NO NO NO! You toast the marshmallow and then put it on the cracker with the chocolate. The warm marshmallow melts the chocolate in just the right way. 😄

@micheleyamamoto545 there are cookies similar to Graham crackers that have a lay of chocolate on 1 side, they are sold in the Netherlands. They work really well too because the chocolate is thinner than a chocolate bar so the melted chocolate does not drip as much. Chocolate inside the marshmallows sound delicious as well!

Amaury, I have a tip that worked for me, to minimize loss of space in a similar situation: after the boiler installation's done, build another wall in front of of it. Access to all the boiler stuff could be created with heavy barn doors on sliders, with heavy duty rollers. On the shop side you can move and rehang stuff, for example moving the racks that hold your bar clamps, long levels, looped extension cords, etc. You might also hang led fixtures back there so nobody has to drag a flashlight around to read gauges. I hope this isn't clear as mud to you!

P.S.: There was one thing I forgot to mention. If there's too big of an arc/swing for the door, that's when you need the sliding hardware. But then there will be a section of wall where the door will slide over it, and ya can't hang things there. So to minimize that bit of loss of space, I stored stuff that can easily be moved, like the moveable wood crib, shop vac, and staging.

You really need everyone to have long bamboo poles for shepherding. You wave the poles back and forth and the sheep perceive them as very long arms. It’s why the shepherds in paintings had long crooks.

Ok..to make s'mores you just hold two marshmallows on a stick over a flame until they are golden brown on all sides (idealy) if they burn..or catch fire..just blow them out...they still taste great...put a Hershey chocolate bar on top of a whole Graham cracker ...then push the gooey marshmallows off your stick with another Graham cracker to make a "sandwich" let cool just a bit...then devour...The reason I wrote all this is because we never put the chocolate over the flame WITH the marshmellows.

So glad to see the information about St. Jude's Hospital. It is a wonderful place that is a blessing for the pediatric cancer patients and their families. I don't know if you know the story of the founder, Danny Thomas? He was an actor/comedian of Lebanese descent. He was Catholic and knew St. Jude was the patron of hopeless cases. He asked St. Jude to intercede for him to be able to make a living as an actor. In return he would build a hospital for sick children who were hopeless cases suffering with cancer. He ended up with a very successful 1960's situation comedy show, "Make Room for Daddy". I grew up watching it. A very sweet man. He kept his vow to God and built the hospital. His daughter, Marlo Thomas, who was a successful actress in "That Girl " TV show, Carries on his work.

The French sign "Pain Complet" grabbed my attention as I suffer from chronic pain. Translating the phrase into English, I learned it means "whole wheat bread." 🍞 If you have a gluten intolerance, it certainly can cause widespread pain. As an American, I've never seen a chocolate graham cracker before, but looks interesting! Traditional S'more layering: graham cracker, toasted marshmallow, chocolate bar, graham cracker. The key is toasting the marshmallow until it's soft inside and just about ready to fall into fire. The hot, gooey marshmallow melts the chocolate candy bar thus holding the graham cracker "sandwich" together. 😉❤

Farmers in Australia have used drones to round up sheep and cattle. It’s amazing how good it works

Dan has such a special kinship with his drone. Truly amazing watching the two work together.

To clean the marshmellow forks we would stick them in the dirt to get the marshmellow off, then back to the fire for sanitizing. Of course we were around a camp fire, not in a kitchen.
