My Heart on a Snowball (in Mary's Daily Dish)

My family celebrated my father’s birthday this past weekend in my hometown. A snow storm rocked the area on Friday night so I waited to make the journey until the next day when the snow was melting away. Who would have guessed that I would arrive to a dinner with snowballs on the table?

Snowballs are my father’s favorite dessert. They are basically a little ball of cake that comes in either chocolate or vanilla (kinda like a doughnut hole I suppose) that is coated in icing and then rolled in coconut. In this case topped with a red heart gummy. Everyone else in the family loves them too. We get them at a local bakery outside of my hometown and we gobble them all up.

After dinner my mother served cupcakes, snowballs and a choice of vanilla bean or mint chocolate chip ice cream. I had my fill but wanted something a little extra so I reached over to grab the red gummy heart off of my brother-in-law’s snowball. I asked “can I have your heart?” and he quickly replied.

“Your sister already has my heart but you can eat my gummy.”

So corny, yet so cute. And the gummy was oh so yummy.

The Final Dish: We had plenty of snowballs and cupcakes left over to enjoy the next day… where my brother-in-law created a 3 course breakfast with these tasty treats. I’ll share soon…

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
