For three years now, I have been wanting to try SF Creamery's Kitchen Sink. It's a triathlete's nightmare -- eight scoops of DAIRY deliciousness covered in whipped cream! One thing I learned in all this training business over the past few years is how my body reacts to food. While I am not ready to admit that I am lactose intolerant, I am definitely borderline. After months of various trials of omitting dairy or gluten or soy, I found the culprit was soy (and feel 10 times better now that I gave up edamame and tofu and soy milk). And dairy was a close second.
Because it was my birthday and we weren't traveling, I asked Nick to organize a Kitchen Sink for me! Before heading to the ice cream parlor, we met some friends for dinner at Pyramid. It is the first time I have ever been surprised with a birthday candle floating in a beer!
The Kitchen Sink is a food competition -- 8 scoops of ice cream, 8 toppings, 3 bananas, and lots of whipped cream -- to be eaten in 30 minutes or less -- by one person. It was featured on Man vs Food. The fastest time is 8 minutes. I'm not sure how this is even possible. Sedonia was all ready to put together a cheering squad and race plan for me. However, as much as I thoroughly enjoy ice cream, I'm not willing to put my body through that turmoil. So with the help of 5 other friends (3-4 which are lactose intolerant) we enjoyed the Kitchen Sink.
