No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I have a family tradition of making rainbow jello for Easter. Each color layer gets a thin layer of sweetened condensed milk jello in between to make the colors really pop when it is sliced. It's so pretty. It takes all day. It's one of my favorite things about Easter.
I also make it pretty regularly because I eat gelatin as a nutritional supplement that does seem to help my joint pain a bit. For that I use unflavored fish and beef gelatin and mix it with tart cherry juice in pint jars and chill it or mix it with hot tea or chicken broth.
Wow your second paragraph may have just solved my jello resistance, thanks! You almost lost me at fish and beef tho ๐
Ha. Sorry. For beginners using unflavored gelatin I would recommend the Knox brand packets that are sold next to the regular Jello boxes. They are highly refined and don't have any um... surprising smells... ? The big 2lb jars of unflavored supplement gelatin can be a bit strong when you first add boiling water, but it goes away entirely once it is set in the fridge or dissolved in tea. I could see that putting someone entirely off jello if they were already iffy.
My very favorite is mulberry juice jello, but the only place that sold mulberry juice near me stopped carrying it a couple years back. It's on amazon, but I can't bring myself to buy juice on amazon. Tart cherry is a good sub. https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Juice-Black-Mulberry-Organic/dp/B00J49VLMO/
Thanks! I was a little nervous at the thought of beef jello but I'll try the Knox brand first. Two pounds sounds like a lot but what do I know? I'm gonna try coconut ๐
Ever had any braised beef dish? Or a really good beef soup?
You know, now that you mention it, I have had some kind of gelatinous fish preparation, and it was pretty good! I didn't eat it cold, but I do eat cold fish. I'm not sure about braised beef ( very likely) and I have had beef stew if that counts?
If that counts, then I made some just a couple days ago as a by-product of my carnitas.
I make it at least once every two months when I make chicken soup (I use Adam Ragusea's whole chicken recipe, the soup is like 90% gelatin)
I make "chicken jello" for the cats on a weekly basis. It's their favorite.
