The Twister and other treats




Today we had a beautiful spring day, and the kids wanted a treat from the local market. They sell lots of ice cream and popscicle goodies. "The Twister" is the best one there. On the outside, it's like a lime sherbert and creamy ice cream twisted together. Then, on the inside is a rasberry sherbert center. That's the one I'm eating. The girls and their friend got the "Pop Star". It's a pink candy-coated star with strawberry ice cream inside. As they ate their ice cream, they searched for bottlecaps that were on the ground to add to their collection of trash. They say one man's trash is another man's treasure, and that's the case with the girls' "treasure box" that is full of rocks and bottlecaps. I'm drawing the line if they start to pick up cigarette butts. They are too numerous to count! Speaking of cigarettes, there was a guy working at a coffee shop the other day who was wearing a shirt that said, "Please Smoke." Mike and I chuckled and wondered how he'd fit in in Lexington with all the smoking bans.

The food looks fantastic! I love learning about foods from other cultures. The flat bread looks similar to what we order in Indian resturants here called Nan. And you can dip it in tamarind or other chutneys. I wonder if what you describe dipping the bread in is like chutney? Anyway, it all sounds so delicious! You will have to post a recipe once you learn how to cook a favorite dish! Thanks for the photos, I've been enjoying your blog! Love you all and think about you all every day, Aunt Laura
