In your slimy bonnet, with all the mayo upon it, you'll be the weirdest lady in the Easter quarantine

This seems like the year to go for a very practical Easter bonnet. Who needs one to wear when you can't go anywhere? What we need is an edible Easter bonnet, but not one that takes anything fancy-- Something that can be made from common pantry staples.

Well, given my love of Jell-O based "salads," it can't be much of a surprise that I've found a gelatin bonnet! The Mary Margaret McBride Encyclopedia of Cooking Deluxe Illustrated Edition (1959) is proud to present...

... a huge daisy with flies crawling on it? No-- a baby with three bows in its hair but no face? No-- it is an Easter bonnet.

All it takes is two boxes of lime gelatin (whip part of one for a different texture!) and plenty of orange-juice-flavored mayonnaise. Happy Easter! (And who knows, maybe if you quadruple the gelatin content to make it nearly solid and nail this thing to the front door, it will scare the plague away from your house? It's worth a try.)
