Floody Times Banana Campers

Well, guys, it sure has been a wet week here at the apartment! After several nerve-wreaking days (my nails are ruined from all the nervous biting!), the water seems to have stopped rising... just a foot or so below the barrier! Whew! Thanks to the wonderful people at Cruise Properties for putting it up and keeping us all dry and cozy!

Well, fortunately for Spencer, he's been in New York all this time, at his internship! His first day was today, and I know it must've been a blast making all those great laughies. Hope he's having fun in the City of Pizza! 

Even though I have had a hankering for pizza, I haven't had a chance (or the change LOL) to go out for some za. But after a long morning of class and a pretty good workout, I worked up quite an appetite this afternoon! I fixed myself a yummy sandwich made from canned chicken and a single fried egg with some stuck-together shredded cheese (Mexican blend... Olé!!!), but still had a hankering for something. So I got creative!

And whipped up a new treat: The Banana Camper!

BANANA CAMPER

He's a cute little fella, and so simple to make! All you need is the following: 

• Marshmallow fluff (or just regular marshmallows, though you'll have to get 'em melty!)
• Nutella! (Or any variation of a hazelnut spread)
• Graham Crackers
• One Banana

Oops! I snacked on half of the banana before the shoot. It was too good to resist!

They're so easy! And they'd be a great after-school treat, after a long day at work, or for relaxing after a long day at the beach (or, if you're me, a long day on your deck! LOL!)!

First, break the cracker in half. This can get a little nerve-wracking... what if it crumbles? Now, my father was always one for order, but my mother was a little more qui sera sera of a food philosopher. So, just let your instinct do the breaking! 

Dollop some marshmallow on the cracker and spread it evenly...

...but don't forget to clean your spoon!!! LOL. But be sure to rinse the spoon with soap before continuing. 

Now for the Nutella!

Like the breaking of the cracker, the cutting of the 'naner might be a little stressful. Just be cautious of the location of your limbs and digits and find your mental happy place. Envision a crackling campfire or a chorus of culinary angels guiding your utensil. You can't go wrong! 

Now, from my experience, the average graham cracker will hold an average of four average sized slices from a normal banana. Place the first slice on a corner of a cracker... either cracker will work!

Here's number two...

...and number three...

...and number four! Boy, I wish it wasn't flooded outside.

Now, carefully lay the ipsilateral cracker on its sister. 

Yes, yes, I've got a bit of NUTELLA on my pinky! Be prepared to get a little messy!

And, YUM!

What should I make next? Feel free to send your ideas, thoughts, and non-perishable food items my way, and I'll do my best to respond! Even if there's a FLOOD of responses! HAHAHA.
