S'more

back into my chair around the campfire. In the night, it tends to get briskly frigid and not that I don’t appreciate the chill of the nippy, crisp air, but the warmth of a campfire scares away the goosebumps from my arms and legs. As I sit in the deafening silence of the night, I breathe deeply and take in all that nature has to offer. The dampness and pungent aroma of the pine trees and the campfire guide me into a profound state of relaxation. Suddenly, I am caught off-guard and am startled by the animals of the night. The wolves are howling at their master, the moon, and the nocturnal owls awaken and welcome the evening, hooting to break the muteness. I begin to feel dozy as I adjust to nature’s form of music, so I decide it’s time for s’mores. I firmly grasp a stick and stab it into my marshmallow. As I hold it above the blazing fire, I turn it to make sure each side gets a pleasant golden-brown tint. When it’s perfectly done, I scrape it carefully between two graham crackers and throw in a piece of chocolate to top it off. Indulging into the ooey-gooey goodness is messy. The graham cracker breaks sending crumbles to the ground and my fingers become sticky from the melty marshmallow. Taking the final bite, I close my eyes to enhance my flavorful experience. Not to leave any of the appetizing treat behind, I lick my fingers clean slowly. The perfect food to savor around the campfire has left my belly content and my face full of chocolate. Licking my lips, the taste has me…

Fast foods have been around forever and currently shape our lives today. We're always busy and on the go and just need something fast to eat, even though it may not be very nutritional. Some fast foods that have influenced me are s'mores, pop tarts, Girl Scout cookies, Kraft macaroni and cheese and pizza. Since 1927, s'mores have been a fast food which is often used while camping. S'mores are a common food for my family to have all the time, especially in the summer. When I was in first grade,…

Did you know that there are many, many old, valuable traditions that the 7th graders at Camp Tapawingo carry out each year? These traditions take place during the campfire behind the lodge that we ate and slept in. There were two instances where we were using the campfire. Once with just our tribe and Mr. Milski making s’mores, the other being with the entire group while carrying out the traditions. We started the traditions at approximately 11:00 pm on September 15th, 2016. We did this by…

Madison asks. “We could make a food because you’re a marshmallow and I’m a chocolate bar.” Chunky says. “Ok, what kind of food?” Madison asks. “A s’more!” Chunky says. “So, where do we get the ingredients to make it?” Madison asks. “We have the ingredients, us! But we’ll still have to look for a graham cracker.”…

This summer I camped at Turkey Run. It took 1 hour and 30 minute to get there. We brought our dogs with us and it was hard to eat with them. It was 7:42 their time so we had to unload in the dark. So when we were done unloading me and my little brother were playing air hockey. My brother and I also had to keep an eye on my 1 year old sister and our dogs, who were chained up to a tree, while our mom and dad went to the store for firewood, eggs, and bacon. So my brother and I went to bed at 10:34.…

The waves were clapping…

During the fall, marshmallows are commonly found during Thanksgiving, in dishes such as potato casserole or pumpkin pie. Then, during the winter, marshmallows are found in drinks like hot cocoa to balance out the chocolatey warmth. Finally, during the summer, marshmallows make their way into what was previously discussed: S’mores. No matter what season it is, marshmallows manage to adapt to the dishes of that season. This seasonal significance not only adds a touch of whimsy to culinary…

turned into dust. Fry Mcsauceston crawls out wearing his lava/heat proof suit and boots. He saw volcanoes, lava pits and a mountain. Fry Mcsauceston walks up to a volcano to get a closer look. He trips over a space rock and fell into the volcano. There is no way to get up so Fry Mcsauceston takes a nap while he waits. He feels very cool in his suit and sighs contently. The volcano erupts eight hours later and Fry Mcsauceston flies up so high that he leaves Venus’ orbit, dodges around the…

finally arrived at the campsite. The car grinds to a stop, I put on my headlamp, and my fellow Scouts lead the way onto the campground. It is pitch black outside. Since this is my first camping trip, I am a novice at tent pitching. I am literally left in the dark. Unfortunately, my tent buddy is also reasonably new to the troop, and he is not quite sure what to do either. Since it is windy, the tarp that the tent will be erected on continues to billow and knock him over. It takes the both…
