Last night we acquired an outdoor fire pit. The way in which we acquired the pit is a story unto itself that I will leave for another time. The important thing now is what we did once we finally got the pit home.
We went to Publix to buy the stuff to make S’mores. I have never had a S’more before. Now that we had a fire pit, making S’mores was the very first thing we needed to do, or so I have been brainwashed to believe.
Sorry, Mr. S’more, but I think you are WAY over-hyped! Am I supposed to like you just because everyone else raves about you? (They all rave about “Citizen Kane” too, and you know how I feel about THAT!)
The three tastes just didn’t blend together for me. You have the crunchy graham cracker, the mushy marshmallow, and the melted chocolate. I don’t get it. Maybe I needed ice cream with it?
Please leave me a comment and let me know what I am missing. Are there any tricks out there to make them taste better? Do you love them? I really want to like them, but unless I figure out what the big hoopla is, I don’t think I need to try them again.
Perhaps you were introduced to them too late in life. Maybe the warm childhood nostalgia is the missing ingredient that really makes the flavors and textures blend into something heavenly. And because I am such a good friend, I will eat all of your Smore’s for you from here on out.
Actually, the “nostalgia” concept did cross my mind! I guess I can compare S’mores to my eating funnel cake on the boardwalk on breezy summer nights in New Jersey. If someone just says the words “funnel cake” I can immediately smell the salty air of the Jersey shore. You can certainly have my S’mores…you give me your kids and I’ll give you my S’mores!
You better be careful, you just might find them on your doorstep one day. Not today though, they were good today. You would have died seeing Olivia sitting at the Clinique counter today having the lady put the perfect shade of lip gloss on her. You will have to go shopping with us sometime.
Phooey! Adrienne was at the mall for three hours today!
