so lucky

so remember the marshmallows?

the ones that i botched and had to pry

free from a cutting board,

cursing myself in the process?

well, it turns out that little incident

didn't matter - they must have still tasted

a little sweet, slightly spiced, a bit chocolatey,

light and airy, just like i intended,

because the squares have been chosen

as a finalist in this week's contest on food52.

if you remember how much

i love making marshmallows,

then you know what it means to me

that they are even under consideration for

the cookbook. another highlight: in

their description of the recipe, amanda

and merrill said that they had fun

making them. that made my day.

you can find the recipe here.
