    Oh my, that looks decadent. I just popped on here to say hi and that I’m so sad I couldn’t be a part of the group this week. We still don’t have Internet and the data usage on the iPad is killing me when I do anything online. Can’t wait to get the issue fixed.

    This is a banana split kicked up several levels, I’d say! Incredibly good looking. I haven’t had one of these in ages – maybe I should before the summer is over? I mean it’s Ice Cream Week!

      I know right. It’s fabulous. And no brown bananas to deal with. Many levels of banana flavour on this one. So good.
