This past weekend I was down at my beach house in New London, CT with some girlfriends from college. Conveniently, my beach house resides in the same town as our Alma Matter (Connecticut College). The point of the weekend? To catch up & to go to all of our most memorable places from our 4 years together. You know what we realized? About 95% of what we wanted to do while reminiscing had to do with eating…yikes…I’m not sure how I stayed thin in college…
One of my favorite traditions with these ladies was to go to Friendly’s for dinner & ice cream…especially the ice cream. If you haven’t been, it really is quite the treat. One of my friends never fails to get the Reese’s Pieces sundae (which, I might add, is quite tasty). If you went to Friendly’s as a kid, though, you might remember something called the Cone Head Sundae…you know…ice cream in a bowl, chocolate dipped sugar cone for the hat, whipped cream for the ears, Reese’s Pieces under the ice cream & used for the eyes/nose…so fun!
Somehow, my friend Katrina was able to talk the waiter into creating this Sundae for her (so if you go & it’s not on the menu…don’t take no for an answer!). I must say, he did a great job & it was really cute. Take a look:
It’s funny how so many traditions revolve around eating…I’m sure you all have your eating traditions with friends, family, coworkers…etc. My advice? Everything in moderation…life is too short to deny yourself, but you don’t want to gorge on high calorie snacks all day either J
Happy eating & happy summer! Hopefully it’s warmer where you are than here in Boston – it has been the coldest June!
