Coming…..Be there in a few…
Oh!!!!!! What’s the standing record on length of time in which a Prudhoe sundae was devoured by the Ravening Us?
God, about four and a half minutes, I think. There were five of us that time. :)
Do I even want to know what a Prudhoe is?
It’s a massive, 8-scoop sundae made with extra-dark chocolate chocolate ice cream, with two toppings of your choice (traditionally: hot fudge and raspberry, for our group), whipped cream, nuts, and several cherries. It is literally as big as your head, and we typically went down in a group of five or so and devoured one in less than seven minutes. :)
Hot Licks… a bbq joint, yes? They had one on Walnut Street when I lived in Pittsburgh. Yummmmmmm. Their brownie sundae (which they shared with the jazz restaurant upstairs) was so good. :)
Actually, no, up here it’s an ice cream shop. Homemade ice cream. :)
Weirdos!
Dean, who attended us all on one such occasion, claims it was worth more than his life to get between any of us and that bowl!
*ponder*
Didn’t they have something called the Murphy Dome, too?
THAT’s what it was! We had the Murphy Dome sundae in Prduhoe Chocolate!
Ben & Jerry’s has something similar but even more extreme: the Vermonster is I think *20* scoops of ice cream in a bucket, with whipped cream and nuts and chocolate and all that on top. It is crazed.
Right! The Murphy Dome! Well, get your butts up here, we’ve got a date with the Murphy Dome! :)
I am *so* there! I think this time we will probably take a LITTLE bit longer…but not much!
Did you know my advisor’s brother owns Hot Licks? It’s a VERY small world.
HotLicks! Yum!!
As if I needed another excuse to visit Alaska ;)
I so miss the old Hot Licks, before they moved into that lame-o summer-only shack thing. They had the best soup! And jazz!
Wah.
We should all conspire to make it up there at the same time at some point. We can descend on Catie’s house like a plague of ice cream hunting locusts!
Of course, it’d have to be a winter visit….Part of the madness is the midwinter trek on foot, through snow and wind, just to eat ice cream! :)
