In the past few years of my life I have become quite fond of the a la mode concept. Almost everything tastes better when you put a little ice-cream on top. Today Runners World had a recipe for Roasted Pineapple á la Mode. Simple and easy. Basically, bake some pineapple and then put some ice-cream on top. It must be good!
I dont know where my love of a la mode has really stemmed from. I am actually not a big ice-cream person. I dont get cones, eat pints, dream of it, etc ... like others I know. But I find when I am eating a pastry or ordering dessert, I desire a scoop (or two!) of vanilla ice-cream on top. I guess my indulgences are not quite indulgent enough, thus the addition of a heap or two of extra calories and fat. Its funny how we change over time, our tastes and attitudes occasionally suprising us. Things I use to crave are now almost repulsive and a new list of desirables floats around in my dreams and ques my hunger pains. I only hope my tastes dont evolve to become peculiar or abnormal. For now I think I am fine with the simple addition of ice-cream to top my snacks. I just hope that I can work a bit harder on making my mind be the one in charge ... not my stomach :)
