Flickr user Frances Civello has a pretty neat photo here. The first thing that struck me was the shallow depth of field and that having the packaging out of focus does not reduce its ability to send its particular message. The second thing that struck me is that these are all ingredients for s’mores. All that’s missing is a bonfire. That’s a good thing, mind you, as it’s way too hot for a fire right now.

It got me thinking about what other special ingredients people might like. I have always had a bit of a fascination with s’mores, leading back to when I was a child and my Uncle Mike took my brother and me on an adventure in rural western PA, where we played in the creek, had a picnic dinner and then made s’mores – something I had not encountered before in my seven or so years as a lad in Cleveland.
