Posted on September 12, 2023 by pauldelancey

American Dessert

BANANA SPLIT

INGREDIENTS

2½ tablespoons hot fudge sauce or chocolate syrup

1 banana

1 scoop chocolate ice cream*

1 scoop strawberry ice cream*

1 scoop vanilla ice cream*

½ tablespoon roasted chopped peanuts

¼ cup whipped cream**

3 maraschino cherries with stems

¼ teaspoon sprinkles (optional)

* = Should be fairly firm.

** = Oh heck, spray or spoon as much whipped cream as you want.

SPECIAL UTENSIL

banana split boat or small oval dish

Serves 1 or 2. Takes 5 minutes.

PREPARATION

Microwave hot fudge sauce for 20 seconds or put hot fudge sauce in small pot. Heat on low until sauce becomes warm and fluid. Peel banana and split in half along its length.

Place banana halves cut sides face up in banana split boat. Put ice cream scoops between banana halves. Drizzle hot fudge sauce over ice cream. Sprinkle chopped peanuts over fudge sauce. Spoon whipped cream over peanuts. Sprinkle sprinkles over whipped cream. Top everything with maraschino cherries.

Note: Work quickly if the temperature in your kitchen is 90 degrees or more.

TIDBITS

1) In 1904, David Evans Strickler, of Tassel Pharmacy created first banana split for the nearby sweet-toothed college students of Latrobe, Pennsylvania. The tasty dessert spread like wildfire across the world. Alas, swirling controversy enveloped the tasty dish with multiple towns claiming to have created the first banana split. In 2004 the National Association of Ice Cream Retailers (NAICR) declared Latrobe to be the birthplace of the banana split. Nine years later the Pennsylvania Museum and Historical Commission placed a plaque at the former site of Tassel Pharmacy. Someone later, perhaps at midnight, erected a gigantic banana split statue nearby. Show up there to see the activities of Latrobe’s annual Great American Banana Split Celebration. Be sure to go there and see how exciting and tasty history really can be. Latrobe welcomes you with open arms and split bananas.

Cool Vanilla Latte

Posted on September 6, 2023 by pauldelancey

American Appetizer

COOL VANILLA LATTE

INGREDIENTS

2 cups coffee, cold

⅔ cup sugar

4 cups milk

2 tablespoons vanilla syrup

SPECIAL UTENSILS

covered pitcher or mason jars equal to 7½ cups

Serves 6. Takes 10 minutes.

Note: You can make other Cool Latte flavors by changing the syrup flavor, caramel for example.

PREPARATION

Add all ingredients to large mixing bowl. Stir with whisk or fork until sugar dissolves. Keep refrigerated.

TIDBITS

1) You should make this. It’s so tasty and simple to put together. It’s also economical. I figure using the ingredients I bought that it cost me 4¢ an ounce while the major brands’ versions run 18¢ to 25¢. Making your own tuna sandwich with tuna and mayonnaise is also easy and much cheaper than buying premade ones in the deli. There are many other instances where making your own is cheaper and more satisfying than purchasing processed foods and drinks.

2) Now, suppose your neighbor is a complete oaf who blasts his music all night and says all sorts of hurtful things. You’d like to make him stop, but he’s much taller and stronger than you. What to do?

3) The first thing that naturally comes to mind is to get a AH-64e v6 Apache attack helicopter. According to Boeing’s website, “AH-64E v6 is a lethal, survivable and agile system providing the reach, maneuverability and performance needed by ground forces and contributes to current and future joint mission success.” Just what you need for dealing with that next-door brute.

4) And since I convinced you with the first tidbit to make your own things, you’re going to give building a AH-64e a go. Good for you! Unfortunately, it takes quite a lot of time–much longer than mixing up a Cool Vanilla Latte. Thus, you’re really unlikely to get your chopper up and flying before a dying and rapidly expanding Sun overwhelms the Earth. Especially if you’re unskilled in electronics. No, if you really wish to achieve overwhelming air supremacy over the beastly neighbor, you need to raid your savings account or look under sofa cushions and buy a $130 million AH-64E v6. If that price is too steep for you, wait for Labor Day sales or settle for a v5.
