(best thing about camping - s'mores - and yes, you lead a sorry, sad existence if you've not had s'mores)



And just so you know the strange ways in which my mind works....we were sitting around a campfire one night and I heard someone playing some Tammy Wynette music, it occurred to me that very soon there will come a time when I just won't hear that kind of music at a campsite any longer. There will likely always be someone who will play Elvis (sorry Samantha but it's true) or Johnny Cash or one of the more classic old-timers but I think that it may be coming close to the end of the line for hearing Tammy Wynette music at campgrounds. KWIM? After Tammy's songs were done the same person started playing Kenny Rogers ( don't even try to convince me that you don't at least know You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me, Lucille - I won't believe you) and I started feeling a little less sad because I think Kenny fans will still be kicking around the campgrounds for awhile.

This is a pic I couldn't resist taking of a garbage gobbler ( that is what we used to call them when I was little). These used to be all around our province at roadside pull offs to house garbage cans, somewhere my mom has a pic of my brother and I with our faces peering out through the mouth so I had to stop and take one of my boys in the same pose. Of course we had to think of some other poses too.

And you get to appreciate a comfortable bed and a hot shower when you get back, eh! Erm....are those vegan marshmallows - huh? Look forward to seeing you at the beach tomorrow.
Saddest thing about becoming vegetarian... no more s'mores. :(
They did come out with vegan marshmallows a couple of years ago - but the shelf-life was not good. We made some rice krispie squares (organic cereal, but of course) and the whole thing was like some great return to childhood. We gobbled them down when Jr. was in bed. LOL.
Anyone seen the vegan versions since?
I have seen vegan ones at my local health food store but didn't try them. They were about $11 a bag! I do have a recipe but haven't tried that either as they are mostly corn syrup and sugar I think. I can live without them - was never a great fan of them as a child.
