Give this guy a banana daiquiri will you Richard?

[Karen]

Any ice cream would be fine. This is Thursdays, where all food has no calories, and no allergens .... so how about a good New England tradition:

Maple walnut ice cream
Warmed maple syrup poured over it
Walnut pieces sprinkled on top

Anybody else want one?

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I'd like a watermelon smoothie. Just take some seedless watermelon. Chuck it in a blender. Add a bit of 7-up and mix. YUMMY!

[lvpets2002]

WoW Karen's Ice Cream sure sounds so yummy.. Since this is Cyber Thursday & no calories then Yes Give Me A Bowl of it Please.. No No Orc you & the monkeys cannot have any.. You know what will happen with it.. Yup then we will have to get out the Mega Blaster Water Gun..

Have you ever heard of BLT bites? They're addicting-had them at a participatory dinner recently-I'll have to post the recipe when I pull it out of my email...they're cherry tomatoes hollowed out with some combination of bacon, mayo, parmesan, and parsley I think. Real simple, and so POPPABLE for hors d'eouvres!

Anyway, barkeep, set 'em up again!

OH MY LORD, I don't often invoke the "higher ups", but that was crazy!!! But, as with any cat owner, he was carrying a spray bottle,

Refill for you, one for him!

Karen,

One for you !

GINI, ROLL UP THE WINDOW!

[smokey the elder]

Karen's ultra sweet ice cream sundae sounds a little too sweet for me now! I'll have one of those banana daiquiris though.

[Grace]

Sign me up for a couple of banana daiquiris, please.

I think I'll pull over for a rest stop......You'll have to get out one at a time.....

Those monkeys mean business!

[lvpets2002]

Hey I was watching Andrew Zimmerman the other day.. He was overseas somewhere & this other chef showed him how to make Bacon Ice Cream.. You grill bacon with lots of brown sugar on top.. Then crubble it up into the homemade ice-cream.. They said it was very good..

[RedHedd]

Saw that on the news last night. Reminded me of my visit earlier this year to Safari West - SO much fun! They didn't have monkeys or baboons, tho - lots of Zebra (who were a lot of fun), Giraffe, all sorts of exotic birds, deer and elk who were just amazing to see up close and personal AND an ostrich - Henry the Ostrich was hilarious and wouldn't let us out of the compound. I missed the Lemurs because it was way too hot for them that day and the Cheetahs were just chilling in the shade. I NEED to go back! They're on FAcebook now and I've been getting updates with pics of all the newborn animals. Such a phun place!

Today is National Vanilla Ice Cream Day so I'll have a scoop of that and one of those banana thingies

[RICHARD]

MOFF,

Ready? Your watermelon smoothie with a scoop of lime sherbert ice cream and some mint.......


Whoa........a simple syrup w/mint -just spoonful in the mix....

Let me toss one together?

LP,

Even that sounds good to me!

DONE!


REDD,

A scoop of 'nilla and a banana thingie?

DONE!
