Doesn’t that sound yummy? Well, guess what… It is.
I loved the idea of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey whiskey. Then I bought some, tasted it and realized it was WAY too sweet to drink.
So I decided to use it to macerate some peaches and raspberries. Then I decided to eat those over vanilla bean ice cream.
My parents own an ice cream shop in north central Pennsylvania, so I’ve spent many a sweaty summer afternoon scooping and topping (and eating) my fair share of ice cream. You might say I’ve become somewhat of an ice cream snob over the years. I also have uncommonly large forearm muscles.
Thanks Mom & Dad.
Now I’m all grown up and don’t ever have to “scoop” ice cream again. I just eat it straight out of the container with a mouth sized spoon. Much easier on the ol’ forearms.
But, every now and then I get a hankering for the familiar flavor combination of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, banana and peanuts that IS the banana split. And when mommy gets a hankering, y’all better watch out.
Thankfully, Chonker’s favorite foods right now include strawberries and bananas so we always have plenty laying around. And since he’s a good baby who loves to cater to my random food whims, he was cool with me using some of them to make this:
Which I then used to make these:
Oh yeah, and THESE:
