Across the Universe

Hyuck!! This week Raven and Campbell discuss animated food, road trips, and possibly the best soundtrack from the 90s in the 1995 animated film, A Goofy Movie. Where to watch: Disney+   The Goof Recipe*: - 1 3oz packet orange colored jello - 1 3oz packet yellow colored jello - 1 3oz packet red colored jello - 1.5 cups vodka - 3 cup boiling water - 1.5 cups cold water   *Each packet makes 1-2 dozen jello shots depending on container size. You will not need all of this jello to construct the pizza (wink wink).   For each jello color, pour 1 cup of boiling water and 1 jello packet into a heat-proof bowl and stir until combined. Add ½ cup cold water and ½ cup vodka. Pour into a mold or container** and allow to set in the fridge, preferably overnight. Cut and shape different jello layers (e.g., orange for the crust, yellow for the cheese, and red for the pepperonis).    **Note: thinner layers will set more firmly; recommend no more than 3/4 inch thick.   You can support us by donating to: Education Through Music at https://www.classy.org/give/442371/#!/donation/checkout The D’Addario Foundation: http://www.daddariofoundation.org/about/donate  Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation: https://www.mhopus.org/donate/    Email us at [email protected] or comment your musical requests or cocktail recommendations!
