Sunday

Wonder Daddy had a family funeral to attend on Saturday afternoon, so he left the house early Sunday morning to be here in time for 10:00 church. Now THAT is dedication! We had a lovely time at the little church, as always. (And, as always this time of year, visitors nearly outnumbered the locals!)

Since Ernie has been excited for S'mores ever since my parents bought their little beach house, but we never find the time to build a fire and cook and eat s'mores before we catch an evening ferry, I took matters into my own hands. Yes, this is totally cheating but LOOK at those faces! Bliss! Fudge-striped cookies (the kind that's short bread with chocolate stripes on top and chocolate coating on the bottom) make amazing s'mores, no extra chocolate needed. A couple of minutes in the broiler to let the marshmallows get molten and golden, top them with another cookie, and you're good to go! (Well, let them cool a bit.) (Please notice that Mimi would not touch hers until I wrapped it in a napkin. Yes, this is the child that wouldn't touch her first birthday cake until I handed her a fork.)
