Ice Cream for Dinner? (20)

Almost every year, my dad takes my mom on a special trip. We don't really care where they go. It could be California, Roadkill Inn in St. George, the beaches in Florida- really doesn't matter. What I really mean is that when they go on trips, we know that we get to make our special dinner when they are gone. Now don't get me wrong, all of us kids love our parents, but man, it is fun for both sides of the party to have a break from each other. As soon as our parents leave the house, we start making our plan. The first thing we make sure to schedule in is our ice cream for dinner. This dinner has a very specific way in which it is constructed. You first have to have your main dish, which is a large cut of perfectly baked chewy brownie. On top of that, you have a choice of 6 different types and flavors of BYU creamery ice cream. It is required that you take at least two different kinds. Next comes the fresh cookie dough that is scooped over top of the creamy goodness. Whipped cream is now actually an option because there is already so much cream already existing with the ice cream. Drizzled on top of that is chocolate and carmel syrup, with colored sprinkles for effect if so desired. That just about sums up our "calorie in a bowl" dinner. It is guaranteed to give you an increase in energy for at least thirty minutes. Now, before any of you have a heart attack just thinking about all of that sugar and fat and goodness, just remember, this happens maybe once a year. Every time we do it, we swear we will never eat ice cream again. But all is forgotten and forgiven within a 2 hour period. Oh I forgot to mention what we have for dessert......
