The Annual Kitchen Bouquet Ice Cream Social

I wanted to join Suzy again this year for her annual Ice Cream Social over at Kitchen Bouquet but I'm not exactly prepared. Not that I ever am, so I fudged it. Literally.  I am joining in with a fantastic sundae I had to celebrate my 50th birthday last week and it really was the best sundae I ever had.  It was also my Wordless Wednesday this past week because when the waiter put it down, we were almost speechless.  If you've ever been to Peter Luger's, you'll agree. They call it the Holy Cow Sundae and that is exactly what you'll say when it arrives at the table! It's a simple sundae, and it doesn't get any better. Hot fudge, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream, Luger's calls it Schlag, and a big dollop of Schlag in the coffee is good, too! You can never have enough fresh whipped cream. Top with a cherry and some chopped nuts and you have ice cream perfection.

HOLY COW!



Stop by Kitchen Bouquet for the 3rd annual Ice Cream Social to celebrate National Ice Cream Month! It's a great time to celebrate ice cream, it's been so hot lately! 



The party starts Saturday afternoon, July 16th! Any ice cream related posts are welcome. Click on the logo to see the past socials and this year's bash once its up!
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream!

and

A Musing Potpourri
is also celebrating ice cream this weekend starting Saturday afternoon, so stop by and have even more ice cream!

    I didn't realize Suzy was doing the social. I am not into blogging lately, too busy!

    Holy Cow that looks delicious. We're having sundaes tonight. Custard and hot fudge from our wonderful local place. You've convinced me I need to make some whipped cream too.

    Wow. That does look some kind of wonderful! A belated happy birthday to you, though when it's your fiftieth year, you get to celebrate all year long.
