Last night we met up with some friends for some Mile High Ice Cream Pie at Champps. I still can’t believe each couple attempted to finish their own (I was fine with the idea of sharing one for the whole table, but I was overruled.
We love this couple, and don’t see them nearly enough. Both TH and I love to hang out with them because of their awesome personalities and because the guys both work for the same company. It’s nice when the other couple you are coordinating with understand things like husbands who have no idea what time they will get home from work (both guys got home at around 7:30 last night). They also understand what it’s like to only get to spend 3 or 4 days out of the week with your spouse.
Look how enormous this is! That Husband and I finished about 3/4 of it. After going on and on about calorie counting I’ve set myself up to look like a nutrition nazi, and I think that this shows I believe that when you stop punishing yourself for eating “bad” things, you can still be happy (and healthy). That annoying phrase “everything in moderation” is so true. I go out to get Mile High Ice Cream Pie, enjoy myself, talk to my friends for 3 hours, and don’t spend the rest of the night in agony over my indulgence (or the next day either). Why? Because I know that I don’t eat like this on a regular basis.
You can think of this as my “Vera Wang” for the season.

Mmm, I love the Mile High Ice Cream Pie! I am SO impressed that two of you were able to finish 3/4 of it!! The last time I had one, my parents, my husband, and I were not able to finish one amongst the four of us — my husband was so disappointed in my father and I for not pulling our weight and eating more, haha. It was delicious! I’m craving ice cream just looking at it…

Wow, I would be afraid of that falling over and me getting trapped underneath.
Is there some special way to eat it so it doesn’t fall over?

The waitress comes over and helps you lay it on its side. If you don’t it will just collapse eventually anyways. Fun presentation though.

Holy man! Now that’s ice cream cake for you! That’s pretty impressive that you managed to eat 3/4 of that. I think those are the kind of things that you arrive with an empty stomach for.

Holy HUGEMUNGEOUS Cake! Man, these enormously large cakes are totally in right now. Have you ever had the six-layer chocolate cake from Claim Jumpers? They are sooooooo good.

Wow, that is cray-zay. Good thing we don’t have that place anywhere around here… Mr Fink goes ga ga for ice cream. Don’t you just love couple dates? Especially when the girls like each other as much as the guys like each other. It’s kinda rare, come to think of it.

It’s incredibly rare actually. But the boys talk shop while we girls talk about… whatever it is that girls talk about when they are together

That is ginormous!!! I don’t have any Champps near me so I can’t try it, but it looks good. And I would share it with the table too.
