It's not actually summer yet, and thankfully the humidity hasn't taken over here in the South.
But it's been warm. Warm enough to bring out Alex's Snoopy Sno Cone machine!
Several nights a week, we turn the handle and transform ordinary ice cubes into frosty treats.
But this is our house, so no instant drink packages for flavor here. No, here? We top them with Torani syrups! So far, the chocolate & mint are a big favorite, although the pomegranate & watermelon combo are running a close second...
This month, Blog Party is having a Buffy Bash! The whole party devoted to everyone's favorite Slayer, with appetizers and drinks based on, or taken from, the show. So put on some season 3 DVD's and get those entries in before Thursday, the 15th. Hope to see you there!

Into every generation, a Hostess is born. One girl, in all the world, a Chosen One. One born with the plates and dishes to host the parties. That Hostess would be me. It's a new month, and that means it's time to slip on your stylish yet affordable...
- Summer's Here
I know that Memorial Day is the 'official' start of summer. That's fine, but in our house, summer began a few weeks earlier with this gorgeous Strawberry Shortcake. Big juicy berries, tossed with vanilla sugar, cream whipped with vanilla...
