Moo Goo

My Kiva loan this month was to Bolivian Señora C., who sells bovine gelatin and wants to invest in freezers to protect her product.
   I buy bovine (moo!) gelatin (goo!): I buy it from Great Lakes; theirs is made from grass fed cows. I use it to make stuff like homemade marshmallows. This recipe is easy and pleasing. My modifications: I heat it until it looks good (don't own a candy thermometer) and I use a hand mixer (don't own a stand mixer).
   I realize that "heat it until it looks good" is not prescriptive or directive in the way recipes usually are. But that's how I cook. I measure with smells and tastes and sounds, not cups and minutes.
   I measure, but not with tools that can be shared.
