Orange Cream Gelatin Dessert is an easy dessert that you can make from a few items in the pantry and freezer at any time of the year. It works well for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mother's Day, bridal or baby showers, etc. It is sweet and rich, yet somehow also seems light and refreshing. It is a rather nostalgic dessert as it reminds me a little of an orange push-up ice cream treat from my childhood. Plus, it is a molded gelatin dessert, which always reminds me of the past. As with other gelatin and fruit dishes, someone might call this a "Jello salad" in the United States.

The Pharmacy in Nashville
After reading so many reviews on Urbanspoon, I just had to try The Pharmacy Burger Parlor and Beer Garden in East Nashville. I am SO happy that I did.
They offer TN beef (or you can opt for turkey) burgers, as well as vegetarian and fish burger selections. They also offer house-made wursts and fountain drinks. I love that they know the sources of their meats, etc. and they make the sodas using their own cane-sugar based syrups. Best of all, everything we had was delicious!
I threw caution (and my calorie count) to the wind and ordered the farm burger.
Although I had first heard of putting an egg on top of a burger when I was at a west coast chain called “Fatburger,” this was the first time I had ever indulged…it was wonderful. I’m sure the egg addition was greatly enhanced by the terrific Tennessee bacon, ham and Provence bun made specifically for The Pharmacy. I don’t see myself trying anything else on the food menu…this was just too good to not get it again.
In a rather surprising move, my husband ordered a soda to drink (he does not drink much soda). However, he found his strawberry ginger ale to be too sweet. It was a lucky break for my daughter and me (we had ordered waters)s; we thought it was just right…yum! Definitely worth trying again…but they have some others that sound tempting as well.
I don’t drink beer and we did not have any…so, I have no idea.
Although it is not a place for all occassions, it does offer great locally sourced food and delicious old-fashioned soda fountain beverages.
