Just what is the S'more Soup in our Michigan Gift Baskets?

Andrew Norton

I was talking to a customer the other day who wanted to customize our Tastes of Michigan basket for a client. One of the Michigan products she wanted to remove from the basket was the S'more Soup because it sounded "disgusting." Well, I thought I had better clear the air about what S'more Soup is all about. On the back of the 'S'more Soup' package there is the following poem -

When you come in from the cold to warm your feet, Enjoy this little 'S'more Soup' treat. It's just for you and only you. . . I've included a delicious cookie too! Remember the nights by the fire... as the 'cold' draws near, And sip this cup of cocoa, it'll warm you up my dear.

S'more Soup is a simple yet delicious treat of cocoa with marshmallows, a cinnamon stick to stir it with, gourmet caramelized cookie, and a milk chocolate bar.

Once I explained the S'more Soup and the novelty of it all to her our customer thought it was a neat little product (we do too). I don't know, maybe she thought it was a soup that you ate out of a bowl. Chunks of graham crackers and chocolate floating in a bowl of hot cocoa with big fluffy marshmallows probably would not sound too appetizing.

You can find the S'more Soup in the Tastes of Michigan and Travel Box gift baskets.

Have a Great Weekend! :)

Campfires, S'mores, and Baseball

Andrew Norton

We had our first campfire of the year last night. It was a gorgeous day and we spent the afternoon working in the flowerbeds and just enjoying the warmth. Below is a picture of our campfire.

First campfire of 2006

I didn't have the camera with me when the fire was blazing out of the sides and catching the wooden handle on fire. We had a lot of sticks in the fire pit that we had picked up this spring and they really generated some heat. I had to get some water and soak down what was left of the handle in hopes of salvaging it.

A nontraditional campfire meal of spaghetti was shared around the fire followed by some delicious schmoes (s'mores to you). I really don't know where we came up with calling s'mores schmoes. At some point our family just started calling them that and it has stuck.

We would have roasted hot dogs, but my son and I had hot dogs for lunch to help get in the mood for the Detroit Tigers home opener yesterday. Even though the Tigers lost I wish I could have been there. Anyway, we had a great day yesterday. :)
