Some Mores Happy Hour

Last Friday, we enjoyed S'mores during our happy hour. I procured some Sterno canned heat, skewers, marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate and thin mint chocolates for this first ever indoor bonfire event. Indoor S'mores, with its element of pyromaniac danger, will most likely never be repeated given that the Sterno flame seemed unpredictable. Mark expressed vocal concerns about the fire hazard, but finally joined in and ate two S'mores. Steve's first marshmallow went up in flames and he was slow to put it out which sent me into a panic. All participants reported back on Monday that they did not suffer any immediate health problems from eating marshmallows roasted in a Sterno flame. All in all, S'mores Happy Hour was a tentative success. If anything else, it was an team building exercise...we had to look out for each other's roasting marshmallows sounding a yelping alarm of panic if marshmallows were catching on fire in a blind spot.
