Tuesday Tasty: S'mores Dip

I stated in my post yesterday that I would write about a tradition we have for Fourth of July. Our tradition is very similar to many other people's tradition, with a slight twist.

That's right, we make s'mores. But not just any s'mores, we recently started making a recipe called s'mores dip. I thought that I would share this very simple recipe with you. For this recipe, you will need:

1 bag or more chocolate chip morsels
marshmallows
graham crackers

To begin making this, start your oven on its "broil" setting and move the rack to the top notch. Meanwhile, do this:

Once the marshmallows are placed, put the skillet on the top rack of the oven and let it broil for a few minutes. Keep an eye on it though! Marshmallows will brown, then blacken, rather quickly. Pull out and test the chocolate once the marshmallows are the desired color; the chocolate may not have quite melted yet. If this is the case, make sure the oven is turned off, then set the skillet on the top rack again and let the left-over heat melt the chocolate. Once the dip is how you like it, pull it out and set it where everyone can reach it, with graham crackers close by. Now everyone can have a taste of this amazing s'mores dip by scooping it up with a graham cracker!

I love this recipe, especially since you can add or subtract the amount of ingredients as desired. I hope you try this recipe too, and enjoy it; feel free to leave a comment below, or on Facebook.

The Great Red Dragon of Revelation 12

Sorry this post is a little late! I wanted this project to be done last Sunday, but I kept noticing details that could be added to make it a little better. This post might seem a little random, but it helped me to practice the drawing skills and techniques that I know. This includes: drawing dragon heads, adding small details to half-finished ideas, and adding shading. The idea for this design came from my Mom, when she saw me drawing dragon head designs and challenged me to draw the seven-headed dragon from Revelation 12:3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads." My initial idea looked like this: Click to enlarge. I realized that this wouldn't work, for my drawing skills at least, so I changed the design to this: Click to enlarge. I wanted a large center head that captured attention, so I worked on that next: Click to enlarge. Click to enlarge. F...

With Apologies to Robert Frost

I have a class for school called Speech. This is supposed to help me learn how to stand properly while speaking, pronounce words properly, and so on. The most recent section is on how to give meaning and feeling to a poem when reading one out loud. My teacher, Mrs. Autrey, has been reciting poems to us as examples, and she uses a variety such as happy poems, sad poems, thoughtful and so on. One of them that caught my attention was a funny remake of the famous poem "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" by Robert Frost. The original is one of my favorite poems, and I have always loved the other poetic works of Robert Frost. Here is the original poem: Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening By Robert Frost Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with sn...

CBP Prohibited and Restricted Items

Recently we went to a Back to School festival near to us. At the event, they had a car show, snacks, booths for school children to get supplies , and also booths from the local police and border protection agencies. One of the booths, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, had a variety of unique items on display, including gem-covered beetles, vials of weevils in food products, leather from a sea turtle and elephant, and a bird claw. The officer on the right talked about all the items on display. Click to enlarge. What do all these items have in common? Well, we learned from one of the officers at the booth that these were all illegal items to try to bring over the border. Lets start with the gem-covered beetle. This is not the beetle the officer had on display, but simply an example. While this may look like a harmless product, it is actually quite cruel. That is because the beetle is captured while still alive and has the jewels pasted to its back before being put on sa...
