Summer is almost over and another year has gone by without
us taking a camping trip. Every year we talk about it wistfully, remembering
the campfires, the quiet and clear nights under the stars, the bacon and eggs breakfast
that always tastes so much better from a camp stove, and of course, the
s’mores. But as great as all of those things are, my favorite camping trip ever
took place in our own living room.
For my birthday week (yes, week) a few years ago, Andy surprised
me with an indoor camping extravaganza. He is notoriously bad at waiting to
give gifts, and several days before my birthday, he just couldn’t wait any
longer. I was sent upstairs with a glass of wine and instructions to close the
door behind me. Soon after, I heard odd noises coming from downstairs.
Turns out, putting up a ridiculously large tent indoors by
yourself can be a bit difficult. The noises I heard were the mile-long tent
poles scraping against the walls and Andy described a scene that I would have
paid to witness. After his wrestling match was over and the entire living room
was turned into a tent (complete with equally large air mattress and fluffy
sleeping bags), we did indeed have our indoor camping extravaganza. And the
tent may or may not have stayed up for at least a week, and I may or may not
have passed out in it after overindulging on my actual birthday. Best camping trip ever.
For your next indoor camping trip, make a batch of s’mores
martinis in place of the real deal, no campfire necessary.
S’mores Martini
Makes 1 or 2, depending on size of glass
4 ounces fluffed marshmallow vodka
1 ounce crème de cacao
1 teaspoon chocolate syrup, plus extra for rim
2 tablespoons Cool Whip
graham cracker crumbs
Pour some chocolate syrup onto one saucer and graham cracker
crumbs onto another. Dip the rim of the martini glass into the chocolate syrup
and then into the crumbs to coat.
Put vodka, crème de cacao, 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup and
Cool Whip into a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into prepared
glass.
Now that's my kind of camping!
