Yet another evening in the MelanieSuzanne and PenguinInArmor home

[melaniesuzanne]

Hubbyfink is watching "Deep Sea Salvage" (which is so appropriate for the HISTORY CHANNEL) and one of the guys was using a cutting torch. The narrator mentioned the temperature of the torch and Hubbyfink said, "That's a mite bit warm."

"Yeah," I respond. "I bet you could make quick work of roasting a marshmallow with one of those."

Of course, Google has failed me because it's not returning any useful hits for how long it would take to melt a marshmallow over a cutting torch. Inquiring minds want to know!

Been there, done that. It doesn't toast, it sublimates. Kinda cool, but not at all helpful in the making of smores.

Funny, we have been (on and off) watching the same thing.

Oooh, sublimation is okay. =)

How about a Hot Dog?

I used Bing. It was better.

According to the first review, he turned a frozen hot dog into pure carbon in under 30 seconds!

I made my husband cry by reading that review. He's in agony from laughing so hard. And, of course, he wants one. Yikes!

I have no useful experience with respect to marshmallows and torches, however-- making s'mores with those newfangled flat Butterfinger bars is phenomenal.

Ooh, that does sound delish!

You wouldn't want to eat anything cooked directly in a propane or polypropylene flame. That there is some dirty fuel.

Too true, sadly.
