Dory Themed Jello Aquariums

-
jellodorytitle6501These are Dory themed jello aquariums. It doesn't get much better than this. 

Ingredients

4 Mason jars
1 two-liter bottle lemon-lime soda, flat
4 oz of clear (unflavored or fruit juice flavor) gelatin
Blue food coloring
Handful of gummy fish (Swedish Fish)
1 bag of gummy Life Savers

Directions

Usually when making this recipe, I unscrew the cap of the soda and let it sit out the night before. This way the soda is flat for when I make the jello the next day. If you do not have time, no worries! In this tutorial I actually used soda that as NOT flat and it still turned out great!
Pour one cup of the flat soda into a large bowl. Then gently sprinkle the gelatin evenly over soda. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften. While that is happening cut your gummy Life Savers into small pieces. I usually cut each piece into four quarters. This is so that they look like “pebbles” on the an aquarium floor. Place them at the bottom of each mason jar.
Then pour 2 cups of the soda in a small pan over medium heat. Right before it is about to boil, stir in the softened gelatin. Keep stirring until the gelatin completely dissolves. This usually takes about 2 minutes or so. Once that is done, remove the pan from the heat and add in the remaining soda and 2 drops of blue food coloring. If you would like the “jello aquarium water” to look darker, add in another drop or two. Stir to combine! Then pour the liquid into your mason jars.
Place the jars in the fridge to chill for several hours until set. Usually I just let them sit overnight.
When you are ready to serve the treat, use a sharp knife to make vertical slits in the gelatin. Make them a bit random.
Then place the fish into the jello aquarium. Make sure you put the fish in various spots and in different positions. Thi way it looks like the fish are swimming!
Make sure you keep the dessert refrigerated until serving. Also once the gummy fish are in the jello, you should serve within 6 hours. Once your kids see this fun dessert, smiles are sure to follow!

Moana Reflection

Moana is the best Disney movie hands down. As I watch I will point out all the many reasons why! Moana is the cutest little kid of all time  The animation is fantastic It is about the sea  Moana will be the first female leader of their tribe Moana’s grandmother is unbothered by the fact that she is the “island's crazy woman” and she stays true to herself and loves what she loves despite what others think  Moana is a huge improvement from the original Disney princesses. She has a much more realistic body image. She is not perfectly shaped as an hourglass with curves and breasts. She is still very beautiful but what makes her truly beautiful is her internal attributes. She is very active and charismatic and passionate and intelligent. She has many talents that go beyond just singing and looking pretty  Moana could fix the leak in the house but the man could not Every single song in this movie is amazing Their tribe is so friendly and relies on each other to survive

Beauty and the Beast (2017) Reflection

The 2017 version of the Beauty and the Beast is most definitely both new and improved. First of all, any movie with Emma Watson in it is going to be a great movie. I think that she played the role of Belle beautifully. She was a perfect fit to be the lead of this movie for many reason. Disney has been working very diligently to bring light to its name. Many people have been bashing on Disney over the years for portraying negative feminine stereotypes, as well as many other things. I know that Disney made a conscious effort to improve many of the flaws in the original Beauty and the Beast. By choosing Emma Watson they were choosing a woman that is known for standing for women’s rights. Emma is a feminist and has spoken out several times about the importance of equal rights as well as the importance of education for girls. Disney did not choose her to be their lead on accident.  Emma gave Belle a bigger personality than she had in the original film. She is much more independent a

Jeffords Response

Susan Jeffords’ presents many interesting ideas about how Disney films portray masculinity. In my opinion, parts of her article were difficult to understand or stay engaged with. In the beginning of her article, she talked about Ronald Reagan and George Bush and that did not resinate with me. I understand what she was trying to bring forward outside factors aside form Disney, but I think her arguments would have been more powerful if she just got to the point sooner. I thought that her use of Arnold Schwarzenegger, in Kindergarten Cop was more effective. I like that this type of film  was compared to Disney films. I think her claim that, Kindergarten Cop sends the message that “tough, hard-driving, violent, and individualistic” men are not like that by choice, is very interesting. And I honestly think this is a valid claim. In our society, men are expected to be the tough ones. They should not be emotional, vulnerable, weak, or dependent. While women are sexualized and made to feel l
