ice cream for breakfast, of course

After we fed the kids their dinner we sent them upstairs - - and to bed. It turns out that along the way they remembered that 8 hours earlier I had promised them ice cream for dessert after dinner.

But I couldn't give them dessert.
the adult dinner table was set;
Catherine's famous blackened chicken was piping hot.
there was not time for a child's dessert.

so I did the only reasonble thing possible:
I promised them ice cream for breakfast the next morning.

  2. yay! I can't wait to see you too!

    I realized one day - - as unhealthy as "ice cream for breakfast" sounds . . . If I am replacing dinner's dessert with it, then it's not really any worse, right? it's not ADDED sugar and fat - - it's reshuffled sugar and fat!
