This is for all Harry Potter fans. It’s long overdue, but everybody can finally access Pottermore! Including me! It’s awesome and I have spent lots of time in it already. Consider myself addicted to it already. For those who are not familiar with Pottermore, it’s a website developed by Sony and J.K. Rowling where the Harry Potter story becomes interactive. Every chapter has two or three pages where users can click places and collect objects, make potions, challenge friends on a duel, get sorted by the Sorting Hat, etc! I can officially say that I am Slytherin. To be honest I always saw myself more as a Ravenclaw or Gryffindor, but I guess it’s okay. The reason why this is in my blog it’s because it’s creative! Even though creativity is somewhat limited, it’s just amazing how the author comes up with all these details: names, potions, courses, how someone looks or how something looks, places, etc.

It’s now open to public, so if you don’t have an account yet, make one!


Great idea for a summer party or an under the sea themed party.

Ingredients

  • 1 two-liter bottle lemon-lime soda, flat
  • 4 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin
  • 2 drops blue food coloring
  • 2 ounces gummy fish

Directions

  1. Place 1 cup soda in a large bowl. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over soda, and let stand to soften, about 5 minutes.
  2. Place 2 cups soda in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat until just before a boil. Add the softened gelatin, stirring to dissolve the gelatin completely over the heat, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Add the remaining soda and food coloring, and stir to combine. Pour the liquid into the fish bowl. Using a damp paper towel, carefully remove any bubbles that have formed on the surface. Transfer to the refrigerator to chill overnight.
  3. When ready to serve, use a sharp knife to make vertical slits in the gelatin; insert the fish in a random pattern to make it look as though they are swimming in the bowl. Keep refrigerated until serving. Serve within 6 hours.

Important notice: DO NOT USE BLUE JELLO POWDER! The water will turn really dark blue and make it look more like a swamp than clear water.

Seriously! These birds have some issues… Geez! lol


Sometimes creativity is about looking things from another perspective…. this time from a shark perspective.
