S'Mores Recipe
S'Mores Recipe
Oh my! It's chilly outside! Looks like it's time to bake! I love baking during winter. I especially love baking classic American desserts! Last week I showcased a delicious apple pie recipe. Today I'll be sharing a S'Mores recipe!
How do you pronounce it? The word S'Mores comes from the words "some more", so just say that quickly, and add an "s". Some mores! S'mores!
What are S'Mores? They are tasty mini chocolate and marshmallow sandwiches! S'Mores are such a common American staple that even some schools teach kids how to make them in elementary school. My friends and I still can recall when we first learned to make s'mores in first grade! It was a yummy and unforgettable experience.
Ingredients
4 graham or cinnamon crackers, broken in half
(Note: If you can't find any graham or cinnamon crackers, please feel free to use chocolate cookies. No need to break the cookie in half. )
1 milk or dark chocolate bars, broken in small squares
4 marshmallows (any size)
This will make about 4 servings.
Directions
First, heat the oven to 250 F. Next, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Then break the crackers or cookies along the baking sheet.
Put 1 square of chocolate on each cracker or cookie. After that, place a marshmallow on top of each piece of chocolate.
Put the pan in the heated oven. Leave the S'mores in for about 4 to 6 minutes, or just long enough to melt the marshmallow and soften the chocolate.
Now take the pan from the oven and place the other half of the cracker or cookie on top. Gently push it down to showcase some of the melted chocolate and marshmallow.
Lastly, serve while it's still warm and melty! Isn't that delicious?
There is nothing like cozying up near a campfire or having a casual get together with friends and making s'mores! I hope you've enjoyed making them!
Happy Baking!

Why is that dog talking?
Most people are familiar with the concept of anthropomorphism, even if they don't know the word itself. Our stories, our mythology, is filled with it.
The prefix 'anthropo-' means 'human'. The suffix '-morphic' means 'the shape of', 'changing'. So the two put together means 'the shape of a human'... although it can be physical, it also applies to emotions and actions.
This can cause difficulty, because we very casually do this. Sentences like 'My car hates the cold weather,' could come as a surprise, unless you understand the need to make everything seem more human.

Fabulous Takamatsu
Feb. 15, 2019
I have to say that living in Takamatsu has been a blessing to me. The Takamatsu community has been extremely welcoming of me, as well as the city and government officials trying to communicate in English with me to assist and try to help me with specific items that I have needed to get accomplished.
This does not always happen with foreign citizens within foreign communities, however again, it is very welcoming to see that a community such as Takamatsu is so welcoming of specifically a USA foreigner.
This week, I had a very elderly man who was standing next to his bicycle getting ready to leave but then he come over and spoke to me when he had absolutely no reason to do this. Yes, he spoke broken English, and it was so much fun speaking with him as well as me trying to communicate in broken Japanese, and he trying to communicate in broken English.
He was absolutely an exceptional person, and following our pleasant conversation, this confirms again that the local citizens here really do care about all people, whether they are from here or from another location.
