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.
Perfect! What a nice down to earth take on the subject.
ReplyDeleteA universal treat, as it were :-)
