Summer in the City

Tom Skilling wasn't lying. Highs reached the upper 70's. And the lows? They were emotional, to say the least. When night fell, a mighty hail storm pounded Chicago. Naturally, I celebrated the Al Gore-validating weather conditions just before the apocalyptic display with purple yam ice cream.

1. Yes, that's cone-shaped china.
2. Yes, that's a snail-shaped spoon.
3. Of course, those are coco sticks.

The oralgasm didn't end there. Our adorable waiter leaving us with two sprinkle shakers with enough variety to please even the pickiest of sweet fiends. Some were your traditional sprinkle, while others came in the form of red hots, flakes, and even pellets!


Only these pellets were candy coated/rainbow colored and tasted of chocolate and sweetened wax. Ole! I'm a sucker for table side presentations so I didn't hesitate to pour some sugar... on my frozen sugar.

Exotic alternatives included green tea, mango, lychee, red bean, avocado, Asian fruits medley, jack fruit, and cantaloupe.

This dream come true cost a whopping $2.
