Weekend Wind-Down #131

Last night, the nearby TORNADO SIREN sounded - right in the middle of us making these really DECADENT BOWLS OF ICE CREAM. We gathered up the pets and took shelter in the hallway, along with our ice cream. Luckily for us, the tornado warning only lasted about an hour. In a way, it was the perfect metaphor and ending to a pretty crazy weekend for us...
