"If you ride in a car over bumpy roads holding a bowl of Jello on your lap, you can watch it jiggle until you reach your destination." That demonstrates how to use "jiggle" in a sentence.
Jello is a part of North American culture. By 1930, there appeared a vogue in American cuisine for congealed salads, and the company introduced lime-flavoured Jell-O, to complement the add-ins that cooks across the country were combining in these aspics and salads. Popular Jell-O recipes often included ingredients like cabbage, celery, green peppers, and even cooked pasta. These are well-known childhood memories for most of us.
One savory recipe collected by the Des Moines Register, published in Iowa, is for a tomato soup gelatin salad. The salad, served chilled, is made from lemon gelatin, tomato soup, cream cheese, stuffed olives combined with various other ingredients and seasonings. This is not a memory for me.
Did you know that Jell-O is popular among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church)? The Mormon Corridor region, which has the highest Mormon populations, was nicknamed the "Jell-O Belt." In 2002, the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City issued a commemorative pin featuring green Jell-O.
And the Jello jokes:
I was arrested for having jello in the shape of a gun in my bag The officers charged me for having a congealed weapon
What's the difference between The Sahara and Jello One is an inhospitalble desert and the other is an in hospital dessert.
Why is a box of Jello mix always substantially larger than the contents within? You need to allow some wiggle room.
Did you hear the joke about jello? Took a while to set in but it sure gave me a jiggle
Oh oh - the breaking news is that we're not supposed to travel far from home. How far are the orchard blossoms? Definitely Burlington isn't home so will I be able to visit RBG? We missed the cherry blossoms last spring with the gardens closed.
Can I even drive through Niagara Falls? I don't think so this year. And all those daffodils and the Magnolia Allee to be missed another year.
Is it essential to go to Harvest Barn or 13th Street Bakery in St. Catharines for cherry tarts?
Here are a few more images from the John Street orchards for today's photos.
That was Arnold Schwarzenegger. He said: "It's simple. If it jiggles, it's fat"
After the Easter meals and chocolates I wonder about this question. Why does fat jiggle? While I don't have the answer from my searching this morning, I find out a few thing. Muscle jiggles too, but it is heavier nd more dense. And then there is the distinction between different kinds of fat. It appears that not all fat does jiggle. There are different ways in which our bodies store fat. There is soft fat and hard fat.
1. Subcutaneous - This is the soft fat that is squishy and jiggly. It is held underneath the skin. This subcutaneous fat is what we see as rolls or as dimpled cellulite. It has mind of its own and you cannot flex it or suck it in. You cannot hold your breath and have a double chin tighten or a flabby arm feel firm. This fat is the ugly stuff that is shunned by society.
2. Visceral - It sits deep inside the abdominal cavity and it surrounds the vital organs. It has greater access to the blood supply than soft fat because of its location within the abdomen. Clearly it is the more dangerous fat.
What about the fat jiggling machines? This is a vibrating slimming belt that is supposed to jiggle the fat away. A recent article says they have these benefits: strengthening bone density in postmenopausal women, improved muscle strength in elderly adults, and improved balance in elderly adults. They don't help with weight loss, muscle toning or muscle sculpting. I could check out my local Y to see if it has a machine. These are now in gyms as an added bonus for strengthening exercises.
