Out of this World

for Sunday Scribblings March 30, 2008

Start with French vanilla
ice cream. Scoop out
a good-sized moon
of it and let it mound

above the sides
of the bowl. Then
sprinkle stars
of walnuts all over.

After that drizzle
pure, light amber
maple syrup
like sun rays

over the whole thing.
Finally, let your spoon
orbit looking for a perfect
spot to land for an
out-of-this-world treat.

Love the conceit: if that French Vanilla were Jupiter moons, there could be 63+ scoops. Heavenly lactose!
