Tara's Mallow Reviews!
From time-to-time, our esteemed NMRI
Public Information Officer and Media Specialist, Tara, reviews
scrumptious Marshmallow Products.
Her latest reviews are for:
Plush Puffs Orange-Honey Marshmallows
Whole Foods Vanilla Bean Marshmallows
Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Minty Mallows
The Candy Professor
The Candy Professor,
Samira
Kawash, PhD, provides the definitive
write-up of a history of marshmallow roasting in
Marshmallow Chronicles
Part I and
Part II. We certainly
enjoyed the research and writing, and it makes us want to read about
other candies and confections. Thank you, Professor!
Plush Marshmallows?
Mr. Mallow really likes these beautifully
designed plush-sewn marshmallows. Here's a link to more about them and
where they may be purchased.

Mallow
Color Continuum
(Oslo, Norway)
The Roasted Mallow Color Continuum
was revised in Oslo, March 3rd, 2011 by the European Order
of the Mallow and the President, NMRI. Note the "OOPS" color that the
judges have determined to be a valid color, owing to the fact that so many
of our roasters really like that charred, flaming taste.
Caren Slaughter, our newest member from
Folsom California, enjoys her mallows crispy with an abundance of ash.
We know she'll be delighted at the latest update to the Mallow Color
Continuum above.
The Marshmallow Guy
Ever wish you had a Marshmallow
Roasting Machine? Well Gary,
The Marshmallow Guy, has just
that for your catered events!
We may have to make Gary an honorary
member of the National Marshmallow Roasters Institute. His is just the
kind of 0utside-the-Graham Cracker-Box thinking we applaud!
S'more-tini anyone?
Our
esteemed Professor of Mallow Lore and Director of Foreign Affairs,
Nancy
Karasevich, has perfected her latest adult beverage ...
the S'more-tini.
We'll be ordering this at our favorite Malibu California hangout after
a hard day roasting on the beach. Join us at the
Sunset Restaurant & Beach Bar.
Wipe the rim of a chilled martini glass
with a lemon slice. Gently place the rim of the glass down into a bed
of finely crushed graham crackers. Remove from crushed graham crackers
and set aside.
Shake 1 1/2 oz Effen Vodka in ice.
Pour gently into the martini glass, being carefull not to disturb the
graham cracker crumbs on the edge.
Garnish with two mini-marshmallows above
one Trader Joe's, or other fine French Chocolate Truffle on a martini
skewer.
Enjoy ... and have S'more!
Giant S'mores!
(Welcome our newest members: Jake & Megan!)
We have to try this at our Sacramento
Marshmallow Festival! Have you seen the giant
Campfire marshmallows in
your grocery stores?
2" x 2" Giant Roasters
1. Place one whole Hershey's chocolate
bar on a whole graham cracker.
2. Roast one of these giant roasters (on a SmorStix skewer).
3. Place the mallow on the Chocolate bar.
4. Cover with another whole graham cracker.
Mmmm..... S'mores!
Board Promotion
The NMRI
board is proud to announce that Tara Melavic, RN, has been promoted to
Vice-President and Safety of Roasting Consulting Nurse. Tara will
retain her position as Public Information Officer and Media Specialist
until a qualified candidate for the position is found. (Who says
becoming a nurse doesn't have its perks?)
PlushPuffs a hit at
the party!
(Sacramento, CA) As we tweeted earlier, the
PlushPuff gourmet marshmallows were a big hit at our party last
Saturday. Our band, Mister Mallow and the Roasters,
went for a sample between sets, but they were all gone. That's good
news because now we'll just have to order more (and a separate stash
for the band!) We enjoyed the Simply S'mores, Caramel Swirl, and
Vanilla Bean marshmallows. You can order them too for your next gig at
PlushPuffs.com. |
