Ice Cream Sundaes

When I was little and my aunt Alida would babysit me, we would stay up late on summer nights and watch tv in our pajamas.  Shortly before 11:00, we would make our snack—a big bowl of vanilla ice cream  with scoops of creamy peanut butter, slices of banana, and chocolate sauce—and we’d get ready to watch reruns of “Soap”.

These were the best of times…sitting on the couch in the den late at night, freshly showered with wet hair that smelled like strawberry Suave, eating my sundae and laughing at the Tate’s and the Campbell’s and the ridiculous twists and turns of their lives in 1970’s Connecticut.

I’ve made that sundae here for you (I now add dry roasted peanuts), as well as 2 others that are favorites of mine.  On National Sundae Day tomorrow, make one—or all—of them, as well as some fun and long lasting memories of your own.

(WHAT YOU WILL NEED)

In all of these sundaes, I use Breyers French Vanilla


sundae #1:
vanilla ice cream, creamy peanut butter, dry roasted peanuts, sliced banana, drizzled with chocolate fudge sauce

sundae #2:
vanilla ice cream with a pinch of course-ground black pepper sprinkled on top, and drizzled with your favorite Scotch (I used 10-year Glenmorangie, but I've also used Dewars...still good!)
