Old-Fashioned Sundaes / Taking "bite me" too far

2-3 scoops of vanilla ice cream
pineapple jelly
creme de menthe
spray whipped cream
maraschino cherries

Put the ice cream in a fancy dish, because this is the 50's and ice cream is still an event.  Put the rest on top.  Go ahead, put six cherries on, that's what they're for.  Eat up.

I have many fond memories of these sundaes.  They are weird and delicious, as are the best parts of life.  In fact, I hearby officially repudiate all that is vanilla womanhood.  I work with a lot of women, and therefore it makes my opinion and expert opinion when I say I have had all I can take of personalities like perfectly formed ice-cream scoops with exactly one half a banana, spray whipped cream and a single cherry on top.  "Don't mess my topping" is how those sundaes go through life.  Life is messy, life is sticky, and life is definitely imperfect and that's exactly the way I like it.  With creme de menthe and pineapple jelly on top.

  1. Man...I don't remember exactly what happened at work that inspired this, but I'm glad I never got into the habit of posting about bad days at work. No matter how mildly you try to put it, it still makes you sound like you need anger management class!
