The kids have been bugging me about roasting marshmallows but the weather and scheduling hasn’t been suitable for using the backyard fire pit and we didn’t have good roasting sticks. Today, though, Mom remembered to buy some while she was out and decided we should give indoor marshmallow roasting a try. I started a fire in the fire place and let it burn down to coals. It actually went well. Without open flames, even Corwin could get a nice brown coating. The kids seemed to enjoy the roasting as much as eating, sometimes accumulating several roasted marshmalllows. I don’t ever remember doing that when I was young.
I remember roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over the fireplace when I was little. I have been known to roast marshmallows over a candle when I am craving them!
