Burning marshmallows were a common sight at last night’s bonfire and barbeque. Yesterday, all of Calico Jack Pavilion’s hardworking chefs could be seen carrying food, a grill, and plenty of other things to prepare for the spectacular barbecue. When it started, at 7:00, almost everyone was there in an instant. Food (very good food, may I add) was piled on plates and quickly devoured. Steak, chicken, Caesar salad, and corn were just some of the things available. Then, the dessert! So good! Warm cookies with ice cream and baked apples. Following that, one of the cooks doused a bunch of crates with gasoline and threw a match onto them. A pile of graham crackers, chocolate, ad marshmallows was then set out. Kids ran around the fire, unsure of whether or not to go. Finally, one of the youngest kids decided to stick a marshmallow into the flames, which as you might imagine put all of us older kids to shame. I lit a few on fire (personally I think that the best marshmallows are the burned ones), and then handed my stick to someone else. I left when it began to get dark, full of chocolate and hoping that I wouldn’t be kept up all night by it.
