Woke up from restless
night, read, played my games, bathroom a couple of times and then a
horrific dream. I was visiting what appeared to be hillbilly friends
in the mountains. There were people all over the house and they were
all asking me to solve various problems. Would I deposit a check for
someone, would I take someone to town etc. Then all of a sudden we
were fleeing from a combination volcanic eruption and forest fire in
a rickety vehicle that I was driving. I couldn't find my purse. So
finally got about half the people loaded up and drove down a very
narrow road, crashing through fences and over ditches and finally
crashed into some kind of research station and it looked like we were
going to have to get out here and get off the mountain using alternate
transportation. I dunno know. Husband woke me and I was very glad to wake from that dream,
purse was located in its usual location. One good thing? We are
going to my appointment at 9 am in Myrtle Point and then eating out
at Kozy Kitchen.
We toddled off to
breakfast, he ordered veggie omelet and I ordered Belgian waffles
with strawberries and whipped cream. Yum.
As we sat there munching
away, I told him my stupid dream.
I also said, “I learned
a new internet word while I was looking up Volcano on the dream web
site.”
“Oh, what was the word?”
“Vlogging.”
“What!?”
“Vlogging is apparently
a You Tube video posted by people on how to something. For instance
I when I looked up how to make Gorgonzola Steak Sauce. I didn't know
it was called Vlogging... for Video blogging.”
He looked at me and asked,
“Why would you want to make Golden Jello sauce?”.
“ Gorgon ZOLA steak
sauce!”
We blinked a couple of
times, and started giggling like a crazy. The waitress came over and
asked and we had to explain what had happened and she got the
giggles.
After that all anyone had
to say was Golden Jello Sauce and the giggles started again.
Oh, and the dream symbol
for Volcano is all about losing control of your emotions. Like when
you get the giggles over someone mentioning Golden Jello Sauce.
This also prompted a
childhood memory that I then related to husband. Several decades ago one of
the Aunt's was visiting and we were all sitting around the kitchen
table yakking away. Somehow different recipes were being discussed
and she contributed her part, “I have a recipe for lemon jello with
tuna fish....” dead silence. Mom knew we were all primed for a
round of very rude sniggering so she leapt up to get her recipe box
in preparation of writing it down. I excused myself down the hall to
howl in the bathroom and flush several times. Social disaster
narrowly averted. Maybe she could have called it Golden Jello salad.....
Now, remember that the main ingredients in our
childhood dinners consisted of meat, potatoes and dessert. Mom had
tons of recipe using Jello. We had NO idea that jello could be used
in a savory recipe. Dad's idea of salad was a wedge of iceberg with
Thousand Island dressing smeared all over. Or perhaps whole radishes to be dipped in salt. The main dishes were
spaghetti, hamburgers, roasts, chili, fried chicken, potatoes in all
kinds of casseroles and many, many desserts. If anyone remembers any other jello horrors, do let me know.
