Keep it goin’ – vote for next Friday (over to your right)!

Most of America is looking forward to this Sunday for one reason or another. Cooking sites, beer brands, restaurants, t-shirt companies, and even The Who are set to capitalize on the event, which is undoubtedly the most watched TV-broadcast in America.

I Heard You Wanted S’more Marshmallows?

I will not apologize for what you see here, nor the recipe that follows. In fact, my post from Friday foreshadowed an occurence such as this (speaking of Friday, don’t forget to vote for this Friday’s post over to your right) and therefore, if you did your reading, you should not be too terribly surprised.
What I will say, instead, is that, if you ever have the desire to splurge, or perhaps to impress a large group of hungry chocoholics, this is the post for you. For today, don’t worry yourself with sugar content, calories, or fear of trying a daunting recipe and failing miserably. Take a deep breath, and make the jump.

For someone claiming to dream of owning a Bed of Breakfast, you wouldn’t know it from reading this blog. Aside from the granola bars, I haven’t really shared much of anything breakfast-related, other than some waffles (albeit with a kick-ass cherry sauce). I won’t lie – it’s not that I’m not sharing because I’m stingy, selfish, and want to keep all the recipes to myself (or my nonexistent B&B) - it’s because there really aren’t many of them. There… I admitted it. I am a bad breakfast blogger.
I do cook breakfast – if by cook, you mean throwing cereal in a bowl or whipping some homemade jam on a piece of toast. Sometimes, I really do it up; I can make a mean french toast and I thoroughly enjoy the breakfast casserole (stratas, quiche, you name it). I just sleepily & groggily omit the picture-taking, and therefore can’t prove that I’ve really done much cooking at all until at least noon.

I love to travel. So much so that I surprised people a few months back on a Facebook quiz by saying, even above cooking, that it’s my favorite thing to do. That quiz was not fabricated; similarly to good meals, I find myself thinking about our next vacation as soon as the current one is over. Last year (yes, it was sooooo 2009) we ‘took it easy’ and spent a week in Antigua, soaking up as many rays as the Caribbean sun would allow, scratching mosquito bites that only I seemed to get, and drinking more Merlot than I, quite frankly, cared to drink in a lifetime – but when it’s ‘free’ you gots to drink what they give you! Plus, for Merlot, it was good.
We took a long weekend trip to Napa as well, at which time I fell in love with the place and have made it my life’s goal to own a B&B there. And the year before Antigua, we were in Spain. I smuggled chorizo, ate kangaroo, and shopped in an outdoor grocery market that was so big, and so awesome, that I couldn’t have even dreamed it up. Strangely enough, it was in Spain that I was summoned by Morocco.
