Now that I've addressed that issue lets talk about something delicious:
S'MORES!!!!!
One evening my boyfriend and I decided to take a stroll at our local walmart and we spotted a do it yourself kit. Again it came to light that no I have not tried yet another thing.
I love chocolate and things with marshmallows in it and the imaginary taste in my brain said it would technically taste good so we bought one:
Although this do it yourself kit, it is pretty much done all you have to do is put it together. I did not take the lead on putting it together, we decided that my bestie Zack should do it since he had more experience with S'mores than I do.
Side note: as I was writing this and spelling out "S'mores" I started to wonder why they are called this and the who where what when of all of this business.
Time for some wikipedia-ing!!
First piece of information: National S'mores Day is celebrated yearly on August 10th in the United States!! HELLO they have a day for S'mores? WOW. I've missed out on travelling to the United States to celebrate over 20 National S'mores Days
:(
I started daydreaming about who would create such a thing and imagined a bum who had no money putting together this cheap sandwich and warming it over a garbage can. Boy, was I wrong... I should have known girls (very smart intuitive girls) would have had a hand in creating a
chocolate marshmallow sammy.
"S'more appears to be a contraction
of the phrase, "some more." While the origin of the dessert is unclear,
the first recorded version of the recipe can be found in the
publication "Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts" of 1927"
The thing I took out of that most was the title of the publication "Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scouts" .... Girl Scouts were tramps? But how could tramps create such chocolatey goodness?
I definitely would like some more! S'mores are dang good. Real dang good. Messy but good- see proof below:
I was going to post all the different variations I found of s'mores but there were wayyyy too many and now I want a s'more... but here is some additional information about s'mores:
The word is in the dictionary!
"S'more: a dessert consisting usually of toasted marshmallow and pieces of chocolate bar sandwiched between two graham crackers" (Merriam-Webster Dictionary online)
Wiki how has also posted how to make s'mores (campfire style) just in case you were unsure, pictures included:
When I Googled "S'more" the results were the dictionary and several different s'more bakeries which got my attention until I quickly realized none of these places are close to me. Then it dawned on me that Zack taught me how to make s'mores and I didn't need no s'more bakery, I'm my own s'more bakery. I have yet to be taught how to make s'mores on a campfire due to never going camping until adulthood.
I will leave you with words that rhyme with S'more:
