Kenneth & Diane Barrow: Rice Krispy Treats

Sunday, August 9

Last week when we were having zone conferences we ate pizza for lunch at one of the church buildings, with all our missionaries in the zone. One of the packages of condiments to put on the pizza was this Tajun hot sauce (which I think they meant to call it Cajun Hot Sauce).

Saturday night Dad, Ben, and I hiked up a zig zaggy/switch backs road instead of our normal climbing the mountain, because of the angle of the view. Over one of the many bridges around our area the Fireworks Festival was held. In order for us to see the fireworks we sat down on the wooden sidewalk lining the street, peeking through the slats of the railing peering through the forest looking down the mountain. Fun activity!

Dad had his binoculars with him so he could see the fireworks better. He would tell us when heart shapes would appear, stars, smiley faces, etc.

Sometimes we would hear loud thunder sounds that must have been low lying fireworks because it looked like the mountain was aglow with fire from behind.

As we were driving to Suseong on Sunday to speak in the English speaking military branch we passed this bus on the road. There must be a LSU graduate somewhere in Korea.

This morning Dad and I made Rice Krispy Treats for our missionaries to eat after lunch. It took us a couple of hours to make nine batches of Rice Krispy Treats in the size pots we have to cook in. Dad was great at beating those marshmallows in the melted butter. We purchased large bags of marshmallows at Costco. We bought Cocoa Krispy/Tasco brand at homemart (we hardly ever shop there). Then we got the plain Rice Krispy somewhere else. In order to make something large scale (for all 141 missionaries that we have right now in our mission) we usually have to plan ahead and buy an item when we happen to see it.
