Michelle’s House of Dessert

So in addition to the lemon cake I made, my grandmother brought up her pound cake. Both of which we ate with strawberries and fresh whipped cream. (I really would like to get some unpasturized whipping cream, as I’ve read that it’s better than the ultra pasteurized you get in the store. (Which is of course superior to something out of a can, or even worse, Cool Whip.)

Saturday, about an hour after eating dessert, we were playing cards when I asked if anyone needed anything. My mom asked if there was a piece of lemon cake left (there was) so I brought the platter with the cakes over. She cut the remainder of the cake into small pieces, so that everyone could have some. (She then proceeded to eat all the pieces of cake herself. ) I asked if anyone wanted anything on their cake; we still had strawberries, but were out of whipped cream. We did, however, have some Ben & Jerry’s vanilla ice cream.

“I’d like some ice cream,” said Michael. So I got a bowl and got him some ice cream. Grandmom, looking at the ice cream, asked, “Didn’t you say you had rootbeer?” Yes, we did. Michael bought root beer at Jungle Jim’s. Virgil’s all natural micro brewed root beer in fact. “Would it be too much trouble to get a root beer float?” Not at all. Anyone else need anything?

“Well,” my dad said, “since you already have everything out, could I have a root beer float too?”

We even had straws.

I just had strawberries. With a small bite of Michael’s ice cream.

Very delicious.

Boy, do I need to start walking twice a day again…

BTW, my grandmother will be back from visiting my brother tomorrow.
