    For a moment, in the last panel, I thought that Elvis’ microphone was a melting marshmallow in the woman’s hair. Thankfully, I was wrong.

    Ah, Lupin’s maniacal glee at the flaming marshmallow. He really is Chaotic Neutral, isn’t he?

    An induction stovetop would be safer. The marshmallow wouldn’t cook though. Unless it was fortified with a LOT of iron.

    Toasting a marshmallow over an electric stove coil is tricky. Instead of igniting the marshmallow, you’re just as likely to find yourself trying to clean the melted marshmallow off the coil without burning yourself.

    My mother used to make marguerites. It’s a graham cracker with a marshmallow on top, baked in the oven. No chocolate, but I could presume you could put some, somehow, I have several ideas.

    If you remove the crunchy outer shell you’ll have quite acceptable s’mores goo. And since they’re being toasted inside, you don’t have to worry about the s’mores goo being full of splinters, either!

    Perhaps counter-intuitively, an open flame from a candle toasts those ‘smallows perfectly and relatively safely. But broiling them in the oven or browning them with a culinary torch is probably the safest bet. In any case, trying to roast marshmallows with only one free hand because you’ve got a Siamese cat in the other is definitely not advised.♥

    I have never seen anyone ‘roast’ marshmallows over an electric range. The whole thing seems like a recipe for disaster. I’ve done it with my gas stove but…fire…

    I once tried to cook marshmallows by myself when I was a kid, though it didn’t work very well; I used a long piece of K’nex as the skewer, and since I wasn’t allowed to use the oven or stove, just putting them in the microwave to heat up wasn’t the point, and I had no access to fire, I used the hottest thing I could find: a lightbulb.

    I was using a length of plastic to press marshmallows directly onto a lamp bulb. As I said, it didn’t work very well.

    Many years, possibly even a decade later, I discover the bulb of a particular lamp has some dark brown crusty shapes caked onto it, remember what caused them, and realize that not only did I not clean the bulb in any way, but apparently no one else had noticed over all those years.

    The bulb still worked perfectly, too.

    Mom’s balancing Elvis and the marshmallow, tough to do. Lupin is his pyrotechnic / pyromaniac self. The boy and girl are handling it, well, maybe not. But not to worry, Dad’s there too!

    Meanwhile, Back on the Nile

    Thomios: Time for the s’more cook out!

    Burt-Ra: I’ve got a nice campfire all ready.

    Elvis-Anum: I have the cat friendly chocolate bars.

    Lupinium: And here’s the crackers.

    Elvis-Anum: (How appropriate).

    Quite sometime later

    Queen Catshepsut the Golden: Oh, we’ve been here for quite some time! Time to get back to the palace.

    Beatrixia: It’s really dark. How will we find our way back?

    Puckmosis: Do we have any marshmallows left?

    Thomios: Yes, lots.

    Puckmosis: Then let’s make marshmallow torches.

    Elvis-Anum: But can they safely light our way back?

    The Queen: Thanks to the magic of cartoon science, yes!

    You know that it would be untrue

    You know that I would be a liar

    If I was to say to you

    That marshmallow is not on fire

    Come on, People, that looks dire

    Come on, Lupin, so inspired

    Try not to set your pants on fire

    The time to hesitate is through

    It’s time to do what is required

    Try now, you can only lose

    That awesome crust to which you so aspire

    Come on, People, douse the fire

    Come on, Lupin, quench desire

    Try not to set the house on fire, yeah

    This is a great decadent recipe for oven s’more bars. Use the non-stick foil and they come out of the pen easily. Like the ones from the campfire but even better with butter and brown sugar.12 whole graham crackers2 cups miniature marshmallows1 bag (11 1/2 oz) milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips3/4 cup butter or margarine3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugarHeat oven to 350 F. Arrange graham crackers evenly in 151/2×101/2 inch jelly-roll pan. Sprinkle marshmallows, then chocolate chips on top.Combine butter and brown sugar in a medium microwave-proof bowl. Microwave 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on High, until butter is melted. Stir to blend. Spoon evenly over marshmallows and chips.Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until barely golden. Cool completely in pan on wire rack. Cut into squares.Make about 24 bars.

    OT … prayers requested from the Orb. My mom, known to many of you as The Gigi, has a dear friend named Evie. She and Evie have known each other since they were both five years old and have shared a lot of life experiences together – everything from standing up at each other’s weddings, to Evie being by my mom’s side when she was told, at age 17, that her father had died suddenly, and countless things in between.

    Evie was diagnosed with cancer several months ago and although she had seemed to be doing well, Evie’s husband called my mom over the weekend and said that he will be calling hospice in today. My mom, as you might imagine, is not taking this news well. Prayer is requested for Evie, her husband Jim, and her children Maura and Tom, and also for my mom.

    My stepson Ben taught me a genius way to make s’ mores in the house. Melt marshmallows( we Did 4) In microwave for about 12 seconds. Press each one between 2 fudge striped store bought cookies. Enjoy! You can also put 1 cookie topped by one room temp marshmallow in the microwave and cook about 10 seconds to puff marshmallow. Top with another room temp cookie. Chocolate will get melty in both versions.
