Add 1 cup of boiling water and stir until the gelatin is completely dissolved. <p> <li><b>Important!</b> Let the gelatin mixture COOL to room temperature. <p> <li>When the gelatin mixture is cool, add 3/4 cup of the sherbet, and mix in with the beater or whisk. <p> </ul> <li>One color at a time, carefully pour the "pudding" mixtures into the glass dish. Pour the colors in this order:<br> <ul> <li>Purple (bottom)<br> <li>Green<br> <li>Yellow<br> <li>Red (top) <p> </ul> <li>Put the pudding into the refrigerator until it is completely set. <p> <li>Now for the artistic part. When you are ready to serve, scoop out the servings at an angle so that you can see all the different layers from the top. Depending on how much you like whipped cream, make it look a little like one of these TOPEX satellite images of the Pacific Ocean with the El Niño condition. Use the whipped cream to make the white "El Niño." <p> </ol> <center> <a href="el_nino_patterns.htm"><img src="el_nino1_box.gif" width="100" height="100" border="0"><img src="el_nino2_box.gif" width="100" height="100" border="0"><img src="el_nino4_box.gif" width="100" height="100" border="0"></a></center> <p><a name="patterns"></a>Of course, when you're tired of being artistic, eat the rest of the pudding!
