It's alive! It's alive...our blog, that is. While we didn't need bolts of lightning to get it jump started, we can certainly enjoy the growing popularity (thanks to you, dear readers) just as Dr. Frankenstein enjoyed the rapture of creating life out of corpses (my kind of guy). In case you haven't figured it out August 30 is Frankenstein Day. Although I've always been more of a vampire and/or zombie fan, the Frankenstein tale is definitely an interesting one. In 1818, a woman named Mary Wollenstone Shelley wrote a fairly groundbreaking book called
Frankenstein. However, this day is not commemorating the release or publication of the book but rather Shelley's birth on August 30, 1797. I pulled out my edition of her novel and we decided to watch the 1931 film version of Frankenstein starring Boris Karloff. Be sure to come back on the last Friday in October for Frankenstein Friday!
We actually had more than I thought.
Today is also Toasted Marshmallow Day. I can't think of very many people who don't enjoy a nice, warm, gooey toasted marshmallow on a bed of chocolate in between two graham crackers (aka S'More), and the Holiday Hero and I are certainly no different. We got some "Jumbo" marshmallows and made a delightful dessert for ourselves:
The wonders of a gas stove.
Fire up your nose!
Pyro-fun!
Another short one today. See ya!
CS, out.
