Happy 90th Anniversary, Fluff!

FluffIsn't Marshmallow Fluff one of the great American inventions? I mean, it's a jar filled with creamy marshmallow and has a great name like "Fluff," how can you not love it? Even the font on the bottle screams American pop culture and food nostalgia.

This is the 90th Anniversary of the white stuff, which was invented in Somerville, MA by Archibald Query (great name!). The city had a celebration this past weekend, with cooking contests, food, music, games, and other activities.

I love Fluff. Though I never really ate Fluffernutter sandwiches (fluff and peanut butter) when I was a kid. I never really enjoyed the combo. But I did put it in my hot chocolate all the time. I'd put a huge scoop on top and end up eating it before I drank any of the hot chocolate and I'd have to put in another scoop on top. It wasn't easy - tiny individual marshmallows are easier to maneuver than a heaping blob of white - but it was fun and tasty.

Your assignment today: if you haven't bought Fluff in a long time, go out and buy some. Here are some recipes.

I use it in baking nowadays. When my mom sends me a jar, at least. LOL
