Come on-a my house
6 Nov
This week I was lucky enough to be chosen theme queen for Pip‘s meme, My Place & Yours. I’m asking everyone to share her/his “secret weapon”. No deep dark secrets here, just something you keep close to your creative heart. It could be your fav crochet hook, or maybe your go to fabric shop, or even the perfect shade of red lipstick that makes your day. Whatever it is, it should something that you know you can go to in a pinch and it will never let you down. Have fun, and I can’t wait to see what you come up with! You can find all the players here.
Now mind you, when I sent that off to Pip, I had something in mind, but then Thursday happened. It wasn’t a horrible day, but just the kind of day where you go to the store for green bananas and green grapes and the shelves for green bananas and green grapes are bare. Then, in the afternoon, you think, today would be good day to set up your new mail accounts on your computer. Then 7 customer service representatives and 2 hours later you finally have you email set up but can’t stop to read it because it’s time to pick up the kids from school.
Anyway, by the time the kids got to bed, I knew the only thing that was really going to help was magic ice cream.
Now, let me start by saying I know this isn’t a pretty picture. However, magic ice cream is one of those rare things where function is more important than form.
It’s something the spouse invented back when I was still working retail. After a nasty day he would mix up a batch for me and the world didn’t seem so bad. It still works.
magic ice cream
one bowl vanilla ice cream
mix in a big spoon of peanut butter
a generous handful of mini chocolate chips
some butterscotch chips
a nice swirl of chocolate syrup
mix well
acceptable variations include
all sorts of crushed up candy bar
nutella
any sort of caramel sauce
marshmallows
love your theme choice for this week’s meme!..and i’m gonna have to make this delish dessert mmmmm!!
Heaven help me, that sounds insanely indulgent and delicious. Great theme choice this week, I was going to resist playing….but discovered that resistance was futile.
Ah yes. Sugar, especially when mied with chocolate is certainly a magic weapon. I wouldn’t exist without that one. Cherrie
GADZOOKS … that is pure, unadultered, delectable BLISS … it’s a happening thing here tonight using the Sanitarium So Good soy ice cream … YUMMOOO … Thanks from me and my ever widening girth
that recipe is pure magic. yrouble is i would need a magic wand to reduce the size of my butt if i ate that. well maybe just a small bowl then
great theme, thanks theme queen
Wow, that’s some secret weapon. I might give it a go when I feel brave enough.
Great theme! And I have to say that pile of goop looks fricking awesome. I love the acceptable variations clause – but I’d still with the original recipe. YUM!
Love the theme you chose, made me use my brain which isn’t a bad thing. As for your secret weapon..it just proves the old saying that ‘looks aren’t important!’ Enjoy!!!
Ooo, that sounds like a Dairy Queen blizzard! I never even thought about food, but this sounds very good! I used to mix chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream when I was a kid, all stirred up together! My family thinks that I’m crazy if I do it now!
oh, i know those days! and you invariably have a long list of plans and get nowhere fast! ice cream mmmmm ….
now that is possibly the best secret weapon known to woman….
mmmmmhhhh…..
Thanks for the great theme – it was fun to play along. That delicious concoction sounds like it was your hubby’s secret weapon its truly won you over!
Ooh yes, lovely secret weapon of choice, esp if it truly works. Which it seems to do! lol.
Wish I had me some magic ice-cream. :^))
