I am shocked and repulsed by the (sudden?) gourmet marshmallow trend. Available at Whole Foods and instructions in Martha Stewart Living for doing it at home. Flavored with rose water, Meyer lemon, lavender, green tea, cognac, vanilla, enrobed in noble dark chocolate. No.

How can this be?

One minute everything was normal. Marshmallows came in giant bags that cost a dollar and went into down home desserts that nobody wanted to eat.

Now everything is crazy and I don’t like it.
