When I was in my 20s, I lived in a sketchy party of town with 5 roommates. We hit raves, DJ sets, and OSU campus bars until 3am. Then the debauchery really began. A load of us would head to a condo complex in a swanky part of town, scale the fence, and hit the pool and hot tub in only our skivvies. Everyone always ended up back at our house for breakfast and I was the chef. So today I decided to reminisce and sneak “Cornflake & Bourbon Ice Cream Sammies” into my favorite library. Would I change anything about my 20s? Not a chance! Except maybe to have made these Sammies back then for breakfast.
Ginormous thanks to Phil Defalco for putting up with all my shenanigans. Reworked Vintage Naughty Librarian dress from Hunt & Gather. Spanking Glasses? Luigi Vera.
Your recipes keep getting better and better everytime!!! Never know what to expect. These sammies look good. Definitely can’t wait to see what you have in store for the OSU Buckeye dessert
XOXO

Yummy in my tummy! : )
Amazing! How do you continue to out do yourself?
Writing, Photos, Recipes, 5 STARS!!! all the way!!!
hmmmmm, I remember those days roomie!! KB and I once got a ticket scaling that fence to go swimming!
Recipe looks awesome and yummy! Fun food and fun memories!
Love it!
Oh, I’m gonna make these for sure! I couldn’t get enough of the bourbon ice cream you made for me when I visited for the weekend….yummy!!!!
I want to snack on these in my skivies!
I just have to ask if your bar ventures included Maxwell’s or Mean Mr. Mustard’s? I miss those places!!
And those little sandwiches look yummy! I never think to use cornflakes for anything besides fried chicken.
Looks delish! And love the stories of the 20′s to go along with!
Why did you stop at the skivvies??? Never seen cornflakes look so good!
Catherine… Oh I have more stories for another day. You will have to get a babysitter and meet me out for a glass of wine for those. Thanks for your comments. xoxo
Rachel, I will need to send you a long, long list of the Columbus haunts we hit up! Some were on campus, some were in German Village, Short North (my favorite area) Brewery District, even downtown to some abandoned warehouses for after parties. It was ridiculous. I’d like to have a sliver of that energy back…
These look delicious! I went to Miami, but drove up to Cbus all the time for OSU games and parties in college. It’s such a fun campus!
Mmmm…looks delicious.
Yet another amazing recipe and stylish photo montage! I am amazed at your endless creativity.
Now can you tell us how you cleverly snuck that food into the library? I wanna know your tricks so I can do the same : )
Mikal – Thank you so much for your kind words.. And regarding how I snuck the food in? Well I can’t give away all my secrets. But I will tell you that the shy ones will surprise you!! xoxo
Another great recipe and I love no-bake desserts. This one is so imaginative and now I’m thinking of other flavors for the kiddies. I’ll have to try strawberry ice cream with Froot Loops! We should have a cooking baking day together before the holidays, Jennifer.
Gary- One word for you! FANTASTICO!!! I would LOVE to do a baking day. I’ll also bring the wine. Thanks for being such a fan.
xoxo
YUMMMMM! I can’t wait to try these out. I love all your recipes, and this is another one bound to be a classic. Your photos always add so much to the vintage sugarcube experience! I too liked the reminiscing of life in our 20s. I have similar stories but we didn’t have a breakfast chef like you!
These look soooo yummy! As I’m just beginning my twenties, I think it’d be very wise of me to give this recipe a try–it could be very useful in the years to come!
This looks mouth watering! loved the recipe
Ah, memories…I won’t ask how old you are, but I bet we crossed paths back in the day!
I wish my youthful shenanigans included yummy treats. None of my friends could cook and neither could I, but Perkins was open 24 hours.
LOL – too funny! They look like they would be worth chancing getting caught…
This is really unusual to me… I’m going to try it later in the week. I will say, I ALWAYS look forward to seeing what theme you’ll come up with each week. May you have an endless well of ideas, ’cause SIs it really is entertainment for me! ha. Peace
What an original idea – cereal and ice cream….yummm. Loved the photo shoot – the glasses and dress are so HOT!. Keep it coming – always look forward to the next issue.
nice jenny!! i gotta try this out before the weather turns too frosty. miss you
So, I guess you are talking OH SU and not OK SU!
