Today is National Strawberry Sundae
Day!
Or so the internet tells me.
I couldn't find any actual
documentation on this day, but several websites assured me that July
7th is, in fact, a day to celebrate strawberry sundaes, so
I thought, “Why not? Let's do it!”
The best way to celebrate this day is
obviously to eat a sundae topped with strawberries. My wife and I
went out with our friend Leslie and picked up some ice cream (vanilla
and strawberry swirl!) and a pile of berries. We then proceeded to
our good friend's Chad and Amy's house.
After a fun filled afternoon of pools
and water slides and squirt-gun fights, we all piled inside and broke
out the ice cream, the berries, the toppings, and let's not forget
the whipped cream!

This is probably a good time to mention
that I'm not a huge fan of strawberries... or any berries really. I
don't know what it is about them that puts me off... the texture of
them? The feeling of the skin still on the outside of the fruit? How
squishy they are? Who knows. Whatever it is, I don't actively seek
out berries, but like most things, I'll eat them if I have to.
Today I DIDN'T have to eat them, but
they're kind of in the name of the day, and this whole project
doesn't have any meaning if I don't actually celebrate the holidays
I'm supposed to be experiencing. So I piled those suckers on there. I
mean really got into 'em and dumped 'em on.
You know what I found out? When you
slice the suckers up, cover them with chocolate sauce, caramel sauce
and whipped cream and drown them in ice cream... they're not so bad!
Though, I'm sure most things would taste good if you did all that to
them... except maybe Spam... but that's a different holiday. And
you'll have to wait a little while for me to get to it, because we
just missed it yesterday.

Anyway, my wife Lauren, Leslie, Chad,
Amy and their boys Caleb (age 10) and Logan (age 8) all sat down with
me and we ate the heck out of those sundaes. Everyone had a good
time, everyone had some good tasty treats, and everyone enjoyed
themselves immensely.
Ice cream, after all, makes everything
better.
See you for the next one!
