Ice Cream Social Night

Hi

Man, do I know how to throw it down at my crib or what?!

Inspired by my boy Fahad, I had an ice cream social at the crib. No joke. A good old fashioned ice cream social. He prompted the phenom idea to have a Madden night (female readers...and Ali: think XBOX/video games) where ice cream served as the appetizer, main dish, and dessert. Call me a 10 year old girl or whatever you want, but you cannot deny the awesomeness of having an ice cream social.

And this wasn't an "ami-shami" ice cream social. It was a night that consisted of Breyers* and Edy's* ice cream that included the following choices: Vanilla Bean, Natural Vanilla, Spumoni, Butter Pecan, Cookies-n-Cream, and Mint Chocolate Chip. All that with the addition of the following glorious toppings: Hershey's* chocolate syrup, Hershey's* strawberry syrup, Reese's* peanut butter chocolate hard shell, Reese's* chocolate chips with sprinkles, and Butterscotch (the hit of the night).

*Thanks to these companies for sponsoring my blog entry.

The evening included the likes of Farooq who graciously provided the Xbox 360 (which I have NO intention of giving back), Fahad, Irfan, Tariq, Sami, AJ, and my brothers. We were to schedule a Madden tournament, but only AJ and I ever got around to playing it (I killed him using Da Bears against the Pats). The rest of the time, aside from eating serving after serving of ice cream, was spent playing FIFA and Tennis (doubles was really fun). Normally, I'd like to include comments of the night, but when factoring that you had me and Fahad there...well, let's just say that it wouldn't be appropriate to print. Needless to say, however, the next day my brothers commented to me that, "You and your friends say some pretty weird/random things." Seriously, I think I have them partially convinced that we're partially gay. One comment I can share is AJ's recent discovery of Wikipedia being a great website. He said it with so much joy and anticipation of our would-be excitement. Farooq, however, "gently" burst his bubble with his usual dry, sarcastic tone and replied, "Welcome to 2007." After we laughed at AJ, he reciprocated by kindly dropping the F bomb on him...

The night started around maghrib and ended just before the start of Fajr. It was good times with good friends. Many more nights like this to come inshaAllah...

Cheers!
