Sunday so it must be Vanilla Ice Cream

It has happened that during the past few weeks whenever we've had company for a meal, vanilla ice cream is the dessert.  Not just any vanilla ice cream, mind you, but home made vanilla custard ice cream. 
So this week end I decided to do something about that.  First Ron and I squeezed a bag of fresh limes and made lime sorbet.  Figured since the ice cream maker was out and still frozen we whipped up a batch of regular vanilla ice cream.  When that was done I removed half of it and added chopped up chocolate chips.  OK, Three desserts, see if I can find someone who might be interested.  Got our daughter and son in law to join us for Sunday dinner with the lure of different desserts.  Sure wish my son would join us but he still has little ones at home to keep up with on the weekends.  I'll be glad when he can join us for family dinners again.
We had a nice visit and made plans to celebrate her birthday before we leave for Wisconsin.  She choose lunch at Merichaka's.  That's alright with us.  Been a month or so since we've eaten there.  Remember garlic poor boys, hand made onion rings and salad with house dressing.  If they're reading this just have it ready Friday for lunch. 
This morning was the day for Ron's annual eye exam.  He passed with flying colors, even the colors were right.  No new glasses this year.  Hip Hip Hurrah.
Then a stop at the grocery store down the street from the eye doctor, Food 4 Less.  It's a Kroger store and we love it.  No frills, just fresh produce and name brand products. 
Next lunch.  Hey Hey Hot Dog.  It's one of those places that qualify for the "comfort food" catagory of your life.  When we were dating we used to hop on the motorcycle and head on down to the A & W root beer stand for a frosty mug.  Well that place is gone and the owners retired but his son has all the recipes.  We had a frosty mug of root beer, sloppy joes and a bag of potato chips.  Tastes just like it did 39 years ago. 
Had a great day.  Hope you did too.
