It's no cajun cone...but it did the job

aka holy heatwave kansas city...

it's been so hot lately that even her little piggies are sweaty. 

no joke.

a friend recently asked me if i had a childhood food that i am still obsessed with

immediately I was overwhelmed with memories of Cajun Cones in abilene, texas. 

it's a snow cone stand owned by one of my childhood bf Annalee's family.

during the summer i remember going there after church on wednesday nights or tennis lessons 

and eating the most amazing snow cones known to man 

all while getting to play with my friends. 

it's a small town guys...you know everyone there.

it's seriously like a scene out of FNL 

(Friday Night Lights.... another one of my obsessions I'll save for another post)

I've seriously been trying to figure out how I could 

1) open a CC franchise in PV

2)have a CC shipped on dry ice to me

3) talk my friend kristin into bringing one back with her next time she's in abilene

Until then, I've had to settle for something a tad closer to home

Fresher Than Fresh snow cones

uhm can I just say.

a-freaking-mazing?!

We took our little lady

her little piggies

& her sweaty chunky monkeys

there yesterday

for her first taste of snow cones.

She's a fan. 

and lest you be the judgmental type

and are freaking out because I fed my child a snowcone

filled with sugar and high fructose corn syrup 

and all sorts of crap

never you fear. 

these cones are all natural and organic and sweetened with agave.

the coolest part is that this business is in a funky vintage trailer

{which i didn't get any pics of unfortunately}

and then you get to enjoy your snow cones in a cool little garden.

(the business changes locations, so make sure you check out her website or fb page 

to know where you can find it!)

i had the watermelon basil

yum.

and mat had the green tea pear.

also yum.

little miss had both.

 and if she doesn't hate me for the first pic...this one will surely do the trick

sorry little lady, but i just couldn't help myself...
