'The Big Bowl Please..'
'The what?'
It was a moment of pure genius when Papa Snell (my father-in-law), not to be confused with Papa Smurf, brought us all to Heggy's Ice cream Shop and reinvented 'the kitchen sink'.
They had never seen anything like it and had definitely never had a request for one scoop of every ice cream they have with a double dose of the cherry m&m in one bowl. That was a total of 17 scoops of ice cream. We played it safe in the toppings area- knowing that less truely is more- so we stuck to the hot fudge, whipped cream and a few maraschino cherries.
It was incredibly delicious and wonderful.
You could taste a little bit of every ice cream and they were all delicious.
The workers were in awe of our request and had to take some pictures for the Heggy wall. We will now forever remain in infamy here in Alliance.
You should all come and visit so we can get another one. It is a little much for Justin and I to do alone.... Myers and Ruby try hard but lets face it- they can eat only a fraction of the ice cream that an adult can eat.
Though you wouldn't know it from pictures like this:
He was a little crazy before the ice cream came out. We couldn't get him to sit down. But that huge bowl of deliciousness sure got his attention!
Ruby made sure to get her fair share as well!
She was working on crowding Uncle Jon out so that he would stop eating so much!
And we all know I enjoyed myself!
My favorite was the turtle flavor- delish!
Justin loved them all!
There was nothing left in that bowl when we were done! Justin did refrain himself from licking it out when we were done- maybe next time....
But, like I said, we need someone to come help us.... We can't do it alone....
We are still looking for better names for it... I liked big bowl but I feel like it lacks pizzazz...
"We all know I enjoyed myself." > hahahaha
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! Wish I could come. :) Oh, and I am soooo jealous of your new bike trailer (and awesome bike). It look so great! miss you. Love ya!
the snelleatlater.....heheheheh
ReplyDeleteI came across this when I randomly googled Heggy's and I was very surprised to find this. I, in fact, was one of the workers at the store that day and was definitely in awe with the order of one of every flavor of ice cream. We still haven't had anyone ask for anything like it. I remember we did take some pictures but they unfortunately did not turn out so well. I was wondering if it would be okay to use one of yours to hang in the store? Definitely a kodak moment. Come back to see us soon. Happy Holidays! -Patrick from Heggy's
