It is not always the little things in life, sometimes it is the simplest. As a seasoned blogger, it can be easy to get bogged down in “the rules:” posts should be timely; headnotes should be at least 450 words and be on topic; tags should be added to optimize SEO; blah blah blah. Tonight, I’m breaking the rules. Short, sweet and to the point.
After what most would consider a nice-sized meal, our youngest, Sonny hinted that he was still famished. As a teenage boy with a voracious appetite and the metabolism of a hummingbird, Sonny can eat. A lot. Not to mention the fact that he is currently the captain of his high school track team’s distance squad for which he runs several miles each day. So without hesitation, I proceeded to reheat some leftovers which he downed in moments and still looked a bit hungry.So, I resorted to creating the most debauched and caloric dessert I could think of:
1 glazed doughnut
1 large scoop vanilla ice cream
2 tablespoons caramel sauce
1 generous pinch Kosher salt1 large dollop whipped cream
Place the doughnut on a plate and heat in a microwave for 20-30 seconds. Place the scoop of ice cream on top of the warmed doughnut. Drizzle caramel sauce over the ice cream and dust with salt. Top the whole assembly with a liberal amount of whipped cream.
Serve the concoction as quickly as humanly possible so as to avoid grabbing a spoon and eating it yourself!
