[276/366] fire

[cosmolinguist]

"Let's go set some things on fire," mother_bones said, so we did because they have a new fire pit. We inaugurated it with a charcoal fire, and just after we'd pulled up chairs around it I took a deep breath of the delicious smoke and said "I feel like I should have marshmallows to toast, or a beer in my hand." So strongly do I associate bonfires with these things. A beer I could've done, but marshmallows prove harder to find on this benighted island as I know well.

Not long afte, though, diffrentcolours came back from B&M with not just more beer (our favorites: Platform 6.1, Ginger Tom and Headspace) but also a big bag of the big marshmallows that are so perfect for this.

So we toasted marshmallows on the fire, and then had a dinner of "other things we can put on the fire": hot dogs, halloumi, vegetables on skewers....

We sat and chatted as it got dark, a special treat and a cozy evening to finish what has been for me a long and fairly miserable week.

I can almost feel it like I was there with you. The neighbors had a fire in their fire pit last week and I roasted a marshmallow for a smore.

What a lovely way to finish your week.

That’s funny. Vegan marshmallows are hard to get so in my head it feels like I see non-vegan ones all the time :)

Huzzah for proper marshmallows to roast, and good drinks and friends to share them with.
