http://carmemily.com/2009/10/03/marshmallows/ Carmen and Emily started this blog to commemorate their long standing friendship. In February 2010 Emily joined the Navy and hasn't had reliable internet since. While Carmen wistfully awaits contact she has decided to only post pictures of the sky until Emily's return.

I didn't even know what marshmallows were made out of until now. Can you imagine the person who invented it? Probably alot of trial and error................well, after a little research... turns out, as I'm sure you knew, original Marshmallows come from the mucilaginous root of the Althaea officinalis plant. I'm pretty sure mucilaginous means a sticky consistency, high viscosity. The root of the plant was used for sore throats and other parts of the plant were used for all kinds of medicines. That is, until they figured out that sugar is the best medicine. Thus, the confectioners delight was invented. And thats exactly what I would say to the Aliens.
