I didn't answer your question...no, I don't remember marshmallows in a box. Not that I'm that young(will be 42 this year), but don't remember them. My mother wouldn't let us eat sugar, so even if they were available, we would have never known it :0)

I can SO relate to the melting the spatula episode, lol...one time when I was about 13, my brother had a friend over that I had a huge crush on. I solicited the three of us to "grill" some marshmallows over the gas burner. I got out three forks, and six marshmallows, and we started turning them together over the flame. I was beaming inside, but trying to stay "cool", and composed at my excitement that they both wanted to do this with me.

I was concentrating very hard on making a perfectly toasted marshmallow to show off for this boy(oh, being a teenager!, lol...), and then, I suddenly noticed my marshmallow was slipping, slipping fast! I started to turn my fork wildly, but the more I did, the more it kept slipping.

Turns out I had handed them flatware, and had used a plastic fork myself. The plastic fork had melted to the neck, and so it was just flopping wildly over the burner. They died laughing at me, and the rest of the day, poked fun at how stupid that was of me...good grief. I was mortified...

Happy ending was that I ended up "going with" him as we called it then, for the next three years, but that particular day, I felt I had ruined it, lol...I was so embarrassed.

Hi Kassia-How is nursing going for you? Must be hard to be stuck in a long shift at the hospital, when it is nice weather, and the roses needing tending to, :0)

I'm sorry to hear you are down to just Cocoa... :0( Are you going to get more?

Yes, still have plans for one outside,and one inside. The indoors one is being held up by finding just the right dollhouse patio set(I want to make a scene inside a one gallon windowsill aquarium I found, complete with partiere partions and potted sinningias), and the outdoor one is held up for lack of plant material available at the moment...

So many places are just now starting to get their stuff...

Roses are just becoming available...couldn't pass up this lovely orange w/ pink & yellow
