Marshmellows

SO, I am suppose to be working and I just needed to take a small, short, lunch/blog break.

Are marshmellows weird to anyone else? I decided I wanted some a couple of weeks ago when we were at the grocery store and they aren't that expensive but for some reason I can't just eat a lot of them. I brought some today, to work, to have with my lunch. They are kinda weird. They have a weird texture and they leave a weird powder on your hands. Let me enlighten you as to what is in them. Ingrediant one corn syrup. Ingrediant two sugar. Ingrediant three modified corn starch. Ingrediant four water. I don't think I need to go any further. Now for the nutrition facts: a serving is 2/3 cup. 100 calories. no fat. 25mg of sodium. 18 grams of sugar. and less than one gram of protein. WOW. It has some protein. Very impressive.

I think I will eat some more now!

But they sure are good toasted over a fire...especially if they actually catch on fire and you have to blow them out....then add some Hershey bar and a graham cracker...mmmmmm...I better stop or I am going to wish for fall and it is just finally spring....
