How To Make Smores at Home

S’mores, a popular household snack and a popular camping snack is a favorite among many. And it’s really simple to make, in fact it’s so easy I am almost too embarrassed to write this down but hey let’s go with this.

S'mores is usually made with marshmallows roasted in fire. The point is they require minimum ingredients and there is nothing much to do. But we do not have a campfire every now and then, do we? Neither do we have graham crackers here that are the biscuit said to go with s’mores. But we have digestive biscuits which pair amazingly as well.

Here is what we will need:

A bag of marshmallows (we only need a couple)

A bar of milk/dark chocolate

A packet of digestive biscuits

Instructions:

Put out how many s’mores you’re going to make and lay the digestive biscuits accordingly.
If it is dairy milk you are using (I used that one), take a section of 4 pieces.
For every s’more you want to make, take two digestive biscuits for the top and the bottom.
For the chocolate to be slightly melted, lay the bar of chocolate over the bottom digestive biscuit and microwave it for 8-10 seconds. Do not overheat it, else you will burn it.
Take your s’more, you can either broil it in the oven for a few minutes or stick the marshmallow on a toothpick over the gas stove for 4-5 seconds and no more.
Put your toasted marshmallow over your chocolate and biscuit and top it off with the other digest biscuit and press gently. Enjoy!

Rajamati

I think we’ve all heard the song of Rajamati growing up. It is so popular that many people in Nepal claim this is the only Newari song that they have heard. The song was written some 200 years back. The first few lines go like this, which I’m sure you must have heard of, unless you’ve been living under a rock: Rājamati kumati, jike wasā pirati Hāya bābā Rājamati-chā Rājamati mabila dhāsā Kāshi wane tela bubā Hayā biu Rājamati-chā. San dhāsā kuli kuli, mikhā dhāsā bālā bālā Sakumi yā mhyāy machā lā Khwā dhāsā tuyu khwā, khwālay niga tee du Tāhā Nani yā Rājamati-chā. It is said to be written by or rather from the perspective of a man who was infatuated and in awe of the beauty of Rajamati. He describes with great admiration: her hair, her eyes, her complexion and the little moles on her face. However it is unknown who the writer of this beautiful song is. The song rushed into popularity after it was played in England in 1850 when Prime Minister Jung Bahadur Rana vi...

Everyday Phases by my Mother part 2

I have been meaning to write this part 2, especially after Every Day Phrases by my Mother , the first part was liked by so many and also because, well, the phrases and the dialogues never end with my mother. I did tease her about writing a book or making a scrapbook about all her phrases, but we never got around to it. So here we are, after almost 4 years, apologies if the Nepal bhasa wordings are incorrect somewhere Ne tha ne masau Bhwauthau pwa This is basically saying, not being able to take advantage of the situation or not doing what you are supposed to do at the event. If you get invited somewhere that has food, you should eat there. Neu twanyu tha yu yethe, jui chwanyu kata pinyu yethe I have heard this one many times. In the society that we live in, impression and your social image matters a lot, especially when it comes to family prestige. So it does not matter what you do at home but once you step outside, there is this social obligation of dressing appropriately, behav...

The Oldest Kumari

Dhana Kumari Bajracharya resides amidst the hustle and bustle in Gabahal, Patan. She is a 70 year old woman, who you would think is much younger at age, if you look at her. Age seems to have done justice to this beautiful woman. What makes this wise old woman different than other wise old women in Patan? She is the oldest Kumari of Patan. Kumari, the living goddess is a tradition or a practice that has been around for many years and that has been celebrated widely in the Kathmandu Valley. The very first Kumari goes back to 17 th Century. The process to choose the Kumari is divine and a girl must go through several tests to get chosen as the Kumari. Dhana Kumari Bajracharya is the longest serving Kumari of Patan having been established as the Kumari from 2010 B.S to 2042 B.S. A whooping 32 years. Perhaps her case is the most rare that we might come across. A girl serves as a Kumari until she reaches puberty, or she has her first menstruation. After that, it is believed that th...
