Dreaming of the Dreamery

Douglas and I drove to Del Ray last Sunday night for our custard fix. In the end, we got a lot more than custard. As we sat there and enjoyed the sights, sounds, smells and tastes of the Del Ray Dreamery (now called The Dairy Godmother due to the threat of a lawsuit from some big ice cream company that owned the name "Dreamery.") But what was better than the two servings of custard I devoured was the warm and fuzzy feeling of connection I felt by just sitting across the talble from Douglas as one of our very favorite DC haunts. And if you're wondering what I had. Serving #1: a scoop of vanilla custard, a scoop of cranberry sorbet and a scoop of mango lassi sorbet. Serving #2: two scoops of chocolate custard and a home made almond flavored cookie topped with pine nuts.
