Another snowy, wintry day here today, but it's not quite so cold, so I'm not quite so cranky.

This has nothing to do with your post, but I was just looking up your recipe for roasted potatoes (making them tonight) and was shocked and amazed to read the post on making your own marshmallows. Please, please tell me this isn't true. I was just, this Christmas, mocking the Martha Stewart article on making your own marshmallows. Are they really worth it? Isn't it a little ostentatious to say, "I made some hot chocolate, would you like me to toss on a couple of my HOMEMADE marshmallows?" Until this Christmas, I didn't know it was even possible to make your own marshmallows -- don't they just grow on trees in some foreign country, like fruit and nuts??
You crack me up -- but I would like to try one!
