I saw this last week on Serious Eats. Brilliant!
It’s pretty self-explanatory.
Yeah, I made high-end s’meeps with the fancy-pants chocolate…so what?
Get graham crackers, chocolate & marshmallow peeps. Assemble.
Toast. I did mine for 4 minutes in the toaster oven.
Remove from oven.
Put top layer (un-toasted) of graham cracker on. Smoosh down.
Eat.
Grumpy-cat is not amused by s’meeps.
Completely unrelated, I played around with some possible new house colors today. We’ve never been happy with the grey/no contrast exterior of the house. Nothing pops. It’s kind of dreary.
Hopefully, this Summer we will re-side and paint. And do something like this (excuse the kind of crappy photoshop):
Dark orange door and accents. Green siding/paint. Bright ivory (with a hint of yellow) trim and columns. It would look . . . → Read More: Happy Easter! Make S’meeps

Yesterday, we had our marmoleum kitchen floor installed and we love it. It’s completely worth not having a refrigerator in the kitchen for the next 36 hours while it continues doing whatever it’s doing before we seal it Wednesday night.

The Details
I seriously thought this would never happen. We started by going to Marion’s Carpets, which stocks marmoleum and in the beginning, seemed that they would be easy to work with. Nope. Now, perhaps carpet through them is fine, but trying to get Marmoleum purchased and installed through Marion’s was like trying to get the kitchen floor covered in gold, . . . → Read More: Finally!

We recently decided to get a TV armoir to hide the television when not in use and to make the living room look a little nicer. Not wanting to spend thousands of dollars, we opted to buy something we would assemble ourselves. We did and it was pretty much hitchless. Sure, the first item assembled — a drawer — got taken apart twice (!) to fix misreading the directions (twice), but after that, it came together nicely.
And so it begins. Everthing is unpacked and laid out on the floor. Huh. That’s a lot of pieces.
jwa devises an evil plan for world domination with a Target armoir. It involves a screwdriver, wood glue and some salty language.
It’s starting to take form around 10:15 pm. We began the project around . . . → Read More: Saturday Night Fun: Assembling Furniture
