My Friday classes got done early, so after I took care of loose ends at school, I decided to come home earlier than usual. The lady who helps me around the house didn't come this morning because she is moving to a new house later today and the guy who helps us in the yard and stuff went home sick yesterday...didn't come today. The dogs met me at the gate whining for lack of attention and I found the house locked! Did manage to find the keys, which is a REALLY good thing.
So, what am I doing with my unexpected solitude? First I searched my e-mail for a recipe my sister sent me. Then I went and made it. Just happened to have ice cream delivered the other day by a guy on a motorcycle with a big ice chest tied on the back of it...so I had everything I needed!
Dairy Queen Moolatte
1 cup brewed, double strength coffee, chilled (I cheated and used instant decaff in a cup of cold water)

1 cup of milk
3 Tbsp sugar
1/8 tsp salt (oops, forgot to add that)
2 c vanilla ice cream
1 1/2 cups ice
3 Tbsp of chocolate syrup or caramel syrup or whatever flavor you want your moolatte to be.

I added one of those bendy straws in my super size cup after I blended it all up. (bet you didn't think we could get those bendy straws here, huh...well, you just might be surprised!)
One hour of "a piece of quiet" (Alicia coined that phrase for us) and a real live Moolatte (decaff, of course!) came as a totally unexpected surprise. One for which I am very grateful. Well, better go and put that chocolate syrup away before the girls get home from school or they will start asking questions. :)
