Today, my students had s'mores and I am once again the best teacher in the school.
Norway doesn't have graham crackers, but Hilde and I found some biscuits (cookies) that worked out really well.
During the last hour we went outside in the pouring rain to the fire shack. Trude had already started a fire for us and I instructed everyone to get a skinny long stick. It took a little while, but they got them. Then I showed them how to make a s'more.
First you make sure you have two biscuits, two pieces of chocolate and one marshmallow. The I showed them how to roast the marshmallow to perfection. After it was done I held my stick between my legs, and squished the marshmallow between the two biscuits with chocolate and pulled it off the stick. There were noises of amazement all around the fire. When I took a bite and the marshmallow squished out all over my face, the "ohhh!" sounded in unison. Then I passed out all of the ingredients and the kids started making their s'mores.
Hilde and Trude tried them as well. When I asked them what they thought Hilde said "It was okay." Then Trude interrupted and said "Okay? That was delicious!"
S'more day... success!
