S’mores Donut

This has been quite a wonderful summer, and nothing defines summer as much as S’mores. To think such simple ingredients can create such a wonderful snack is amazing. Just in case you don’t know what S’mores are; well they are roasted (almost to black) marshmallows, that are then put on top of milk chocolate and then sandwiched between two graham crackers. The outcome is a messy, gooey, melted chocolate snack that is delicious. I didn’t think it could get much better than that, but then Tim Horton’s came in this summer and introduced the S’mores Donut. The donut consists of a chocolate donut that is dipped in chocolate and then pieces of marshmallows, milk chocolate and graham cracker are added on top. This donut was also delicious and unfortunately, just like summer only lasted a limited time.

Lobster

A local supermarket in my neighbourhood had lobster on sale this past weekend so I decided to stop by and pick some up. I don’t usually splurge on anything, but I do like to spend my money on eating well. All summer long I had skipped local supermarket sales on lobsters, so I was eager to finally eat one. Little did I know the one’s on sale would be mutant size lobsters when I finally saw them. Although the one’s I bought were a little pricey, I just kept thinking that compared to ordering them in a restaurant I was getting a super deal. At the end of the day you only live once, and this meal was a once in a life time (or many times) experience. Although the lobsters were hugemongous, the meat tasted better than any lobster I had ever had, and it was totally worth every penny!

Good Eating: Pancakes

Today I made butterscotch pancakes with whip cream on top, caramel swirl and toasted walnuts. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to travel to the US this summer and visit an IHOPS, so I had to make my own at home. It still came out tasting amazing, and as a bonus it saved me from not having to travel all the way to Long Island and waste money on gas. I copied the recipe from memory and now I know I came make them all year round, which is even better.
