The pieced blocks are Broken Dishes. At least that's what I know them as. They could have a different name in other places.

Have you ever read your car's owner manual? The size of the gas tank will show metric, imperial gallons, and U.S. gallons! And what is a Troy ounce?

My mother made lime jello with cottage cheese, crushed pineapple, and chopped walnuts in the '50s. All 9 of us loved it and we 4 girls still make it for our families.
