Redemption

Forgive me???
Hi Hi!

Its confession time

Geez, don't look so scared

Its just that i've been a bad blogger

No recipe on Friday (the horror)

A post with no words few words on Monday and still no recipe (oh the humanity)

Donna is NOT following the blogger rules (gasp)

  • Though shalt not eat food without photographing it first
  • Though shalt not fall asleep without composing at least 2 different blog posts before the sheep come (you know counting sheep, stop being dirty here!)
  • Though shalt not let an embarassing/mortifying/ridiculous moment go by without recaping it in some way for the blog
  • Though shalt never mention sheep on the blog again!
So i am redeeming myself today

With a recipe no less!

And a hint of where i'm hopefully finally heading to this fall

Its Redemption AND Travel Tuesday!

Redemption for me as a blogger

Redemption for BF as he FINALLY commented on his first blog post yesterday (maybe its cause it was written directly to him - alternate title was "Dave for the love of all that is holy please write a comment already")

Redemption for our builder as he moved the light into the middle of our closet instead of in the right hand corner - not sure what that was about

Redemption for my poorly leg as i'm staying off it again today and giving it a break - it needs to get better asap as BF bought me a Garmin 305 for my birthday and i want to use it SO bad


________________________________

So what recipe am i gracing you with today?

Well our anniversary celebration today was interupted by the fact that a) i had to work and b) we are in the middle of moving our house into my parents garage for a month - so while i Whole Wheat pizza graced our table at dinner time - i made sure to have a insanely FABULOUS dessert to eat



Ready for it?


2 Step Indoor Smores


Ingredients
Cookies with chocolate tops
Marshmallows
Candle (preferable with multiple wicks*)
Sticks (if you could buy some bbq spears instead of sticks from a forest its preferable!)


Directions
1. Toast your marshmallow (that sounds sexy eh?)
2. Place it between your cookies - chocolate side in (i did it wrong the second time - blonde)
3. Eat your fabulous anniversary dessert while watching The Bachelorette and pine for Thailand







*Something about saying multiple wicks that makes me very happy :o)
_________________________________


So while we can't head to Thailand this year no matter how many times we drool over pictures of Phuket


We are *hopefully* heading to New York!


Can't believe i've never been before - we won't be heading there till around September but if you have advice on the big apple let me know, i want to know where the musts are 


You know the must eat, must go, must see


The MUSTS :o)
______________________________


So i know my recipe was a little pathetic but you have no idea what our house looks like right now, you might tomorrow because as you saw in the blogger rules i must share mortifying things like what a disaster my house is


Thanks for your patience while we finish this move - only one week to go!

Donna - you must eat at an Italian restaurant in Little Italy called 'La Mela' .... great ambiance, amazing people, visited by the most famous celebrities - and the pasta is to die for ... oh, and don't even get me started on the desserts! It is a must!

Great recommendations Leah, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do you roast a marshmallow over a candle without it tasting like lavender, or "country home"?

Bahahaaa! The smell doesn't effect the marshmellow that i noticed but good point Hannah :o)
i've never understood the appeal of s'mores: the graham cracker inevitably breaks & you get chocolate all over your hands in a setting (camping) where washing off is difficult. however, roasting marshmallows over candles? you put the FABULOUS in ghetto fabulous! you can have the cookies & chocolate but i will take the roasted (i.e. burnt to a crisp) marshmallows! yes, please! :)

Love the description of ghetto smores - thats totally what it was!
Yeah i definitely crave them, have one and think why did i want that again? :o)
Hooray for the GARMIN!!! You are going to LOVE IT! It is definitely a motivator for me...

I love a good smore every now and then...

I am now going to repeat the advice you gave ME last weekend. Stop beating yourself up over the lack of food photos and recipes...We can't be all blog all the time...We'd never get renos or moving done if that was the case!

Thanks!!!! I'm really excited about it
Thanks for the advice back at me - i needed that
You are the bestest :o)
No need to redeem yourself my dear...I love you just the way you are! And you don't ALWAYS need a recipe. I am SO jealous of your Garmin...thinking I need one to step up my training (or maybe that's just my blog-envy talking). I love anything s'more! I make them indoors, but in the microwave...your way seems much more classy though!

Thanks Hilary!!!!!!!! I needed that :o)
You are a way better runner then me garmin or not!!!
Lol, candles are not that much classier then microwaves :o)
I owe you an email - its coming soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I say blogger "rules" were meant to be broken.

But I do love a s'more...I've often wished for a fire pit in the backyard just so I can make them.

Wouldn't a fire pit be perfect? We have stupid fire regulations stopping us booo!
Love that rule - rules are meant to be broken :o)
Brilliant idea roasting those mallows over a candle! And cookies with the chocolate already on them? Smarty pants.
My brother and I used to roast marshmallows over our gas stove when we were kids. We never followed through with full-blown s'mores. Just ate tons of marshmallows, ha.
