A trip to the supermarket is always in order when the weather man predicts a blizzard. Since I'm home in NJ with my mother for Christmas, this excursion is made in our own private vehicle with a trunk's capacity to carry heavy items home! This makes me giddy with excitement knowing I won't break my arms walking home from Trader Joe's, all 16 blocks and 2 avenues to midtown's extremely West side.
My prized purchases are two containers of Edy's ice cream. Yes, one would have been plenty, but they are on sale: 2 for $5! I chose the Light Egg Nog to be simultaneously conscientious and festive....and, the Chocolate PB Cup to just be me. I was thrilled as it was with the new additions to our (my mother's) food stock, but only when we got home did I discover the full potential...
I knew there was a good side to yesterday's late day laziness. Giving up on the bowl of rum-ball mix, we left it in its formless glory and covered it with plastic wrap to be considered later; and we enjoyed some wine to conclude our Christmas night.
Well, now, it is later. The rum-ball "dough" serves as the perfect Egg Nog Ice cream swirl-in. Topped with chocolate whipped cream and a dash of cinnamon, accompanied by a hot cup of coffee = day after Christmas, snowed-in-snacking perfection!
