Today we were walking on the beach by the lake up north near Edgewater, and since it was beastly f#%@ing hot and humid we got a little popsicle treat. I really don’t think I would enjoy Chicago nearly as much if there wasn’t such a pervasive Mexican/spanish-speaking influence. Tamarind & chili is a tangy-sweet-salty frozen delight, and there is also a mango-chili version, and a lime-salt pop. OOOH, I am so excited to try them all!
tamarind chili! i’ve had the lime-salt and the mango chili, but not that one. i’m just rediscovering the joys of tamarind, i’ve been drinking tamarind juice all week–i’ll have to save some and make some chili pops.
Wow!
Chilli and lime sorbet with raw oysters in the shell is the business.
chili-lime sorbet with raw oysters, OH MY GOD YUM. That + a pitcher of cold vodka gimlets = perfect summer party.
