I discovered something about Eileen back when I made the homemade marshmallows–she may love smores even more than I do. I know it’s hard to believe, since I’m famous for eating marshmallows until I’m nearly sick, and adding grahams and chocolate just makes it that much better, but it’s true.

My family rocks. Really. We can not see each other for months, and then when we get together it’s hours and hours of non-stop chatting and fun. And normally, food.
