It's one of those occasions when Eleanor is inspired by something she saw in the grocery store. So she came home with some pizzelles (sort of like thin waffles) and some ricotta cheese. She added those ingredients to some mixed berry preserve, with hot fudge sauce and whipped cream in layers, and cocoa powder sprinkled on top.

The result was a short-lived dessert. That, and a DVD of six Spongebob Squarepants episodes, and you've got a formula for a heck of a family-friendly evening.
