My dad

his "Grampa"

Ritz crackers

sometimes stale

peanut butter, always 

sandwiches

lay the salt side in

make a dozen the night before

in the fridge next to the cucumber and the hunk of cheese

no time to fuss on the boat

there are fish to haul in.

My son

after school

before soccer

before basketball

"Mom, can I eat them all?"

licks the salt off his fingers

runs off to play.

Ritz Cracker S'mores

(make as many as you want, 6 for me)

6 Ritz crackers

6 teaspoons peanut butter

24 chocolate chips

3 marshmallows

Spread 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on each cracker.  Place 4 chocolate chips onto peanut butter on each cracker.  Cut marshmallows in half horizontally with scissors.  Place 1/2 marshmallow on peanut butter and chocolate chips, sticky side down.  Line up crackers on a cookie sheet.  Preheat broiler to high.  Toast marshmallows to golden brown, 1-2 minutes.  Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before shoving them in your mouth.
