S'more-tini anyone?
Our
esteemed Professor of Mallow Lore and Undersecretary to the President,
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?)
The NMR Institute Virtual Band!
We've
decided on the name (or should I say 'Names') of the band. You
see, the band name can change as different songs are sung. For
example, when we sing 'Rock this town' we are
Mr. Mallow and the Roasters.
But when we sing 'Fat Bottom Girls' we are
The Flaming Mallows.
When we sing our own songs like 'I Love Marsmallows' (to the tune of
Joan Jett's 'I love Rock and Roll') we are
The S'mores. More
names can be found on our NMRI blog at
http://MisterMallow.blogspot.com.
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.

No Very few fur-bearing
animals were harmed during the creation of this web site (There was a gerbil
that got caught in a bag of marshmallows in San Francisco, and died eating his way out (what a
pleasant way to go, though). Allergy alert: Marshmallows used in competition do contain gelatin, but we doubt they
will make you gravely or debilitatingly ill, unless you are a level 4
or 5 Vegan. Not recommended for persons with sugar-restricted diets.
Marshmallows may cause irritability, sleeplessness or implosive constipation
(ouch!) after prolonged
consumption. Contents under pressure when heated over open flame. BHT added to
preserve freshness (Mmmm...BHT).
Caution: Marshmallows have recently been found to cause some laboratory rats to
rip through their cages, fly across the room and brutally murder innocent rhesus monkeys at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Shake monkeys
well before using.
Please use a handsfree device for your cell phone while roasting. Marshmallows
are not
to be combined with other radioisotopes except under the advice of an official
NMRI Roasting Judge or our staff cellular and molecular biologist at the
institute. Avoid prolonged exposure to campfires.
The truth is out there. Use no hooks without proper bait. Eight is your lucky
number. This site not endorsed by Republicans, Democrats or anyone ever elected. Please refrain from roasting marshmallows without
proper NMRI supervision.
NMRI literature printed on recycled pre-deceased trees that were determined to
have fallen of their own free will (without making a sound in the forest,
of course). Level
5 Vegans (those who eat nothing that casts a shadow) are awarded honorary membership,
when and if they ever come down (or are hog-tied and lowered into the waiting
arms of the nice police officers) from tree-sitting in the Redwood Trees in Northern California.
Disputes between roasters will be mediated by the International Order of the
Mallow in Paris France during the NMRI Festival of the Mallow, on the Champs
Elysee at Cafe Etats Unis, the third Wednesday in June in Leap years at
midnight.... Wenn Gott will, natürlich!

NMRI Quiver
The
president's
SmorStix Quiver, just right for the roasts on the beaches in Santa
Cruz, CA, is shown below. It holds as many SmorStix roasting skewers as I
need. I'll be wearing it as I pass out and collect skewers at our
