It’s a dark and stormy day, heavy rain and thick fog, though it’s not that cold. Trade off, I guess.
Before we get to the good stuff, or depending on your perspective, the medium stuff, or the the stuff that distracts you for a few minutes, I want to thank a person who is absolutely the good stuff for the coffee. Deb, it’s incredibly gratifying to know my rambles amble just the right way in your direction. Thank you.
And on to Friday.
Last night I made marshmallows, for no other reason than I wanted marshmallows. The recipe was ridiculously easy; I recommend watching the video to see when to start the timer on the sugar because this recipe doesn’t use a candy thermometer.
I just cut them and they are FABULOUS. Obviously I had to try one. YUM.
It’s funny, I’ve been thinking about them for a long time, I can’t really eat the ones from the store, they have chemicals in them that trigger migraines for me. So I thought and thought and thought about marshmallows.
Finally I looked up “quickest marshmallows” or something like that, got the recipe in the link above and off I went, since I had everything I needed.
We do that a lot, let something reside only inside the confines of our thoughts, even when it taps constantly on the window, politely asking to be let out.
What happens if we listen?
In my case, I get marshmallows.
Maybe not everything is attainable. Maybe that’s a defeatist idea to start out with, or maybe it’s a realistic one, I’m not really sure as I listen to the rain hitting the window in sharp little bursts.
But maybe it’s possible to figure out the ones that are attainable, the ones we can get to and manage and give to ourselves.
The low-hanging fruit, as they say.
Although in this case, the low-hanging fruit was a marshmallow.
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend.
