 First time I submit a photo at here. I had fun time trying to recreate a meteore using a marshmallow and a propane torch... Was smelling way too much burned candies in my basement! Oh! and the smoke detector was screaming soooo much. I know, the picture is looking burned, but way it is when you picture a shooting star. Interrestingly enough, the gray almost black section of the "rock" was actually the white of the marshmallow. Took about 10 tries prior getting this one.

Could have been, but much funnier! Was a marshmallow blown with a propane torch. Imagine the burn sugar smell in a house... Thanks for your comment!
