UPDATE Annual
Bexley Ohio Chapter Roast - June 19th
Yes. Ken Grace once again hosted the
sanctioned NMRI event in Bexley Ohio. He's our Vice-President, Research and Development
at the Institute. As usual this was a potluck, campout and of course,
Marshmallow Roast!
Check out our other upcoming
NMRI sanctioned roasts, festivals, and events on the
Calendar of Events.
As you can see on our calendar, June and July are pretty much filled with
events. The free days turn out to be travel days for us.

A
perfectly roasted marshmallow!

Man muss die feste Feiern wie sie fallen!
(You must celebrate the
festivals as they come! or - Any excuse to Party!)
We just love those Germans and their idiomatic expressions.
Alps Roast
The roast in the Italian Alps was a
bit soggy. But we had a lot of fun. Just a bit too much snow for May. But the
late season skiing made up for the lack of roasting. We did get in a couple good
roasts and introduced S'mores to the Italians, French and Germans skiing
with us for the week.
The Poets' Roast
is coming up
just down the road from one of our favorite places in the world, the
Frost farm in Derry, NH. Don't
miss the good poetry, mending wall basics, lightning bug chasing, and now,
marshmallow roasting down the road less traveled! Last week in June, and
we're hoping for some hot, humid, lightning bug weather.
Want to Roast better?
Let us show you how.
Our professional roasters from
all over the world will
help you learn the techniques to become one of the elite members of your
local chapter of the National Marshmallow Roasters Institute (NMRI).
Mentoring is available. We will "train the trainer" (for lack of a
better cliché). So you can lead
yourself and your teams to fun and profitability. And as always,
perfect roasting is our ultimate goal! Remember the four T's when judging
the roasted mallows (Tint, Texture, Toastability, and Taste). See the
results of our 4-T Roast Test
here.
What is the NMRI Virtual Think Tank?
We like to ponder most anything mallow and
attend Marshmallow festivities around the world. We like the Puff
Girls' confections (See
The Perfect Roast page) and the annual Ligonier Indiana
Marshmallow Festival. The Munich
Mallowfest is scheduled to be visited during our annual sojourn to the
Oktoberfest this September in Germany!
Roast the Mallow!
Whether in Paris (rôtissoires des
Guimauves!) or Munich (Mäusespeck
Grillen!) or sunny Santa
Barbara (Roast the Mallow!), we don't just sit around the camp fire philosophizing about
roasting marshmallows, or wishing we had some S'mores... NO! We
Roast the Mallow! And we do it around the world...Virtually... with
YOU ... our extended teams of roasters.
And for the perfect roast, Visit our
Perfect Roast
page where you'll find information and a link to
Smorstix, the
official skewers of the National Marshmallow Roasters Institute. And the
skewer preferred by roasters at the fire pits at Northstar Ski Resort near
Lake Tahoe, CA.

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 marshmallow and died eating his way out
(what a pleasant way to go, though). Allergy
alert: Marshmallows used in competition may 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 of 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 intended for use by Republicans, Democrats or anyone under
the age of 21. If you are not responsible enough to drink until age 21, you
should not join the Army or roast marshmallow either, and do please refrain from roasting marshmallows without
NMRI supervision.
NMRI literature printed on recycled predeceased trees that were determined to
have fallen of their own free will (without making a sound in the forest). Level
5 Vegans (those who eat nothing that casts a shadow) awarded free membership,
when and if they come down from out of the Redwood Trees in 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!
