3 days and counting

i read the colonoscopy prep instructions today and found that i am forbidden to eat red jello or drink fruit punch 24 hrs before 'the probe'..normally, i'll have a glass of punch about once every decade or two; but knowing that i'm now faced with a solid 24 hour block of my life without the possibility of the fruity nectar...well, i 've been guzzling down crystal lite like a champ. now jello, mind you, has never been much of a culinary temptation. i mean, what is jello anyway? well, it turns out that gelatin is the result of 'melting down' a bunch of horse hooves, bones, connective tissue, organs, and whatever else they couldnt cram into a hotdog. throw in a little red dye (which by the way, is derived from a parasite that lives in cacti) and you got yourself a fun, jiggly bowl of strawberry jello..and you thought bill cosby was your friend..
