Not too much cooking going on this week for many reasons - school work has been attempting to swallow me whole, Andrew's been out of town and cooking for one is No. Fun., and myriad other little problems have been popping up out of no where. The great pollen inundation of the spring has begun, coating everything in a fine (and sometimes not so fine) layer of yellow. Washing your car or anything else is of no use as the pollen will start recollecting as soon as you're done. Note the greenish/yellow tint to the outdoor table in the picture below. All this has resulted in many people's allergies going haywire, including my own.
However, I did treat myself to my personal "Official Start to Summer" a.k.a. SnoBiz (yes, I can say it's the start of summer if it's 89 degrees). I have a seriously unhealthy obsession with this wonderful combination of finely shaved ice and sugary syrup. I'm not a huge ice cream person, but I will pretty much always take this stuff. And about 90% of the time I will order Tiger's Blood which, if you've never heard of it (shame on you!), is a combination of strawberry and coconut or piña colada. I wish the shaved ice had stayed as vibrantly colored as when I purchased it, but I had to wait until I got home to take the picture.
