MORE Than Just SMORES

I just got back from camping in the Rockies, and what better way to end a day of roughin' it than to roast up some smores? OK, just because you're in the middle of nowhere doesn't mean you can't kick it up a notch. No, not by adding some essence of Emeril, (although that would certainly kick up those burgers.)

I'm talking about dipping your marshmallows in some Grand Marnier before roasting them. Oh my goodness. Maui Wowie. Delicioso nervoso. Ginormously good. Did you know that "ginormous" is officially a word in the Merriam-Webster dictionary?

So next time you go camping...scratch that...next time you're making smores over the BBQ, and heaven forbid you make them in the oven, try this one out. Impress your friends. Just don't sear your eyebrows--or theirs.

And one more thing for the perfectly roasted marshmallow--indirect heat. (Ignore the picture where it looks like very direct heat. NOTE: I wasn't holding this marshmallow, OBVIOUSLY.) Also, here's a pic of me grilling corn, but I think I blinked in this one...

Wish you could have a bite,

mmm, what other liquors/liqueurs would work in such a novel and fantastic way, oh knowledgeable foodsnob? kahlua mayhaps?

(also, i appreciate that you own up on that lyrics thing. heh)

i tried the smores. in fact, i encouraged the purchase of grand marnier for camping purposes. brilliant! Foodsnob - can you patent this?

also - i heard the burgers were AMAZING and were definitely not in need of essence of e..... i heard that doing so would constitute as pollution of the grill kind.

the kahlua is a wonderful idea. i'm gonna raise that and try some Amarula.
