Seeing Red...and Lemon and Cherry Blocks

Everything seems a bit red today..

A Ladybird

Geraniums

Strawberries

and even our dessert...

Lemon and Cherry Blocks

This is the  most simple 1940s dessert I have made so far... Taken from the Better Homes and Gardens Magazine May 1943, its two different flavour jellos cut into cubes... with a few pineapple chunks thrown in for good measure. 

Served with some of the Lemon Molasses Cookies I made last week.. it was a sweet and fun end to our meal
