Congealed
salad | |
| SYLLABICATION: | con·gealed salad |
| PRONUNCIATION: | k n-j ld' |
| NOUN: | Chiefly Southern U.S. A molded salad made of flavored gelatin and other ingredients such as chopped fruits or vegetables, cottage cheese, or marshmallows. |
Congealed salads come in a variety of forms and flavors. Much of the allure of these salads, in my opinion, stems from one of their chief ingredients, Jell-O. I mean who couldn't love Jell-O? It's truly one of the most wonderful of foods and there is so much you can do with it. According to "Jell-O: A Biography," by Carolyn Wyman (Harcourt, 2001), Jell-O is not only a delicious food, it can even be used as finger paint or hair dye!
Since Thanksgiving is coming up, I thought I would list a few recipes for congealed salad that might liven up your usual holiday offerings (taken from the "What You Need to Know About" website):
Cranberry Jell-O Salad
In a bowl, combine gelatin with
boiling water. Stir until gelatin is dissolved; stir in applesauce. Place cream
cheese in a separate mixing bowl. Gradually add gelatin mixture to cream cheese,
beating until smooth. Chill mixture until partially set; stir in celery.
Open chilled cranberry sauce and cut into small cubes. Fold into the gelatin
mixture. Turn mixture into a 1 1/2-quart mold and chill until set. Unmold onto a
serving plate lined with lettuce or kale, if desired.
Ginger Ale Fruit Mold
Dissolve gelatin in 1 cup of heated
ginger ale; set aside to cool. Add 1 cup cold ginger ale. Chill until partially
set; stir in diced fruit, chopped pecans and candied ginger. Pour into a 1-quart
mold. Chill until firm; unmold on lettuce leaves. Serve with
mayonnaise.
Serves 4.
Pineapple Lime Congealed Salad
Dissolve the gelatin in boiling
water. Add crushed pineapple and chopped fruit or berries and chill until
somewhat thickened, about 1 1/2 hours. Stir in sour cream and pour into a 1
1/2-quart ring mold. Chill until set.
Makes about 10 servings.
And one from the Jell-O
website:
Creamy Fruited Lime Salad
Stir boiling water into gelatin in large bowl at least 2 minutes until completely dissolved. Stir in pineapple. Refrigerate 1 1/4 hours or until slightly thickened (consistency of unbeaten egg whites).Stir cottage cheese into cream cheese in separate bowl until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping until smooth. Beat into slightly thickened gelatin with wire whisk until well blended. Stir in walnuts and cherries. Pour into 6-cup mold sprayed with no stick cooking spray.Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Unmold. Surround with lettuce leaves, if desired. Store leftover salad in refrigerator.
What are some of your favorite congealed salad recipes? Why not plan to bring them to the next Chapter meeting and share with your colleagues? I know you'll be glad you did!!!
O.K., sorry 'bout that. This column has grown out of the discussion concerning congealed salads on the listserv. So, since I couldn't think of anything real interesting to write about this go-around, you got congealed salads. Bless your lucky stars, 'cause the only other thing on my mind these days is wedding planning and you definitely don't want me to start ranting about that, trust me!
However, I do want to encourage
everyone to attend the meeting in Bowling Green on the 14th of November. We have
a fantastic speaker coming and we will be meeting with the Southern Appalachian
Chapter to discuss plans for the Nashville conference. AND, the cost is cheap in
anyone's book, $15.00 or $5.00 for student members. What a bargain! Also, we
won't be that far from my old stomping grounds in Ohio County! Hope to see you
there!

Greetings from the UK student Chapter!
-- Submitted by Christine Wysocki,
Student Chapter President
We're having a busy semester, as several of
our members are graduating in December or have otherwise begun their job search.
Despite the chaos, we've managed to create some really positive SLA
experiences.
In September SLA and KLA hosted our annual "Get to Know SLA" pizza party and information session. It was a blast, and we had a huge turnout! We got to meet a lot of the incoming students that were new this fall, and we found out about some of their interests. Of course, I gravitated towards the museums and archives types, but there was also a woman interested in news libraries and a man interested in library technology.
The UK School of Library and Information Science hosted a booth at the multicultural career fair, and several SLA student members (and non-members too!) helped Dennis Carrigan represent our exciting field. This turned out to be a really fun outreach opportunity, and people seemed really interested in the program.
Shawn Livingston came by the student computing center recently and gave us the information resources pep talk. His guest visits are a highlight of the semester for many (overwhelmed) students. Super-achiever Ginny Norris coordinated his visit, so hats off to her for bringing him to us.
Next we'll be having our semester meeting to begin planning for the Spring. It seems like Veterans' Day, November 11, is a likely Tuesday for our meeting, probably at 5:00. Of course, everyone is welcome, and we'll send out an official notice soon.
Thanks for all the state chapter
support! We appreciate all of your warm invitations and your guest appearances
in our programs. Your presence in SLIS really makes a difference.
Moving, Growing, Expanding Horizons
--Submitted by Constance Ard,
Director-at-large
As some of you know, Greenebaum, Doll, and McDonald has been going through a remodeling process. During this process in the Louisville office the library has born the brunt of several moves.
