Volume 3, Issue 1: Composition Transcends Instrument

Hi friends! Happy 2022! I’m happy that you’re here with me. Before I forget (again), I wanted to share the Book Riot 2022 Reading Log that I had promised.

One of our first adventures this year was making marshmallows from scratch. We used the recipe from America’s Test Kitchen but you can see the recipe for free on The Frugal Girl’s website. Being a librarian, of course this made me wonder, “Are recipes protected by copyright?” and I found this article from the Copyright Alliance so now you know the answer as well.

Photo of hands using a pizza cutter to cut a large slab of marshmallow into cubes. It is sitting on a wood cutting board. There is powdered sugar everywhere. There is text that reads, “Nicole: These cuts aren’t the straightest. Me: Neither are we.”

It was exciting to do and they taste amazing and surprisingly, we had pretty much all the ingredients already and definitely all the equipment we needed.
