The Perfect Marshmellow

On April 7th 2011 at 6:32pm Kate Harrison made the perfect marshmellow.

Naomi and I signed up for a tour to climb and spend the night sleeping on Volcano Pacaya. Although it might sound strenous and all to climb a volcano, it was more like an hour walk up there so we could get to a really hot steam vent thing that released so much heat we could gorge ourselves on s´mores and spend the night hanging out around a camp fire. super cush. We found giant sticks long enough to toast our marshmellows all the way down into the crevasse. and in under 3 minutes the marshmellows were perfectly golden brown. Crispy brown on the outside and soft and melty on the inside. Now if you are the type of person that likes to burn their marshmellows this would not be the place for you. There is no fire to stick the marshmellow in and burn the living hell out of it. This lava vent is only for the more sophisticated and dedicated s´more makers that like to really perfect the art of golden browning.

The australian we were with had her first s´more. it was an honor to witness.

We fell happily asleep after being super immature and laughing about poop and farts with lots of marshmellow and chocolate in our stomachs. It was a well spent night.

Off to shake my sweet ass to shakira tomorrow!! woohoo!
