On April 29, we decided to sit outside and have a campfire in the lovely weather.
Bruce got the campfire going. We enjoyed watching it while we sat in our camp chairs listening to the sound of the cicadas.
Our next door neighbors had hitched up their RV and headed home, so we had a clear view of the lake.
Once the fire had turned into hot coals, I brought out the hot dogs and fixings for them. We skewered the hot dogs on our wire sticks and held them over the coals until browned.
After dressing the hot dogs and eating them, we toasted marshmallows over the coals.
Hmmm, it is a good thing I enjoy burnt marshmallows. Some of my marshmallows went from just a little brown to on fire, in a snap of fingers.

Isn’t that how you’re supposed to cook them? Catch them on fire, then blow them out and eat them?

Well, that’s how it usually works for me. Trying to get the perfect golden brown outside is hard and catching them on fire is easy.

I never tried for golden brown. I enjoyed crispy and black! 😆

You know it is summer when you can have a campfire with hotdogs and marshmallows. I saw an idea on pinterest for smores in a croissant, by cutting the croissant open and putting the chocolate and marshmallow inside, then wrapping the whole thing up in tinfoil. That sounds soooo yummy but also very unhealthy!

It sounds yummy and easier than trying to melt chocolate to put on gram crackers.

I do love a chocolate croissant, so maybe this is the best of both worlds. Maybe I will have to try this with the mini size croissants this summer when we have guests.

Bruce loves chocolate croissants as well. We have a bakery right near the current RV park that makes chocolate and plain croissants. We had croissants for breakfast on Saturday. They are sooo goooooood!
