milky way sauce

about 3 weeks ago michael and i visited our friends greg and sascha while we were in the metroplex for dad's graduation.

it was a heavenly visit. greg and sascha are friends of michael's from south africa and are now friends of mine. yeah! they are so fun and sooo nice.

(side note: my feet are in michael's lap as i type and he is, i believe, subconsciously giving me a message. it's great.)

each time that we have stayed with greg ans sasch, they have been incredibly sweet. our stay has been so comfortable and we've been well fed. our last stay, they made a huge dinner of steak and chicken and a few authentic south african side dishes. it was all so delicious.

well, at the end of this meal in which i thought i could eat no more, sascha stuck a milky way candybar and some heavy cream into a saucepan. it melted beautifully and was then spooned over vanilla ice cream.

holy moly.

this is apparently a tradition in south africa as well, but instead of a milky way, it is made with a bar one. i don't know what that is but if it could possibly be better than this milky way sauce, then i would probably die if i had any. geez.

needless to say, michael and i have had this bowl of yummy goodness a few times since coming home. at this very moment, he is begging me for more. because i continue to sit, he accuses me of "just now caring anymore."

it's true. as i write this blog i just do not care anymore. however, in a few seconds i will definitely care and i will make my way to the kitchen for milky way sauce and vanilla ice cream.

you should try it. you really should.
