for Thanksgiving all the time! Except we do a more modern Casserole version of it. Except we use just a tablespoon of OJ (for the whole casserole) to add a little tang. Yams are mashed to ones liking and it's amazing to pair with almost any holiday feast! She got it from our grandparents and the recipe is now mine to continue.

What a snob! I am glad my whole family loves Jell-o desserts. We have gourmet dishes too, but Jello lends itself to imagination AND good taste. These recipes are a little simple but they can be gussied up. Merry Christmas to you haute gastronomes from us humble experimenters. They are not all winning recipes but they stir up the desire to get creative.

Oooooh! You forgot the carbonated egg nog. You poured equal parts ice cold 7-Up and chilled rich milk together in a tall glass. It tasted pretty good and had that soda pop snap, until you realized the milk was curdling really fast. And breaking into icky, grainy curds. Seven-Up did really print that in a magazine.

Is eggnog the American version to a drink we have in the UK (mostly at Xmas) called advaakat? (a thick yellow alcohol beverage that can be mixed with lemonade & a cherry to become a 'snowball'?
I absolutely love snowballs! From a young age my mum n dad would let me have a very weak version at Xmas.

Oh now I know where Mom got her jellied salads ideas from. she added cottage cheese to jello with fruit. no mayo. And jello appeared with salad I it a few times but I think Dad and us 4 kids were so unimpressed she focused on fruit jello creations with the cottage cheese. She's 94 and still loves her jello.

My eyes lit up when I saw hot Dr Pepper! Everyone thinks I'm weird when I mention it. They used to have it at our high school football games (it was the mid-70s in Colorado) It was a welcome warmer on those cold fall & winter nights. I like mine with an orange slice

Some hot homemade red wine with cinamon stiks, a bit of sugar and pepper, poured in a mug over a slice of orange. That's how we do things for the Hollydays. All these recipes sound interesting though. Might try some of them.

The hot Dr. Pepper is not bad. I remember parties when I was a kid and my Mom and the other ladies making all those jello salads. Some weren't bad, but I do remember a sardine-jello mold that still gives me nightmares!

Surely theres some weird history about the history of safes/vaults? I ask because theres these videos showing how they open with really complex (for the time) sequences, design mechanics, and elaborate keys.

The only one appealing is the Fun-Do. Hot Dr Pepper sounds mildly interesting; easy to make and if you don't like it, not much waste. Marshmallow yams are an abomination.

Flaming Dr P was really popular at one bar I went to in korea. Those things would get you messed up in no time. Had a buddy drink too many of them and end up in a turtle ditch

I never understood the yam casserole with marshmallows on top. One thing my new England ancestors often obsessed about cole slaw - you need a salad with all those rich dishes.

I love me some celery with my chicken wings, but if you ever put celery in my f-in jello, you can just see yourself right out the door. I want you out of my life.

In the movie Blast From the Past, Christopher Walker's character drank hot Dr. Pepper while he was constructing the fall out shelter! Funny!

My mother never liked drinking coffee, but she loved coffee gelatin. It gets served with plain (not whipped) cream poured over the top.

Not gonna lie, the Winter Wonder Log sounds like it'd be good & something my family would dig. Especially my pistachio-loving dad.
