Tonight my roommate, Jonny, and I were invited over to Norma's house for dinner to celebrate the April birthdays. We were going to go over last Friday but Norma was feeling under the weather, so we were re invited this Friday!

She had made several different varieties of pizza and had bottles of Coke on every table. We were very excited because Norma's pizza is delicious and tonight it seemed like it was the best yet. One thing that seemed to stick out to me about the pizza was that the cheese seemed to have the perfect saltiness. I like foods to be a little on the salty side and tonight I don't think the pizza could have been made any different to make it more to my liking. I would have been very satisfied to just have pizza and cokes. This was a treat in and of itself.

Well, Norma didn't stop there. Just as we were all finishing up, she headed into the kitchen and came back out with a pie sized dish where the bottom of the dish was a huge cookie and the top was covered with several scoops of ice cream. Then, she brought out a banana split and stuck that in front of Roger and I. We didn't hesitate... I mean, it is Haiti and ice cream melts fast here. We had to get a move on and eat that fast.

I don't know if someone sent a message to Norma or what, but the one thing I thought I would miss when I moved here was going to be banana splits. She must have known somehow. By the time we finished all of the desserts, we couldn't hardly breathe.
