Root Beer Floats

The weather hasn't cooperated with us this year.
We haven't had a winter to speak of... not much cold or snow.
So I headed to the kitchen to create some frosty-freezy-ness of my own.   


Root beer floats.
Ice cold root beer poured over a scoop or two of vanilla ice-cream.

And if you're old like me, you'll remember these Papa, Mama and Baby sized mugs.

I must apologize for not getting around to comment
on your blogs very much this past month.
Tax preparation is eating into my free time.

  3. Adorable mugs! I kind of like having the jet stream stay up north during winter. Maybe it will swoop south in summer and keep us cool then!

  4. I love Root Beer floats. I put the mugs in the freezer for an hour before I make them. So yummy.
    I have the mugs, even the wee baby one.
    Don't apologize. Life should come before blogging. :-)

  11. Those floats look yummy and I remember those mugs! To tell the truth, though, I'd rather have a Pepsi or Coke float.
    I am trying very hard not to get addicted to Pinterest! It's so much fun. I haven't heard of the Polyvore, so I'll be checking it out.
    Have a nice Friday and weekend!

  24. Yum! I love A & W root beer and have great memories of eating in the car ... a footlong chili dog and a nice cold root beer.
    I've resisted Pinterest because I know I will get hooked and I already spend waaay too much time on the computer.

  25. Teen burgers were the best! Mama burgers weren't bad either. We have some mugs and they totally make the floats better. Those look too yummy.

  29. Hope you have managed to get caught up. We don't have root beer over here at all - so I don't even know what it tastes like!

  31. Hi there, A & W root beer floats, those were the days. I haven't had one of those in years and years. I'll just have to try and make some up next time we have company. Thanks for sharing. I have recently found your blog and am now following you, and will visit often. Please stop by my blog and perhaps you would like to follow me also. Have a wonderful day. Hugs, Chris

  36. Oh YUMMY!!! I LOVE A&W root beer and Teen Burgers...I can taste them now sigh. My step sister used to be a car hop in Canada...it was pretty cold in the winter walking out to the cars taking orders but she loved it. She would always put extra pickles on my burgers...shhhh don't tell anyone ;) We had a few of these mugs and kept them in the freezer :)
