I think I am going to attempt to make marshmallows today

It's kinda a blah day today. I think this might be a nice project for me and DD.

I guess I better get the laundry done first though.

DS and I made them last year using Alton Browns recipe- they were yummy

I made them last year.  I added a drop or two of mint extract and they were soooo good.  Don't add more than 2 drops or they will be overpowering.  I gave all of our neighbors minty marshmallows and a tin of cocoa mix and they loved it.

Best not to make these in rainy weather. They get kind of tough.

 

 

I'm not sure why this makes a difference.  The humidity sensor on our furnace keeps our house at the same humidity level whether it's raining or not outside.
