Ice cream for dinner!

That’s right. As my wife and I were finishing our walk with the dog, she turned to me and said, “How about some ice cream for dinner tonight?

She didn’t have to ask twice.

And I strongly suggest that everyone try this at least once.

As adults, we sometimes forget the when-I-grow-up promises that we made to ourselves as children. The seemingly infinite possibilities that would one day come with the freedom of adulthood.

Ice cream for dinner was probably a childhood promise for many of us, and for good reason.

Thirty minutes later, Elysha, Clara and I were sitting in a local ice cream parlor, scanning the menu, when I came across this item:

The Petersen Royal

Please note that there is $23.00 worth of ice cream in this monster, and they suggest that you ask for extra spoons if you would like to share.

If you would like to share?

Even if the seven scoops of ice cream, the whole banana and the assorted toppings aren’t enough to stop a person, isn’t the $23.00 price point barrier enough in terms of trying to eat this alone?
