That is inevitable. It's also patently abuse of the other participants and I won't read anything that goes on much longer than 1 screen's worth. I'm happy to make that clear. If the point is to be read, anyone who can't or won't follow the brevity request, is shooting themselves in the foot.

Here's my excerpt, a soda fountain drink, from The Ice Cream Parlor


FROU FROU

A frou-frou refers to frilly ornamentation. The soda fountain reflected the world around it. This was the Victorian era with gingerbread on every corner and line of a house, with lace around every collar, puffed leg-o-mutton sleeves and enormous dresses. It's no surprise the sodas were as highly decorated as everything else was in those days.

You’ll need:
1 oz. mango syrup or mango pulp
Peach ice cream
Shredded pineapple
Crushed raspberries
Whipped cream
Seltzer
1. Pour syrup into a glass.
2. Add several ounces of seltzer and mix well.
3. Fill with seltzer and stir briefly.
4. Add a small scoop of peach ice cream.
5. Add a spoonful of crushed raspberries.
6. Add a spoonful of shredded pineapple.
7. Top with whipped cream.
8. Serve with a long handled spoon and a straw.
