Recipe for making absolutely amazing, fluffy, delicious homemade marshmallows.

A good Bolognese meat sauce is a miraculous thing.  Just...just...GOOD.   It's vastly different than browning a pound of hamburger and opening a jar of spaghetti sauce.  It's rich, it's complex, it's downright amazing.  I'd never undertaken such a cooking project, being intimidated by any recipe that calls for cooking something on a stovetop for hours and hours.  And then I read this Bolognese recipe and technique on Serious Eats.

My daughters are in the thick of Science Fair Season.  And I love science fair season.  I did some pretty darn kick-ass science fair projects on the antibacterial properties of common hardy Ohio woodland plants in my day.  My parents are both scientists.  And so as my children explore the scientific method, I found myself nostalgic, and decided to do my own experiment.  I wanted to know the best way to keep cotton candy fresh and fluffy for the longest time for parties.
