okay so lets get to the meaning of this post, dope. no, i am not referring to any type of drug ( unless you consider yummy chocolatey syrupy goodness a drug! it is pretty addicting :) ). my grandpa has an unhealthy obsession with ice cream. when he's sick and doesn't have an appetite, he can always still eat ice cream. and his favorite kind is homemade chocolate ice cream. he doesn't like anyone else being in charge of icing and salting the ice cream as it churns and freezes. for years they had a hand crank ice cream maker but after breaking the handle last summer, we have resorted to a automatic one ( all of us who had to take turns cranking the old one are secretly over filled with joy inside saying yippee!!!! ). anyways, my grandparents call chocolate syrup that you put on ice cream dope. it always seems to give people a chuckle when you hear a 90 year old asking "pass the dope?"

| there'e a whole story behind this building. i'll get to it in another post! |
