Snow cream

It was about a year ago when I was first introduced to Blockheads, this mysteriously new dessert place that was all the craze. Maven took me there upon discovering that I, his foodie friend, hadn’t tried it yet!! This whole “snow cream” idea was something new to me – I knew ice cream and I knew shave ice, but shaved ice cream?? I had to see what the fuss was all about. The moment I tried it, I was blown away. From then on it was a long-distance addiction for me. I live too far to justify going there whenever I want, but when I get a chance, I always stop by.

My very first Blockheads order! What a cute mascot they have.

I love how you can see the delicate, intricate texture of the shaved ice cream that makes up “snow cream.”

I just had to try the seasonal cantaloupe flavor! It was great.

While we sit here hoping that spring is finally on its way for real this time, let’s enjoy some of the great things that will grow…

giant mushrooms the size of a fist

Massive mushrooms that grew on their own on the UCLA campus!

a homegrown eggplant from our garden

This cute little eggplant was all my mother’s hard work.

freshly picked avocado, lemon, and lime

So many wonderful fruits all freshly picked from one yard.

This little orange tree is barely waist high but it’s already producing a nice big orange!

Fine red fruits

I’ve mentioned before that I really like yumberries, which are a blast from my childhood. It seems that many other delectable fruits that I encountered on my visit to China come in shades of red too; check them out in their perfectly beautiful glory!

Strawberries so neatly lined up! Don’t forget the watermelon too.

bowl of bright red cherries

When I first saw these, I thought they were fake plastic ones!

Mangosteens grow such perfect petals that they seem fake too.
