How funny, this article from The Tribune: make your own creamsicles at home?? How...cool!
Such a timely article, as I saw a Good Humor truck making it's stops while visiting my Grammy!
I actually knew the guy who owned the truck; I met him years ago, during my radio days.
This fellow would frequently call me, and another dj, at least once a day. He's show up at 'remotes': on-location events from which the station would broadcast. I had quite a few 'regulars' like that.
Over time, I learned he'd bought this Good Humor truck, restored it, and starting selling ice cream treats around the area (he had to promise to avoid the neighborhood around the Dairy Queen, though).
How neat is that?
Of course, if you can't find a Good Humor or Blue Bunny truck in your area, you can always try making them yourself...
It's here! The very last day to join this very special, one-year anniversary, Blog Party!!
Today is the last day to get those entries in, and don't forget: we're celebrating a full year of appetizers and cocktails with a Passport Party. This month, we're traveling to our favorite places by way of the kitchen, with bites and drinks from our favorite countries. Entries are due TODAY Thursday, 20 July--I'll be watching my mail--and I'll post the round-up Saturday, 22 July. Hope to see you there!

- Early Days
As we made our way through Virginia, and then into West Virginia, I did a little happy dance. Well, as best I could, what with me seated and safety-belted into the car, and all. We saw signs for Eat'n Park! Found only in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania,...

- One-off Meme: Flowers
Ramya of Culinary Gems, has asked for pictures of flowers...flowering plants, blossoming vegetables, arrangements, anything...for a one-time meme. I wasn't sure what to post...until Ramya mentioned I could submit an old photo, as well. I finally settled...
- Seek And Ye Shall Find
Kaffir Lime Leaves, that is! I've had to skip over so many recipes, simply because we can't find kaffir lime leaves. Any place. Thankfully, I've just discovered ImportFood.com, which claims to have both Martin Yan and Bon Appetit's seal...
- Happy Birthday To Us
Some years ago, I saw what is, to this day, my favorite Fourth of July memory. A photo of a boat, anchored somewhere in a river in England, bearing a sign that said: "Happy Birthday America, Love Mom" This year, I felt we should have a slightly more...
