on Smores

Graham crackers are just the snack to cheer a kid up; throw in some chocolate and we'll have a party, but melt everything down with a marshmallow, and you'll be sending your kid to get their cholesterol checked out before they turn eight.

Smores - I just cringe at the word. Camp fires are great! You shiver and convince yourself that the fire you are dangerously close to is actually warming you up, which in reality, there is no longer any hair on your knuckels and your back facing away from the fire has just welcomed the next Ice Age. 

And, not to forget mentioning that every article of clothing worn near the fire will make you smell like a smoke house until you jump into the freezing cold lake the next morning because all you could smell throughout the night was baked ham; let's face it  -- all camp fires smell like baked ham, I don't know why, and smoked ham does smell good, but not as a walking, talking, knuckle-hair freed person. Maybe that is where the term, "honey" in "hello there honey" was first applied. The men can't help it but think of honey-baked ham as they greeted their partners. Stretching it a little?

I just caught the rabbit.
Smores. The point I'm trying to make is that graham crackers should be be graham crackers. Chocolate should be chocolate. And marshmallows should be marshmallows. Individually, they are superb, but mix them together, and the awesomeness just might light your world a fire and send you into some form of a sugar coma - the kind that makes you want to eat Slim Jim Tabasco-flavored beef jerky and capers just to counter the taste.

This is how I eat a Smore:
1. take all of the chocolate and stash it for later.
2. light the marshmallow on fire, let it burn for a few so it is nice a crispy.
3. eat char-grilled marshmallow.
4. play with fire (inner pyro)
5. take fire and light other things on fire - leaves, other food items, leg hair, etc.
6. slowly eat chocolate as embers dull.
7. eat graham crackers for breakfast.

Take it or leave it, but at least think about it, and in your case, forever smell like ham.
