Saturday Mornings at Ponderosa

One of my favorite memories is when I got to go out Saturday AM, with Jen and Steph.  I had never been to a restaurant.  I had been to a few banquets but that was hours long, buffet, open bar, tables so large, several kids fell asleep beneath one table - not at all like table-service in the morning 

I didn't know we order drinks first.  I tried to order a plain hamburger when Jen interrupted me and said to the server, "we'll both have a hot chocolate with whipped cream".

When they arrived, I thought they were ice cream sundaes.  Jen said she wanted more, so the waitress squirted whipped cream so high, right there at the table.  I had never seen a sundae irl, I had never seen whipped cream before.

I still love it when she requests whipped cream on her virgin strawberry daiquiri.  Each time Jen orders, Steph gives her a look of, "better be careful with all that dairy".
