Mishearing

A banging screen door garbled the request and as a result I thought I heard my Better Half ask Youngest Daughter to make an ice cream salad.

That opened culinary vistas that I didn't want to shutter with mundane accuracy.

Before I google let me guess: A melon baller (maybe we should get one?) would make reasonably-sized scoops of ice cream. Add sliced strawberries and blueberries, and maybe slivers of apple or pear, garnish with some shredded mint and use a drizzle of chocolate sauce for a dressing? Or maybe salted peanuts and skip the mint?

Yep, other people thought of it already. I don't think I'd like this cream cheese type. But this strawberry version looks interesting and everybody likes this.
