Good 63ºsmokey smokey morning.
Yesterday smokey all day. Heated to 100º. A little after 10pm there was a
super quick thunder storm that moved through... high winds, hard rain (could
have been hail... loud enough!), and thunder. Not enough rain to wet
anything.
Breakfast yesterday was a Schwans breakfast pizza...
Scrambled eggs, bacon, white gravy, cheddar and mozzarella cheese in a
crispy deep dish crust, and since it was rice pudding day I had some of that
too...

August 10th
National S'mores Day
S'mores are a favorite campsite treat for young and old kids. If you're at
a campfire, chances are, there's S'mores. Sticky and gooey, and loaded with
sugar and carbs, S'mores are nothing short of delicious. Who was the first
person to create S'mores? We don't know. But, we're all sure glad they
did!
National S'mores Day celebrates this tasty summer treat. It's appropriately
observed in August...campfire prime time. Don't limit your consumption of
S'mores to the campfire. They are popular with kids year round, and can be baked
in the oven, or microwave.
The origin of S'mores dates back to the 1920's. It's believed the recipe
was created by the Campfire Girls. Girl Scouts soon discovered it, and found it
to be chocolaty delicious. Before long, S'mores became a campfire staple for
everyone. S'more folklore suggests that S'mores got its name right by the
campfire. After eating one, young kids chanted "gimme some
more!"
