My Amerisleep AS3 Unboxing Video (Surprise, my voice is ridiculous!) If I can (just barely) do it, you can totally tackle a bed-in-a-box by yourself. Updated 10/15/22 Amerisleep's AS5 was recently featured as the 'Best Soft Mattress in a Box' by Good Housekeeping , with the panel of reviewers noting: Pressure relief for side sleepers Taller than other boxed mattresses Good customer service Amerisleep Mattress Reviews We've been happy Amerisleep customers since purchasing our first AS3 mattress more than 9 years ago. Now we also have an AS2 and an AS4 (the AS3 is still our favorite). Born with chronic insomnia (even as a baby - my family insists I was a nightmare), the struggle to improve my sleep is my life. My husband, the overly-analytical mechanical engineer, was initially skeptical of a mail-order mattress, but he was quickly won over. 2012: Wine glass test, sans wine. I was fairly confident our brand-new mattress would pass with f
We're overdue for a trip to Costco. While craving the sweet and salty yummyness that is s'mores with pink Himalayan sea salt, I opened our pantry door and discovered a horrible, terrible thing.
No graham crackers!
(As the very person who'd polished off the graham crackers a few days earlier, you wouldn't think I'd have been so surprised, but what can you do?)
Instead of ignoring my s'mores craving in favor of, say, a stalk of celery, I improvised and created a new kind of s'more. Some (Sexy Nerd) will tell you it's better than the original. Others (me) will tell these new s'mores that they're cute, and even that they make a tasty snack, but not to bet on a recurring role in my kitchen. My heart belongs to graham.
Pretzel S'mores Recipe
Ingredients: (self explanatory, but I'll get questions if I leave this out!)
Mini pretzels
Chocolate chips
Mini marshmallows
Peanut butter (optional - this way is Sexy Nerd's favorite, but I'm not much of a peanut butter fan)
Peanut butter (optional - this way is Sexy Nerd's favorite, but I'm not much of a peanut butter fan)
These cooked up in just about 3 minutes in our countertop toaster/convection oven, set to 300F. Keep an eye on your pretzel s'mores. You want to get your marshmallow toasty and your chocolate melty, but not burn your pretzel. It helps to place them close to the upper heat source.
I always strive to be fair, so when this batch was finished, I divided the pretzel s'mores evenly to share with Sexy Nerd, "one for you, one for me" style.
Like this:
"One for you."
"One for me."
