23 July 1967 - WORLD'S FIRST IVF BABY BORN: England's Lesley and John
Brown welcome Louise Joy, their newborn daughter and the world's first
child conceived with the help of what will later be called 'in vitro
fertilization,' or IVF. Although the press dubs Louise a 'test-tube
baby,' she was in fact conceived in a petri dish.

Louise Joy Brown (born 25 July 1978) is an English woman who was the
first human to have been born after conception by in vitro fertilisation
experiment (IVF). Her birth, following a procedure pioneered in Britain,
has been lauded among "the most remarkable medical breakthroughs of the
20th Century."

      Title: Petri Dish Jello Shots
 Categories: Five, Booze, Novelty, Dairy
      Yield: 20 Shots
 
      9 oz (3 boxes) Jello gelatin
  1 1/2 c  Vodka
    1/4 oz Env unflavored gelatin
      2 tb Sour cream
           Decorating gels (like Dec-A-
           - Cake Writing Gel)
 
  Toss your bottle of vodka in the freezer, ice cold works
  best.
  
  Choose some nice contrasting Jello colors for maximum
  effect. Pour each packet of jello into a separate bowl.
  
  Boil 3 cups of water and pour 3/4 cup of boiling water
  into each bowl.
  
  Stir vigorously until all powder is dissolved.
  
  Add 1/2 cup cold water/cold vodka mixture. (The ratio is
  up to you, but together they should total 1/2 cup.) I
  usually do 1/4 vodka and a 1/4 water and they are very
  firm when done, so you can certainly increase the vodka,
  if you wish. Just remember the more vodka, the softer
  the end product.
  
  Pour into dishes (there is a line around the dish that
  you don't want to fill past).
  
  Place in the fridge for 1 hour with the lids off.
  
  Make your microorganisms: Pour 1/4 cup water into a
  small microwave safe dish.
  
  Sprinkle the gelatin packet (I use Knox) over the water
  and allow it to absorb for 5 minutes.
  
  Microwave for 20-25 seconds to dissolve gelatin.
  
  Stir in the sour cream, mix until smooth.
  
  Pour mixture into a ziploc and allow to cool, kneading
  from time to time.
  
  Mixture should be cool, but still runny. If it's getting
  to solid just pop it back in the microwave for a few
  seconds.
  
  Cut a corner of the bag and drip gooey "bacteria" and
  "fungus" onto your culture dishes.
  
  Top the biggest cultures with some contrasting
  decorating gel.
  
  Put back in the fridge for another 15 minutes.
  
  NOTE: you can buy Petri Dishes w/lid from Amazon for
  U$12.99 per sleeve of 90mm dishes
