Zoo, Beatles, Susan G. Komen and Cookies and Cream Smores

Last month I met my family at the zoo for my now annual tradition of seeing Ticket to the Beatles perform at Jungle Boogie Friday nights. Here is my boyfriend Charlie waiting to meet my family for the first time....
And Ticket to the Beatles...even though I didn't get to see them for very long. grrrr.... Going to another one of their concerts in October next to the river.

We then went to cool down in the stinky penguin house!!!

Then watched these two goofballs mimicking each other...they were hilarious.

And saw the zebras going crazy cause it was apparently mating season and the female wasn't having it...

Then the next day got up early to go to the Susan G. Komen walk. It was stormy when I got up, but there was only 5 minutes of rain during the walk. These are some people who decided to paint their bodies and hope they wouldn't sweat it off.

And there was a tortoise in the walk! He was moving pretty fast too.

And here's the recipe that I thought was going to be full of chocolatey goodness. This is the batter...which there clearly wasn't enough of...which led to the disaster to come.

Crushed up Oreo's....which apparently I was supposed to pulverize...the directions did not imply this at all....

Mixed into the batter...which was supposed to be completely brown because the Oreo's should've been pulverized....

Layer some Hershey bars on top of half of the batter....

Then a layer of marshmellow fluff....

Then you're supposed to spread on the rest of the batter. It's really hard to spread something over marshmellow...especially when there isn't enough of that something....

Right out of the oven you could see the marshmellow bubbling up and exploding through the batter. Which left this hard, cooled lava look. Apparently it tasted fairly decent for looking like a pile of slop. Mary and Charlie ate a little and then I had to throw the rest away because I couldn't handle looking at it anymore.
