Yummy S’mores . . .

Hi everybody! At the intern orientation I said that I like food and to eat and I mentioned my food drawer. So I figured it would only be appropriate to mention a new addition to my drawer: Kroger’s Baked Cheese Balls. Does anyone remember the original Planters Cheez Balls? My childhood is filled with memories of lunchtime, the playground, and Cheez Balls. Needless to say, I was saddened when my friend told me that Planters stopped making them. But I’ve found a decent stand-in – I can’t say “replacement” because nothing can replace authentic Cheez Balls. Anyway, they’re delicious and healthy because they’re baked… well, healthiER because they’re baked. And while on the theme of childhood, I thought of s’mores. So if you’re ever having a craving for s’mores, you should go to Halcyon down the street on the corner of 4th and Colorado (I believe, it’s across from 219 West). It’s a cozy, little place where they’ll give you a plate of marshmallows to toast over your own personal table fire and let the marshmallow melt the chocolate in between two graham crackers. Yes, you can go to HEB and make some at home, but what’s the fun in that? You get to laugh at the people who blacken their marshmallows (I’m one of them – never quite mastered marshmallow toasting). Besides you get to play with fire in public =).