We have been challenged to find space for items when shelving has been demolished and temporary space is filled to capacity. We've been challenged to find items that have been "stored" due to the move and provide quality service to users who don't realize the impact of a move of library materials on library services.
I am proud to say that the library staff has met those challenges and embraced the opportunity to improve library services. We can find materials that are in temporary space if the need arises. However, we do our best to expand the horizons of our information resources. Is there a better way to get the information that does not require us to go to the bowels of the basement?
Often it is a reliance on our fellow librarians when the information is older. We have also become very familiar with the resources that are found on such treasures as Hein-Online. This resource allows us to find those old Kentucky Law Reports from 1960 with a few clicks and a few minutes of waiting while we print the .pdf documents.
So what about the times when online sources didn't work? We looked internally to our other libraries in Lexington and Covington. Technology is a savior here too. We are able to scan a document into .pdf format and e-mail or fax directly from the copier to the person in need of the information. This is a quick and easy way to share information and has become one of our favorite tools of the trade.
So while moves are challenging in
regards to finding information that used to be on the shelf, we have found that
it is also a true opportunity to expand our delivery methods. So while
everything is not "online," today's technology has certainly improved the speed
of delivery.
Membership Notes
--Submitted by Stacey Greenwell,
Bulletin Editor
We're delighted to announce (though a little sad) that Veronica Walker has accepted a position at North Carolina State University Libraries. The title is Head, Monographs Cataloging with the responsibility of overseeing the work of seven staff members who catalog all types of materials in various languages and formats, mainly for the sciences and technology disciplines. Veronica's last day at UK is December 19, and she'll start at NCSU December 29. She has been involved in the Kentucky Chapter for some time, holding several leadership positions (including Treasurer at this time), and she was our 2000-01 Outstanding Chapter Member. We wish you the all the best at NCSU. We'll miss you, Veronica.
We've learned that our Secretary, Larry Richmond, has just published an article:
"The Pro Se Patron: An Ethical Rather Than A Legal Dilemma," 22 Legal Reference Service Quarterly 75 (2003).
Abstract:
The author contends,
based on articles published in recent years discounting the legal obligation of
law librarians to pro se patrons, that law librarians have a paramount ethical
obligation not to cause harm, and thus to avoid the practice of law from the
reference desk. As a result, the attorney patron and the pro se patron cannot be
afforded the same level of legal reference service. The attorney is the
conversant intermediary between the legal materials (and the librarian) and the
client, whereas the pro se patron is the client with a layman's dearth of basic
legal knowledge.
Congratulations on this
publication, Larry!
Central Kentucky Radio Eye - We Read so Others Can
See
--Submitted by Jo Staggs-Neel, Recruitment and Retention
Committee Chair
What would your life be like if you could no longer see these words? How would it affect your daily life if you no longer had access to newspapers and magazines, or even simple publications like pamphlets from your doctor's office?
Central Kentucky Radio Eye is a volunteer-based 24/7 Radio Reading Service that broadcasts live and recorded readings of newspapers and other everyday literature, including health periodicals, to people who are no longer able to read, due to visual or physical disability. The majority of listeners are over 60 years old and blind or visually impaired. But others are print handicapped because of disabilities which prevent them from holding or turning a page.
Morning readings include state, regional and local newspapers, such as the Lexington Herald-Leader, The Louisville Courier-Journal, The Richmond Register, The Jessamine Journal, The Frankfort State Journal, The Danville Advocate-Messenger, The Winchester Sun, and The Mt. Sterling Advocate, as well as programs and readings from books, magazines and health periodicals such as Health Corner (periodicals from the Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Harvard Health, etc.), The Grocery Show (news of local grocery prices and sales), the Kentucky Series (readings from The Kentucky Explorer and The Lane Report, and other Kentucky literature), AARP News, and Women's Health Corner.
Afternoon and evening broadcasts are provided through CKRE's affiliation with the "In Touch" Network in New York, and include such national periodicals as The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Readers' Digest, The New Yorker, Christian Science Monitor, People's Pharmacy, Ebony, and Newsweek.
CKRE was founded by Dr. Alfred Crabb and began broadcasting its Radio Readings Service in November 1990. The broadcast serves a potential audience (in an approximate 80 mile radius from Lexington) of over 1,500 people, and is done on a closed-circuit frequency accessible on a special pre-tuned radio lent to eligible listeners for as long as they need or want the service. The Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., reading of the Lexington Herald Leader is also broadcast on cable channel 20 (the Library Channel), enabling CKRE to potentially reach into any of the 80,000 homes, hospitals, and retirement and nursing homes served by Lexington Insight Cable TV.
CKRE's success depends entirely on the loyalty, dedication and talent of both the on-air and behind-the-scenes volunteers. During 2002, over 80 volunteers contributed many thousands of hours, making live and recorded readings, operating the control board, researching material, scheduling readers, repairing and mailing radios, answering the phone and keeping records, and helping with the newsletter and program guide. Very few volunteers come from a broadcasting background, but all share a common desire to bring the printed word to listeners.
