First off, I'm drawing another winner for Lick It! Instead of managing for myself, I rely on Jim to scan the number for me so I can post it, but he's at work. And I'm impatient, after having our DSL down for 2 days. So now is the time and you're just going to have to trust me. The new winner is #28, For the Love of Guava! Congratulations, G! Please send me your mailing address so I can get your book in the mail. I know you are going to love it!
I'm hoping to host another book contest in the near future, so stay tuned.
Now....A while ago I was contacted by Simon of Cool Cups about sampling their product. Rather than having them ship them, I just picked some up at Whole Foods on my last visit. They're available in 3 flavors: orange, peach mango and black cherry (our choice). If you liked jello, you will love these. They taste exactly like I remember jello and have the exact same wiggly jiggly consistency. They are so much like jello that I had a hard time not thinking about the horrible ingredients in jello. That was a huge hang up for me. I couldn't get over how these are so mind-bogglingly like jello. But they really are fabulous, once I let me mind go. I've got to say, jello has never had it so good.
These have a lot of cool things going for them (pun intended). Besides the obvious vegan thing, they are GMO, preservative and fat free. The website says they are also high in Vitamin C and only 95 calories. These would be wonderful for patients in hospitals (where vegan food is at a minimum) or for kids lunches.
Their website is now offering a new dry mix. Having been vegetarian or vegan my entire (legal) drinking life, I'm curious if the dry mix would work for vodka jigglers. That just might be a great summer experiment.
Coming next: Food Network Friday! See you then!

eeee..... *GUAVA jumps about Giddily** what a wonderful hint!!! For my book and just to drop by in general.... sorry I've been on an irregular reading schedule... **HUGS TAMSTER** I shall be sending my info along... THANKS!!!!
Yay Guava! Yum, those "jello" cups look good! I'm a sucker for those jello fruit salads..I made one with agar a while ago but I think maybe this might be better. I'm with you with the jello shots! Yes, I will get on the ice cream making..thanks for the kick in the pants..he he he. Did buy the small Cuisinart..just because budget is an issue and I couldn't find a better one for the price. I'll blog about it soon, promise!!
Oh, I miss Jello shots! I'll definitely be stopping by that website! Thanks, Tami!
lol vodka jigglers
that would be awesome
how do you get hooked up with things like that? i've approached kashi on two occasions, with no such luck. i want new stuff for product review fridays, and sometimes money gets in the way. freebies are always nice.
tips?
Guava, congratulations and the book is in the mail.
Amanda, let me know how that ice cream maker works for you. It is the best deal out there! I'm wondering if I should just let mix more. I'll watch your blog.
Aimee and sweetkaroline, maybe we should all get them and do an online vodka jiggler party.
Jen, actually I just bought these at Whole Foods. The nice man from Cool Cups contacted me but then they were having a problem with something (I forget what) and he was delayed in sending them. So I emailed him and told him I'd just pick some up at Whole Foods. Not much of a tip, is it? Sorry, I'm not more help.
I sure do jiggle after vodka...
