Yes, it’s correct! I never even knew. See what happens when I get some free time! I find incredibly important information to share with others.

For those of you who don’t have a fire pit to roast marshmallows over, a non-scented candle (trust me…a scented candle is NOT a good idea) will work in its place.

But for those willing to try a new twist to s’mores, I’ve posted a different kind of recipe below, courtesy of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. (I didn’t include the nutrition information as we don’t need to ruin this fun day!)

Coconut Fruit S’Mores

 

 

 

Ingredients

  • 4  oz.  dark or semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3  Tbsp.  butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/3  cup  flaked coconut
  • 12    marshmallows
  • 1-1/3  cups  fresh blackberries
  • 24    graham cracker squares

 

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microcook on 50 percent power (medium) for 1-1/2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. Let cool for 10 minutes.

2. Line a baking sheet with foil; lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.

3. Place butter and coconut each in a shallow dish; roll marshmallows in butter and then coconut. Thread berries and marshmallows on 6-inch skewers and place on prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle any remaining coconut atop marshmallows. Spoon chocolate onto half of the graham crackers and arrange on a platter.

4. Broil skewers 3 to 4 inches from heat for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until coconut is lightly browned and marshmallows are puffed, turning once halfway through broiling.

5. To serve, immediately top each chocolate-coated graham cracker with a skewer. Use remaining graham cracker to pull marshmallows and berries off skewers and form sandwiches. Makes 12 servings.

The Facebook Project – Day 3

Day 2 continued…

2:37 going crazy without Facebook. I’m reading in my college textbook, about prisons and it says “people are naturally social, to confine them is unnatural.” Someone help! I’ve caused myself to be unnatural!!!

4:04 my mind is not consumed by what others are doing, leaving me with lots of time to think about myself…too much thinking about myself.

6:34 during a commercial, so tempted to just look really quick at Facebook, eat candy instead.

I’m starting to become aware of the nagging little girl who I’ve spoken about before. (The one wearing flip-flops) She is telling me no one will know if I just get on Facebook really quick and look. I find it hard to believe her as she looks preoccupied chewing her Tootsie Roll Pop.

Day 3

I wake up in the morning, and I’m so NOT “feeling like P-Diddy.” For sure he has checked his Facebook account this morning.

10:57 starting to wonder why no one has noticed I’m not on Facebook…surely one of my Facebook “Friends” must miss me…

11:00 someone POKE ME!!!!!! dang it!!!

Starting to wonder if my time stamped thoughts posted on this blog is a “form of status updates” minus Facebook?!?!

12:34 probably is

Today…not much better than yesterday. And I have come up with nothing to help turn it around.

I think I ate about 10 cookies yesterday, but I made them, so I guess they were a little bit healthier than store-bought. But I must have spent every second that I wasn’t eating cookies grinding my teeth as I had an awful headache come the afternoon.

I do give myself points for not mouthing off anymore on Facebook on some “friends” stupid posts. And extra points for the extra credit I managed to do decent job on in one of my college classes. Although it wasn’t in the class I actually needed extra credit in…why does that always happen?!?!

But I would like to know who taught my dogs to chase each other around the kitchen table right after a bath?!?!  They are both wet, both slipping and slamming into everything in their way. My walls have big body slam wet marks from their impact. I guess the large empty carpeted room just isn’t as much fun as running around on the tile and doing the doggy splits.

Costco

Dear Costco,

Thank you for the brownie sample lady at one end of the store and the bread sample lady at the other end yesterday. However, your best decision was putting the energy drink sample man in the middle, it really kept my energy up as I went back and forth. But…please speak with the brownie sample lady as I found it rude when she slapped my hand away as I reached for my 7th sample.

Sincerely,

The 30 pack of candy bars is still within my reach
