Sundae Sunday

Wow, it's been a long time since we had official Sunday Sundaes, or as my daughter has officially renamed it, Sundae Sunday. She busily got to work on the decorating and preparing while her brother slept and her mom finished off a errand. It took a little while to get everything in place and basically we either had a really late snack or a really early ice cream dinner. I'm not sure which, but does it really matter?

The day was fairly busy considering it's a Sunday. We headed out in an attempt to enjoy the New England Summer Nationals. My daughter kept asking "where are all the cars?" The show runs Thursday to Sunday, but apparently a lot of people already headed home. My son was more excited than my daughter, but his version of checking out a car involves quickly turning his head towards the car as we walk by it. Oh well, it's ok, we'll come back when you are older.

We left after about an hour and headed to the grocery store. I wonder what they have in store for us....

Thought this would be funnier...

I was looking through the cabinet last weekend when I realized I should probably check the date on some Keebler Fudge Shoppe Cones I bought. "Best By May 08 2011". Pretty sure I should resist the urge to eat these... I guess we should try and have a little fun before they go away.

Ahhh, too predictable!

Ok, better, but I'm still not feeling it

My stacking probably looks pretty easy until you realize the tops of the cones are not flat.

(but if you can alternate bumps so that they kind of interlock)

Ok, big finale!

Yes, I took the time to stack 12 cones

(and yes, there is a piece of tape on the 8th cone from the bottom so it doesn't tip)

Good night everybody!

Extras: Keebler Waffles Bowls

As you may have noticed, I don't pay a ton of attention to the whole store-bought cone scene (as mentioned in the sugar cone disaster). Ice cream in a bowl is just easier, what can I say. Well, during grocery shopping last week, Keebler cones were all on sale. In particular, I noticed Waffle Bowls, and to be honest, I don't think I've noticed them until now. So, I picked up a set knowing my daughter would be a big fan.

Yesterday was a beautiful day and a perfect opportunity to open up the waffle bowls. This is when I learned something new. I've seen the chocolate coated waffle bowls at DQ, but I never really stopped to think how I would eat one. I was totally expecting my daughter to eat out the ice cream and then finish off the bowl. Well, I was a wrong. After just a few bites, she picked up the bowl and ate it like a giant ice cream cone. Hey, whatever works right?

We actually had waffle bowls again today, though the experience wasn't as gratifying. The bowl in the bottom of the package has broken from being moved around, and my first attempt to scoop into a bowl has left me with a handful of waffle pieces. These things are really quite fragile. The second try went better, though I was much more careful. I made myself one and ate it just like my daughter did yesterday. It worked pretty well actually, though the flavor of the bowl wasn't quite as satisfying as I had hoped, instead it was kind of bland.

funny, I just did a super quick google search a reviewer who thinks the Joy waffle bowls are much better, so if I see them at the store, I'll grab a pack and we'll do a comparison.
