The "Bye Bye Boobies" Party

On Saturday, Wendy and I attended our friend C.’s “Bye Bye Boobies” party, an event to celebrate her upcoming breast reduction surgery (which takes place today).

The party featured a lot of breast-themed food presented in a lovely spread, pictured below:

Among the items were this lovely chocolate boob cake:

…and this bodacious lemon boob cake:

…and, of course, melon bowls:

Wendy and I wanted to contribute, so we used our ice cream maker to prepare some appropriately saucy flavours. Before heading to the party, I took out a Sharpie marker and whipped out some signs for the ice cream. When this computer fad blows over, I could go into the sign making business for ice cream shops and coffeehouses.

Here’s the sign for the first flavour: “Plain” Jayne Mansfield, better known as vanilla:

The next flavour was made with one very ripe canteloupe: Melons sorbet:

Here’s the one for the ice cream with a banana base (Wendy pureed two very ripe bananas into the standard ice cream mix) and chocolate chips made from a chopped up fancy-pant high cocoa content bar — Touch My Monkey:

And finally, here’s the sign for the Oreo Cheesecake ice cream. It had 10 smashed-up Oreo cookies in it, and the base contained cream cheese, sour cream and the juice of a lemon, which gave it a distinct cheesecake flavour. You probably shouldn’t have this fat-licious flavour too often.

Our thanks to C. for throwing a great party, and best of luck with the surgery!
