Hello, friends! Did you watch the super bowl? Me? Well, I did not. I took advantage of the occasion to hang out with friends… but I really did not watch more than 1 minute of the game.
Remember my fancy dinner at Bonterra? Well, I decided to try and recreate the “S’more Bark” on my truffle platter.
They actually turned out really good!
This is the easiest recipe ever. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in the microwave. Then, when everything is melted and smooth, dump in crumbled graham crackers and mini marshmallows. Stir everything together, and then pour onto waxed paper. I like to smooth it out with a spatula. Then I place it in the fridge and wait for it to cool. Break into pieces and voila! Instant chocolate candy!
I took my “S’more Bark” to two different gatherings yesterday.
After Zumba, I had a chance to hang out with some new Zumba friends and enjoy some chili! I never thought to put chili over noodles, but it was really good! I LOVE pasta AND chili… so this was awesome!
And what else would a bunch of Zumba lovers do at a party? Dance!
Also, my friend Diana brought some Coconut Cream Pie that was so yummy. I had to leave early, so she gave me a “to go” piece.
(There would have been a picture here, but it got a little smushed. Still tasted great, though!)
Then I headed to Kati and Lucas’s house where they were actually watching the Super Bowl. It was fun seeing my friends. I couldn’t believe how much my friend Laura’s baby has grown! She’s not a baby any more! Sadie had fun playing with her.
The sad news is… by the time I got home, I felt TERRIBLE. I had a fever and was so weak and shaky. I have felt yucky all day. :( I hate being sick. I am really hoping to be better tomorrow because I have a FULL day planned. There is no time for sickness!
Thanks to the husband for picking up dinner. We have the BEST little Chinese Place near our house: Delicacy China Bistro. Their food is awesome! The wonton soup was exactly what I wanted tonight!
Your S'mores look delicious and SO easy! I will have to try those...and I'm hoping that you're feeling better! (Side note, Sadie is reminding me of when I was a child and the silly behavior - or antics - I used to try and do for the camera...still shots or rolling video, it didn't matter!)
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your blog and seeing your pictures of the chocolate and chili, I thought of a chili recipe that has chocolate in it. A lot of good chili recipes have chocolate in them. We'll be there when it's ready.
