christian louboutin pas cher france temperatures.Did we think
Childhood summer memories It's funny how memories are conjured up at the most
unusual time in my day, often when i least expect them.I was driving over a
bridge in dallas and almost without warning i had a yearning for a '99'.I wonder
if anyone reading this can remember these? A '99' was the name given to an ice
cream cone made from freshly whipped soft serve vanilla ice cream, with a
cadbury's chocolate flake.The mere task of driving over a bridge had cast my
mind back to a bridge in cork.I say a bridge but really it was more of a bump or
hill in the road.It is known as minane bridge and it was the source of delight
for my siblings and i as children. During the summer evenings, upon returning
home from work, my father often piled us into the back of his car and drove us
to a little beach or cove called 'rocky bay' The drive was maybe at best thirty
minutes from our house.Dad drove us through the town of carrigaline and we knew,
once we had driven through this town that minane bridge was not far away.We were
always excited about this prospect.We began to anticipate what lay chaussures christian louboutin ahead.You
see, the bridge as i mentioned earlier is more of a hill or bump.My father would
graciously wait for oncoming cars, allowing them to cross before him. (Only one
could pass at a time! )Sometimes he had to wait for quite a few just to please
his crew in the back seat! Then, when it was time he would put his foot on the
accelerator and speed up going across the bridge, in order to fly across so that
we could experience the thrill of the sensation of our tummies rising and
falling. Ah, such a thrill for us.We loved this.As we approached the beach, each
and every time i craned my neck waiting for the view of the sea to make it's
first appearance.To this day, i still love the sight of the sea coming into view
as we turn the corner. Once situated on the beach, we ran to the edge of the sea
as though our lives depended upon it, but when we reached the shoreline we would
stop abruptly as our feet had felt the frigid christian louboutin pas cher france
temperatures.Did we think it was going to change suddenly?That one evening,
suddenly the water would be warm?Perhaps we did or perhaps and more probably we
didn't care! We did eventually go in.It always took me an inordinate amount of
time to get down.After our swim we had to change out of our swimming 'togs' as
they were called and into our clothes.Now, what an ordeal that was!Even the
infamous mr bean(Rowan atkinson)Had trouble undressing at the beach.Do you
remember that scene?If not, watch and enjoy this memory here!I can distinctly
remember clenching the towel between my teeth and using my free hands to peel
the 'togs' from my body.I was always terrified that the towel would drop before
i had finished the task of dressing and quite often, it did! We were calmer on
the drive home.We had worn ourselves out from swimming and rock
climbing.Everywhere the hedgerows were overgrown with fuchsias and as we drove
by they hung their vibrant red and purple heads low as if nodding to us.We still
looked forward to that return trip over minane bridge, although a little
quieter, but the squeals of delight were yet to come. We would stop at barry Click to enter collin's supermarket in
carrigaline for our '99' The ice cream was made from fresh irish milk and
whipped softly in a machine.I watched as they held the cone beneath the nozzle
and swirled it around and around.A chocolate flake was deftly stuck into the ice
cream and i began to lick for fear of losing any.I had my own ritual.People have
their own rituals when it comes to eating their orio cookies, some like to bite,
others like to pull them apart.I liked to lick my ice cream first.Then, as it
gradually disappeared i would push the flake down into the cavity of the wafer
cone.I would then eat both at the same time.My sister, on the other hand, ate
the chocolate first and sometimes used it as a spoon to scoop her ice cream. A
simple drive over a bridge catapulted me back to 1982.It conjured up memories
and feelings and aroused the senses yet again.The salty smell of the sea air,
the feeling of sand between my toes, discovering pieces of seaweed later on when
showering and the memories of minane bridge.The evening topped off and completed
by a simple ice cream cone. Combine bread crumbs and brown sugar
together.Sprinkle on a baking sheet and bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes or
until sugar has caramelized.Take care not to burn.
