Have your bed and eat it too!

What did you do this wonderful Valentine's Day? Did you share it with your husband, wife, boyfriend, girlfriend, cat, imaginary lover, other angry singles?

I spent mine with marshmallows.

I'm not even embarrassed.

I've always wanted to make marshmallows from scratch but they have always been one of those things that has kind of always intimidated me for some reason. After making them, I'm really not even sure why I never even tried before; they really aren't hard to make at all. I think that hardest part was having enough patience to wait the minimum amount of time before cutting into them.

I'm sure that had I been able to wait overnight, as recommended, they would have been more cuttable and come out cleaner, but hey, they look homemade, or rustic, as I like to say. But anyways, I've always wanted to make marshmallows. I love them. They are great. And since I've been watching How I Met Your Mother on Netflix at an impressive rate, my desire has gotten even stronger every time Lily calls Marshal marshmallow. THEREFORE! I could not wait any longer.

I invited myself over Becca's house last night because she had to pack for her trip to the Galapagos Islands, and I made marshmallows. It was so much fun. I can't even describe to you how satisfying this experience was for me. After I poured the mallows into the pan and covered it in plastic wrap, Becca and I could not stop poking it. Then we cleaned out the bowl, in the traditional style of doing nothing less than licking it.

Becca pointed out how lovely it would be to have a bed made of marshmallow. Then you could have your bed and eat it too! Classic Becca line right there. So use this recipe right here, and go back a bed made of mallows and eat them too! 

Keep crazy, my little marshmallows!
