Splitting a Split August 1, 2007
Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , 1 comment so farLast night Devastatingly Handsome took us out for, uh, dinner, to our favorite ice cream place. It is our favorite because of the serving size, and also the amazing variety of flavors. But last night DH was interested in quantity.
The truth is that when we were married, Devastatingly considered a half-gallon of Breyer’s to be a “single-serving size.” Now, due to financial and health concerns, one of those 48- or 56-ounce “scround” things has to serve the whole crew. But he still sometimes longs for the good old days.
So, anyhow, Miss Dog Lover chose a dish of her favorite flavor, watermelon. And being a purist, I stuck with a dish of twist. But the rest of the crew each grabbed a spoon and dug into a communal banana split. You know it’s big when DH orders a ”large banana split” and the man working the counter lets his jaw drop and says, “Do you know how big they are?” Here are the photos (relax, there was only one split. DH provided two photos to show the full glory, and Miss Language kindly added her i-pod for scale.).
we also should have taken a picture of what was left, which would show nothing but some dribbles of syrup stuck to the styrofoam. Amazing.
Oh, and the man behind the counter was real pleased to hear why Devastatingly was taking photos. His moment of fame in cyberspace. DH thinks he may have gone a bit heavy on the whipped cream to be extra impressive but this is pretty much the way they always look.
