Pina Colada Trifle

I need summer.

Flip flops.  Sleeveless shirts (on women, not on men).  Beach hair.  Sunglasses.

Frozen drinks.

I'm over hot cocoa.  And coffee.  Even with Bailey's.  I need a stiff dacquiri ASAP.

Usually, I'm a big fan of winter.  I might even be a fan again tomorrow, but right now, I'm over it.  I'm over bundling up my body in the middle of the night to take the puppy out.  I'm over having to go outside TWICE in one morning, once to start my car and once again ten minutes later to drive it.  And, I'm especially over that disgusting sensation when you step into a too-deep pile of snow and feel it invading the top of your boot, chilling your poor feet more and more with every step.

Since the Native Americans utilized the rain dance in days of drought, I decided to make a Pina Colada Trifle to beckon summertime.

If it works, we will need to turn this into a ritual.  I'm betting not, but it's fun to make and eat nonetheless!
