sundae, Sunday

Sundae or sundae means a concoction of ice cream, fruit or syrup, whipped cream, and perhaps nuts and a cherry--
Let's go to the ice cream parlor for a sundae.
I'd like a butterscotch sundae with nuts and whipped cream.

Sunday ( always capitalized, rhymes with sundae ) means the first ( or the last ) day of the week--
A generation ago, it was illegal for most stores to open on a Sunday.
Let's go to the park on Sunday.

Now that you know that, you can say--
"We stopped for an ice cream sundae in that restaurant last Sunday."
