I'm going to try making them in the oven. I've used the microwave in the past, but the marshmallows puff up weirdly in that.

My husband is not a s'mores fan. He's never said exactly why, but it could be the marshmallows.

Wow, what a great garden! Something got to my tomato seedlings, which I'd had germinating under a plastic cover in the carport. It nibbled every leaf off all but two of them. The lid was undisturbed, so it must have been some type of insect. Of course I planted the two seedlings I had left, which so...

I have lots of marshmallows left over from that Easter treat. Tonight I bought for s'mores.

For the last few years I've been having nice summer vacations, but starting last year they seem to have been skewed toward June rather than late July/August, which I prefer. In early June I'll be spending a few days in Chicago, courtesy of my older son, who is giving me the trip as a belated Mother'...

Well, after all, it is May. We're a little cooler now (70s) because we had a storm front push through on Weds. In fact, school has been called off yesterday and today due to flooding and downed trees. We see no evidence of either in our neighborhood, but other parts of the county have been affected,...

Ooh, that's kind of eerie.

Ah. I expect that is tasty, though I try to avoid fried chicken when I'm out. I usually go with grilled.

I haven't tried that. What makes it crunchy?

Indeed! Six months off from the big day! And, perhaps, an excuse to screen a horror flick or three.

Just wanted to report that I did finally make those Easter treats I spoke of. It was my daughter's birthday on Sunday, and since I'd already bought for those things back at Easter, I went ahead and made them. They aren't hard--a brownie base; a nest of crunchy Chinese noodles coated in melted butter...

It's been a long time since I frequented any of those places, but I always thought Wendy's had the best burgers. Nowadays, if I go there, I tend to get their apple pecan salad. Not sure if we have In & Out Burgers around here. I think I've seen them mostly out West. But all the chains seem to ge...

That's an amazing passage. I wonder who wrote that. On long marriages: if there were an easy formula for making relationships last, everybody would already know it, and there would be no divorces. But I think you and your wife are on the right track, HH. I do think it is all about commitment, no mat...

Well, if the "returns" = more candy, I think some parents prefer to limit that. My husband and I were not among them.

I've spent the last 40+ years living with a man whose first career choice was military. Sadly for him, he had a heart condition that hasn't bothered him in civilian life, but one that made the arduous physical training of the military potentially dangerous, so he chose to get out. However, all thing...

We had a casual dinner together and talked mostly about movies. Pretty Woman, with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, was popular at that time, and I recall we talked about that some. Lowry seemed like a pretty normal lady. The word "utopia" connotes a perfect world I guess, but it literally ...
