I mentioned that we had s'mores while camping. I don't really like s'mores, but I love toasting marshmallows. When I was in high school I spent many a night alone as my folks both worked at night and would come home usually around 10. I got bored, so between studies, I would adjourn to the kitchen for a little fun.
One of the things I loved doing was to light a candle, take out a little fork, and toast marshmallows. Heaven knows how many I would do! I would slowly burn, blow out, burn, blow out, until the outside was thoroughly burnt. I would envelope the marshmallow in my mouth and slip off the outer layer. Then I would proceed to do the same to the remainder. Three sessions was about par for the course, but a brilliant session could result in four. Just imagine how much time I could "burn" with half a sack of marshmallows.
Well, last night I got out the candle, lit it, got a tiny pickle fork, and tried out my expertise. I had enough carbs left to do four without blowing my blood sugar too high. Talk about a walk down memory lane.
Amy is the best toaster I have ever witnessed. She can toast for a long time without burning and without losing the marshmallow into the fire. I have tried to include a picture with this blog, did not succeed, so I will try to do the marshmallow picture tomorrow.
Have a great day!

Oh yes, I used to use the gas burner on Mom and Dad's gas stove in the winter! But you were much more advanced than I getting to "re" toast the inner layers! I was content to burn the outside and that was it!
Hannah was making waffles when I got home ~ so I got a waffle HOT off the iron! What a sweet girl!!
