Besides, I had to take new photos because my attempts to photograph making S'mores at night were grainy and unfocused.
While the middle '87 was a perfectly fine hand model, my brother had to horn in to show her how it's done.
Two graham crackers +
two pieces of chocolate +
one toasted marshmallow =
S'more!
One is more than enough for me. Too sweet.
My mom was frying up banh tet (Vietnamese sticky rice cakes) for breakfast.
What kind of berries are these? I wasn't sure and didn't know if they were edible.
I knew salal berries were edible though, even though my parents said I shouldn't eat strange berries in the wild. But I know what kind of berries they are. My oldest aunt was intrigued and ate some too.
Here's that square-stemmed huckleberry/not-huckleberry that still confounded me.
Pretty lichen and moss.
Spores on fern.
Breakfast done, it was time to dismantle camp.

Dear Wandering chopsticks,
ReplyDeleteYour smores look good!
I find it very difficult to get that right combination of softness of the marshmellow with the melted chocolate.
I usually will wrap my smore in aluminum foil and pop it into the fire. This way, the graham cracker or marshmellow doesn't burn and the chocolate still melts. It comes out delicious!
Ravi,
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a great idea.