Sounds like you had a lot more fun in school than I did – was way too good for my own good. These Sammies would be incredible on a hot day – maybe we will get one of those before too long. Love what I can see of the dress too!! Once again, I have no idea where you get this stuff. You are one talented chick!
These look awesome. What a delicious idea!
If it ever warms up around here, we will have to start breaking into pools and enjoying some ice cream treats; however, at this age, I am definitely wearing a suit! Looks great – you have given me way too many delicious things to try.
Wow these look amazing. Maybe I can get you to make them for me one day
You never looked so studious…
It sounded good, but I stopped reading at ‘OSU’
They look sweet and crunchy and love the dress!!
You had me at naughty! my husband is thinking about going back to school so I will have to sneak some of these into the stacks for him when he’s studying.
Yummy Yummy!!!! Can’t wait to try them.
HaHa.. I really should have spent more time ‘sneaking into the library’ in my younger years!! XOXO
You are to the dessertworld what Humphry Slocombe is to SFO – a must visit destination!
WOWZA Suzanne… Thank you soo very much. I am honored beyond belief. xoxo
these icecream sammies are making my mouth water… i want some! yum! pictures are gorgeous and love the concept!
Yve! Thank you, thank you and more thank you’s!! Try out the sammies, there’s something magical that happens in your mouth when you combine bourbon, ice cream and sugar cookies. I’m not kidding!!
these sammies look great, I love the dress, super cute
sweetlife
Delish as always! And what I wouldn’t give to have photos like yours!! These sammies look delicious.. I would totally relive my earlier 20s if I could include these in the mix!
I love your blog… just love it. Looks great, as always… can have your hair????
The delish Sammies, the photo shoot dress, and glimpse of your library read make an intriguing presentation. Well done as usual!
Thank you all for the kind, kind words! Please try out the sammies sometime soon! Skivvies optional. xoxo
How come you never fixed these goodies during our Sta-tan days?! Just kiddin…you were innovative even back then. The photos are amazing and the recipes are great!
Miss Lori! I was too busy driving my bicycle in the rain to make you a grilled cheese darling!! But muchas gracias for keeping up with the blog. xo
Wicked good!!!
I really am trying to figure out a day for lunch!!! If only I didn’t have to work…..
Thinkin of ya!!
You already know what I’m going to say!!! LOVE THE GLASSES!!!! I’m actually making bday breakfast for my niece tom morn…now I know just what to make!!! Thank you VSC! <3
Christina, I should mail those sexy glasses for you to wear in Guam!! Your nieces are going to flip for the sammies.. Just maybe leave the bourbon out?? Luv you girlie…
LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOOVEEE your ideas, Jenny!!!
You are something else, I didn’t realize you were so baaad! Your book selections are interesting, I guess you can be wild and polite at the same time. Keep the recipes coming, and the stories behind them!
Mo and Jim, Thanks sooo very much. Many more shenanigans to come!!!
I have neither the courage nor nimbleness to scale fences. Love the books, and how your site is so not-the typical food site. So much more edgy!
Ms Carrotpeople!! You’re being coy ma’am. I can totally see you scaling a fence with an ice cream sammie in one hand!! xoxo
Jenny, I applaud you for mixing both Post with de Sade (as in, “May I please have some S-M, thank you very much?”) and bourbon with cornflakes – not to mention last week’s spinach with oranges in bread. I never know what to expect on your site…and that is exceptional in the blogosphere.
Thanks,
Dan
Dan, thank you sooo very much for noticing the little details that I try to add. You are the best and I soo appreciate your comments.
Decadent and delightful.
And she’s 10 for 10! I guess I never really doubted it…
These seriously look amazing! You brought back some great memories talking about being at the OSU bars until 3 am…we never snuck into the pool and hot tubs though, although it sounds like something my friends and I would have done!
Ahh..good times! Love your blog!
Ahh… Christina! First off, thank you soo much for the kind words about the blog. We need to exchange OSU stories sometime soon! Thanks again for stopping by VSC, it’s greatly appreciated.
Thank you Mr. Coggan! Couldn’t have done it without you!!
A playful combination of childishness and naughtiness. How yummy!
You were SOOO meant for this Jenny!!! Keep ‘em comin’!
