Jello

So I did it.  
Worse than burning water- I wrecked probably the easiest thing ever.  
Yup- Jello.  


Don't ask me how I did it (but I wouldn't recommend using the quick-prep instructions on the box), just know, there was a whole lotta water, and a whole lotta leather like substance- but not a whole lotta anything that met in the middle.  


Where is the middle really?  Where is the middle that's perfection?  Where is the balance... not too soupy, not too hard?  And how does it get that way?  Clearly, if it's too hard, things will bounce off, deflected.  If it's too soupy, things sink right in.  And then it's never the same.  


So whats better?  Keeping things out.  Protecting the inside?  Or is it better to let things in- making little holes as those things go right through?  


Just "food" for thought I guess.  Where's the middle?  Where is perfection?  Is perfection just simple satisfaction?
