"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
To give credit where due this is Carolyn's Cottage Cheese Pineapple Salad.
It is required at all Reiter holiday tables, hence known as John's Jello.
Carolyn makes it with real whipped cream. TO DIE FOR! We cheat with Cool Whip because we are lazy. If you never had hers you won't know what you are missing.

I choose Jello flavor depending on what is on hand/what color I want on the table/whatever John requests.
