I need to get myself a BJ's card and start wholesaling my grocery list. The Foodtown I go to is mad expensive for absolutely no reason but it is across the street from my apartment.

Does the whipped cream go on the waffles? I ask cause that's a lotta whipped cream, unless of course you're using it to... nevermind.

lol @ anonymous with the dirty mind.

(clears throat). The whipped cream goes on the ice cream on the list and I already have chocolate syrup in my refrigerator. I like having a dessert after dinner.

I was looking forward to the comment section of this post because I thought J the foodies commentary would be that much more exciting.

LoL @ you and anonymous.

Dessert. Right. That's exactly what I meant. I mean, what else could you possibly do with whipped cream, ice cream and chocolate syrup besides eat it... from a bowl...? ;-) OK, I'm done. I never comment. But this has been fun. I might do it more often!
