Rainbow Jelly Shooter

So it's been awhile since I did a Bottom's Up post. I am a fan of Jello Shots. I like Jello, and well shots!!!




Rainbow Jelly Shooter

Suggested pan: 9" x 13" cake pan, or molds
Yield:  about 45 jelly shots
Garnish: Maraschino cherries, if desired

If flexible silicon molds are used, prepare the molds with a quick spray or wipe of vegetable oil, then wipe the molds clean with a clean paper towel.  This will leave a slight residue to assist in unmolding, but will not affect the taste or appearance of your jelly shots.  

Red Layer
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 envelopes Knox gelatin
  • 1 box 3 oz box cherry or strawberry gelatin dessert
  • 1 cup flavored vodka (we recommend Hangar One, Buddha's Hand citrus infused vodka, but your favorite will work just fine!)

Pour water in small saucepan, sprinkle with Knox gelatin.  Allow to soak for a minute or two.  Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved, approximately 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add the gelatin dessert mix, stir until dissolved.  Stir in the vodka.  Pour into pan and refrigerate until fully set, about an hour.  

Yellow Layer
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 envelopes Knox gelatin
  • 1 box 3 oz box lemon gelatin dessert
  • 1 cup flavored vodka  (we recommend Hangar One, Buddha's Hand citrus infused vodka, but your favorite will work just fine!)

Pour water in small saucepan, sprinkle with Knox gelatin.  Allow to soak for a minute or two.  Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved, approximately 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add the gelatin dessert mix, stir until dissolved.  Stir in the vodka.  Allow mixture to cool to room temperature, then pour over the set red layer and refrigerate until fully set, about an hour.  

(Note, if you are garnishing with maraschino cherries, add them immediately after the yellow layer is poured in.  Cut the very bottoms off the cherries so they will stand upright.)  

Blue Layer
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 envelopes Knox gelatin
  • 1 box 3 oz box Berry Blue gelatin dessert
  • 1 cup flavored vodka (we recommend Hangar One, Buddha's Hand citrus infused vodka, but your favorite will work just fine!)

Pour water in small saucepan, sprinkle with Knox gelatin.  Allow to soak for a minute or two.  Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved, approximately 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.  Add the gelatin dessert mix, stir until dissolved.  Stir in the vodka.  Allow mixture to cool to room temperature, then pour over the set red and yellow layers and refrigerate until fully set, several hours or overnight.  (Its ideal to let this chill overnight so the layers can fully bond.)

Mandalay - It's Enough Now

I am having a love affair with this song. Like many, but this is my current muse for life. It is simply beautiful. I was introduced to this song through a friend. They send me originals of hip hop songs so it makes listening to music much more fun. So I will be posting the hip hop song as well.

A little history on the group. Mandalay is a trip hop group (this is probably my go to music as of lately), but what catches me is Nicola Hitchcock's vocals. It is so peaceful just to listen too. And of course my love for anything with violin's. I read that she worked with Tiesto on a track so I'll have to check that out. But accorording to wikipedia, they were tagged as Madonna's favorite band for a little while. Awesome!!!!

Hope you love it!

Azealia Banks ft. Lazy Jay - 212




I forgot to blog about this song when I first heard it, but saw it over again at GhostGoth and brought it on here. Ya I'm keeping my eye out for her. She's younger then me and got these skills. Sorry if this song makes you a little uncomfortable. But she's gonna blow I promise! Doing pretty good in the UK, so I think we'll be seeing more of her in the future :)

Priscilla Ahn - Dream






Korean American Singer Priscilla Ahn

Pure Talent

My goal is to show you great music on this site. Not everyone will agree with me, and some songs I post just for fun. But artists like Priscilla are good portrayals of the word "talent". And another goal is to represent as much hapa-ness as I can :)

Artist Spotlight : Chor Boogie

"Chor Boogie, born Jason Hailey in 1979. He was handed a paint brush at the mere age of five from his kindergarten grade school teacher, started painting and fell in love with the creative process immediately, telling his teacher "When I grow up I am going to be an artist." Thus overtime Chor Boogie was exposed to the spray paint medium along with many other trials and tribulations that changed his life and formed this learning lesson we live in. 

A deep spiritual healing and recovery from addiction nearly a decade ago transformed his life and has had a major impact in his style of color therapy and techniques of creative innovativeness. Chor Boogie moved to San Francisco in 2007 and took the leap to pursue a full time career in art. His visionary works ignites the hearts and minds of the masses world wide. There is no color he does not use. He creates a wide range of forms pioneering his inverted can technique which slows down the pressure of the paint and creates dense, rich tones giving room for more detail on a broad perspective. Chor Boogie's dynamic range of artistic styles can manifest as soulful, deftly shaded portraits to color therapy, geometric elements adding up to half hidden faces, and a minds eye or two to encourage you to see internally and externally."






     I am not an artist myself. I don't have that creative mind and talent that many do. But ohhh do I appreciate it. And I especially love graffiti art and spray paint work. So I was very drawn to Chor's work when I saw it, and wanted to feature it here on the page. So take a look. Hope you enjoy it too :)

Rich Neeley Designs

Over at Gadchick this is a little contest going on for these adorable iphone/ipad chargers. Book lovers need to get their hands on these things. Seriously! They are so creative. I have been thinking of doing a little feature on different etsy shops that I like or items that I find while browsing the site. Make myself a little etsy wishlist on this site. This would definitely make the list. I may not read as many books as I like to, but I get totally engrossed when I do. I like the have a book in my hand, just lay on my bed, and read. This would be a cute addition to my room. Look at a few of designs that Rich Neeley Designs has.






head over to Gadchick to take a part in this contest and win one of these cute things!
