S'more Lovin'

hello friends!

it's been a while since i updated, but that's because i've been moving into a new apartment! it's a small lovely place on the third floor of an old house right in the center of my town.  two blocks from the beach, three blocks from the main entertainment street.  oh, location!

anyway, so what with all the moving and unpacking, i haven't been able to do much baking.  i still have yet to even test out my kitchen with a good vegan, gluten free baked good recipe but that's because i am still acquiring all the baking necessities...however!

last night, luke and i tested out the new gas stove!  and what's a better way to test out an open flame than by roasting marshmallows and making s'mores?! i've save you the energy-there is no better way.



an action shot of my marshmallow burning!

we had a lot of fun roasting the marshmallows and trying to achieve a good balance between toasty warm and burnt.

i had a very smart moment where i slid the marshmallow off the fork and noticed there was still some marshmallow left on it, so naturally stuck it into my mouth-not pausing to think about the fact that i had just held that fork, made of metal, over an open flame.  it was HOT and i now have four blisters on my inner lips where the prongs burnt the skin.  there's your sign...

ANYWAY, the s'mores themselves were quite delicious!



caught in the act.

we had to use hershey's kisses because that was only milk chocolate we had on hand, and it actually created quite the ascetically pleasing s'more once the marshmallow melted between the kisses!

who knew such a messy dessert could look so cute?

i am very happy to have a gas stove to do this on! i want to try other types of s'mores, like with oreos instead of graham cracker, or reeses peanut butter cups instead of chocolate. oh the possibilities!



the last bite. mmmmm!

 how do YOU like your marshmallows? burnt to a crisp or lightly browned? any good out-of-the-box s'mores ideas?  let me know and i'll try 'em out!
