Ice Cream Social at 18 Reasons
The annual ice-cream social at 18 Reasons is one our favorite events. This year they have moved it from an evening gathering to a more family friendly time on a Sunday (yay!). I attend the event primarily because I enjoy watching Stacie’s son motor down large amounts of ice-cream and love the looks on the kids’ faces when they realize what you have brought them to. This ice cream social has inspired us to throw our own make-your-own-sundae-parties at home.
Here is the information from the 18 Reasons website:
Event: DIY Desserts Ice Cream Social
When: Sunday, September 23, 1-2:30PM
RSVP and Drop-In: www.brownpapertickets.com/event/267213
Cost: With ice cream sundae bar contribution: $5 suggested donation $10 just to eat
Bring your best homemade ice cream or topping to contribute to the tastiest make-your-own sundae bar in San Francisco. As always. no competition. Just folks making, sharing, and enjoying good dessert. Kids welcome.
Now, the tough part of deciding what to bring. It’s not competitive, but it has to be good! My little plus-one wants to bring her box of multicolored sprinkles from Safeway (yuck!), while I am still deciding between ice-cream or topping. For ice-cream the options are – mango or strawberry buttermilk (a lighter ice-cream) or, perhaps condensed milk ice-cream (unique, but far “heavier”) and maybe even mix it up and bring some of my mom’s kulfi-pops? For toppings – our easy fudge sauce, Bee’s chocolate fudge sauce, berry sauce (made for last social. so cannot repeat) or our delicious home-made granola.
Decisions! Decisions!!
What a wonderful post! Full of the tantalising mental scents of icecream and even though its a grey day and promising to be one that needs Brunhilda (our wood burning stove) to be stoked repeatedly, I can feel the growing need for icecream coming on. Time to start putting the base into the freezer “just in case” and although spring in Tasmania tends to be a cold and wet (and usually frosty) affair, the leaves are coming back to remind us that pretty soon we can stop wearing 3 layers and the simple thought of icecream is going to make us smile
