WHAT WOULD MARTHA STEWART SAY TO GEORGE WRIGHSTER?

In his latest blog post, "S'mores....hmmmm good," NY Giants Tight End George Wrighster gives us some insight into a (semi)inexpensive night with the family.

I'm 28yrs old and I had never had a S'more until last night. I mean I've heard of S'mores from my days of watching the movie The Sandlot (which is where I got my recipe from) everyday, but I had never actually had one. I love doing stuff with my family so last night we decided to give this S'mores thing a try

Well he didn't use the EXACT recipe from the sandlot.  It has been a while since I've seent he movie but I'm guessing that they used your everyday Hershey's, or whatever chocolate was on hand.  Not Godiva.  But cooking is an art form and always leaves a little room for artistic interpretation.

I went to the store grabbed some Marshmallows, Graham crackers and of course Godiva Chocolate (only the best for my first experience).

It's not all warm fluffy marshmallows, and smooth melted chocolate though.  Building a good s'mores take practice.  From building the fire, to finding the perfect brown of a marshmallow.  George seems to pick it all up pretty quickly though.

Trying to get the perfect fire going is not as easy as it looks, but you know your boy is something like Man vs Wild, so I had no problem adapting to the harsh conditions of the 75 degree LA night. Once the fire was nice and blazing, I gave the boys their sticks, put some 'mellows on them and began to toast. Getting the 'mellow the perfect brown w/o burning it was a task I couldn't quite master until I brutalized 12 marshmallows.

All told it sounds like George and the boys had a good night and it sounds there may be more s'mores nights in the future.

I highly recommend S'more night for everyone. Its an inexpensive way to have some good family time and satisfy your sweet tooth.

As Martha would say, "That's a good thing."

(Can we expect a blog about mountain pies next?)
