Yesterday's Google Doodle was brought to you by s'mores as an homage to the campfire treat that I was introduced to decades ago during my brush with Girl Scouts. Fitting, since they were likely an invention of those notorious campfire-loving cookie-selling gals back in 1925. The article explaining the anniversary mentions that they are a seasonal treat reliant on outdoor fire pits and grills to get the marshmallows just the right shade of brown.
|
However, Jim has been enjoying end-of-summer s'mores without lighting one match and it's likely I've created a s'mores monster.
|
I just put the graham crackers on a plate, stick a piece of chocolate on the cracker and pop a marshmallow on top. Then, 20 seconds of microwaving - enough time to smear some crunchy peanut butter on the other half of the cracker - and then I smush it all together.
|
|
Oh sure, the marshmallow lacks the crispy brown flame-kissed crunch. But I don't think Jim missed it - he's just happy to have s'more s'mores.

Survey data analyzed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) provides reliable insights into the number of households experiencing food insecurity across the country and in the Granite State. According to the USDA, food insecurity is defined as when households are unable to provide enough food for one or more household members due to a lack of money or resources. The USDA’s most recent report, released on September 4, suggests that food insecurity has continued to rise following initial declines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As we move from the warm summer months to the crisp days of fall, it’s important to remain vigilant about the risks posed by mosquito-borne illnesses, particularly Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). While rare, EEE is a serious viral disease with a high mortality rate. Tragically, this has been underscored by a recent death here in New Hampshire, reminding us all of the critical need for awareness and prevention.Â
