Chillovers and Birthday Celebrations

I was finally able to make and try the chillover powder I purchased from MaryJanes Farm kitchen store. Chillover powder is a gelling powder like gelatin but better. It is made with a sea vegetable powder rather than leftover cow parts like Jello gelatin is made from.

I made the one that MaryJane shows in her Ideabook-Cookbook-Lifebook she called the 'Goodness Gracious' which has the chillover powder, cooked chicken, carrots, shallots, parsley, green peas, bell pepper, celery, and cooked eggs among other stuff in it. It turned out great. I used my vintage mold that I purchased awhile back and look how pretty it looked.





Goodness Gracious



I say looked because there were 14 of us gals at the Chick luncheon who tried it. We had other desserts on the table as well as a yummy soup, which Cheryl, our Hen Honcho made for us.

The 'Layered Suprise' chillover was made with the chillover powder, sugar, egg yolks, milk, vanilla, heavy cream, a banana and chocolate wafers. It was very light but yummy as well. This is only two ways of using Chillover and I hope to make other things in the future from it.

Along with our luncheon we had celebrated four birthdays so you can only imagine the fun we had watching each one open their gifts and trying to see what the other one got. Let me tell you, when you get that many women in a room and with celebrations going on, it is sometimes hard to hear let alone keep up on everything going on at once. No matter, we always enjoy being together and having loads of fun.
