||Day Forty-One||
As the days get shorter and as the prominence of fireworks draws nearer (in fact, I hear fireworks going off as I type this), it is clear that summer has officially begun. And what says "summer" more than s'mores? Absolutely nothing.
For years my family and I have been serving these bad boys up microwave-style from lack of campfire or grill, and it wasn't until I moved into my apartment at school last year that I realized it was possible to have an "authentic" tasting s'more. Because it's just not the same unless it has that thin layer of crispiness on the outside and the warm marshmallow inside. So as far as I know, you can roast marshmallows on any stovetop. At my apartment I have an electric coil stove, whereas at home we have gas. It takes some patience, and definitely your full attention (so as to not catch anything but the marshmallow on fire), but within a minute or two you will have the perfect s'more.
I can't even tell you how many times I just roasted marshmallows for the heck of it while I was at school; finals week brings out your inner food-monster. But anyway, while campfires are super fun and everything, they certainly aren't quick or easy. So if you're in the mood for a quick fix of marshmallow and chocolatey goodness, crank up that stove top and get wild.
