Faute de Mieux

One of the best things about summer is all the great frozen desserts. The heat makes Thrifty's Ice Cream, a cold Sworkachino, or a blue icee extra good. Recently, I have added two new frozen desserts to my arsenal of heat-fighting treats. The long-awaited Eagle Rock franchise Goldilocks Bakery has finally opened, meaning I can have halo-halo on hot days just like I used to when I was in high school in Cerritos (the sense of nostalgia warms my heart while all that shaved ice keeps me cool). Martin introduced us to Hui Lau Shan Healthy Dessert in San Gabriel. He first tried their great fruit-based desserts when he went to China, and now we're all hooked too!

Having no AC this summer has been rather uncomfortable, but, on the plus side it's kept me from sitting at home in front of the TV (leather couch + no AC = Eww!). And it's gotten me out and about. I have to keep looking at the positives here. The positives have got to last until fall.
