S'more Please!

Since I sat around watching CNN and the Weather Channel almost all day (fearing the hurricanes path towards my New Orleans home) yesterday an easy to assemble dessert was needed. Since temperatures are still dipping into the 30's and 40's at night we have kept a fire going for almost a full week. S'mores seemed like the answer. The Marshmallows may not have been homemade but the Graham Crackers were! Dusted with Turbinado Sugar and Cinnamon they "made" the Hershey Bars and Jet Puffed Marshmallows. Roasting the Marshmallows on driftwood sticks that Jessi and I whittled (I know...she whittles too!) points onto added just enough kitsch.

My sweet girl Maggie, has great taste. She could have cared less for the Marshmallows or the Hershey Bars but she sure did want some Graham Crackers!


Smore's in action below, this guest preferred a bit of char to her mallow!


With all this talk of dessert, dinner was an easy meal of Parmesan and Breadcrumb roasted Tomatoes (grown in the neighboring city of Ronan), pan roasted Broccoli, Roast Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes and Grilled Pork Paillards.
