Most people in Wisconsin are\u00a0dreaming of being\u00a0somewhere warmer right now, like Tobolsk (a town in Siberia), Russia.\u00a0 This morning, the thermometer outside the kitchen window read negative twenty degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0 Of the eight years I’ve been living in Wisconsin, I have never seen it\u00a0dip that low.\u00a0 It feels absolutely brutal out there.\u00a0 The last time\u00a0Keith let Ollie dog out, he lifted three of his paws from being cold and then fell on his back.\u00a0 The poor little munchkin didn’t want to move.\u00a0\u00a0He had to carry him in.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I’ve been wanting to make homemade marshmallows for awhile now.\u00a0 It would be perfect to plop atop hot chocolate, as a special\u00a0treat for my\u00a0music students.\u00a0 It’s actually very easy.\u00a0 The key is to have all your materials ready, and your ingredients measured before hand.\u00a0 Also, don’t worry about having the final fluff perfectly leveled and flat or else you will have a stringy sticky mess all over you and your kitchen.\u00a0 Give the pan a little shake and it will flatten out.<\/p>\n
