Ok, lets get right into the flavor of the month. Now since this is the month in which we celebrate valentines day and it's chocolate month it seems we have an easy solution and selection. But... Not so fast. You know that's not how we roll in here. We must dig deeper and look for the perfect (or at least sort of kind of relatively ok) choice for the month. Sure, we can incorporate chocolate into it but we need to take care of those who can't do the chocolate thing or arent into chocolate. Of course, since it's cherries month as well we could go with chocolate and cherry or even cherry and chocolate or chocolate covered cherries or even chocolate covered in cherries .... Wait a minute. Chocolate covered in cherries ? You really dont see 'em like that much. Unless, of course, you dont eat your cherry first when having a sundae. You know when you let it sink down in there so that it's all covered in the melted ice cream (and or frozen yogurt) making it the last tasty spoonful of! WAIT A MINUTE! THAT'S IT! SUNDAES! Chocolate, cherries and of course a sweet treat to share (on valentines day or any other day) Yes folks we have a winner. And it doesnt have to be chocolate. It can be hot fudge or caramel or strawberry or snozzberry or pineapple or blueberry or chuck berry or barry white (oops, sorry. got off track there. my bad. moving on...) or even in nanner split form. Sundaes are the flavor of the month for Feb. And in the complete interest of fairness, topping your frogurt sundae style or sorta kinda a little,bit like sundae style is a solid choice as well. Of course all chips chunks dips dunks swirls twirls... You know the rest are in as well. Get your sunday on all month long in February! And hey, maybe you could even share one
