<p>Well we have the hot school list- we have a pretty hot discussion about ID, and we have several discussions about what virtual drink to have in a virtual bar, so I thought I would poll on what sort of things people like to have to cool off ( non alcoholic)
I like popsicles but I also really like Mochi ice cream- they have it at Trader Joes and it is the same stuff you get at the sushi bar- green tea is my favorite :)</p>
<p>Dairymens Lemon flavored Iced Tea. I literally drink gallons of the stuff.</p>
<p>EK4: My D talked me into buying an enormous box of mochi ice cream at Costco the last time we were there… and now only the green tea flavor is left. Keeps me awake if I eat it too close to bedtime. </p>
<p>My favorite summer treat is eating the fruit off my bushes and trees. For two weeks I ate plums every morning, now I’m getting a handful of blueberries for my cereal every day, and the figs are just starting to ripen. I had the first one on Saturday. My cherry tomatoes are just beginning to bear (the bunnies got them earlier) and I’m watching the rest of the tomatoes like a hawk, for the first flash of red. Then I’ll eat the fried green tomatoes that my father liked to make us with the early tomatoes. So far this year my sugar pumpkin vine has 9 pumpkins on it… enough for me for pies and for the neighbor’s kids to have for their own, if they all ripen for Halloween and Thanksgiving. And my pink potatoes are wonderful.</p>
<p>Starbucks mocha light frappucino…with whipped cream, of course!</p>
<p>fresca. yum.</p>
<p>Soft frozen yogurt, chocolate of course with jimmys or chocolate sprinkles, depending on your region.</p>
<p>East Coast frozen custard. Why don’t we have it in CA?</p>
<p>Skylight blue or vanilla snowballs. I think this is mostly a Baltimore/Washington treat.</p>
<p>Strawberry shortcake - the <em>real</em> kind with homemade biscuits, whipped cream you do yourself and, even better, when you’ve picked the strawberries (we still have two farmers in town with “pick your own”). Yum!</p>
<p>homemade root beer floats–nothing better at the end of a hot day!</p>
<p>and maybe a fudgecicle (Is that spelled right??) to tide me over in the afternoon…</p>
<p>Chill Lemon Ice and Strawberry Banana Orange Smoothies</p>
<p>Blue Bell bullet popsicles for husband and son and fat free jello chocolate pudding cups with several teaspoons of lite cool whip on top for me! I really like the cool whip the best; I don’t know why I don’t just eat it from the tub and skip the pudding :-)</p>
<p>Jack and Jill creamsicles and all kinds of homemade water ice (both in Philly and suburbs) and Kohr Bros. frozen custard & Polish water ice (sold mainly down the shore). I’m still trying to find some place that sells Dole Whips (it was like frozen custard )- we had a place that sold it locally, but it has sinced closed. It used to be available at Disneyworld, but I think they stopped carrying it. If anyone has seen it, please post.</p>
<p>Mango Ice from Rita’s. Mmmmmm…</p>
<p>pokey, lol I am always getting upset at my H as he eats the lite cool whip staraight from the tub and then there is never any left to put on my strawberries! It also tastes good on sugar free jello, when you want the sweet without the cals</p>
<p>my girls both like frappicinos carmel ones with whip- alas its been years since I can suck something like that down and not feel guilty-
( plus they are really sweet)
but mango lassi …
and a local indian restaurant even has mango margeritas which are almost as good.( or better depending on how many you have)
and mangoes have lots of vitamins right? so its all good :)</p>
<p>Fresh lemon soda at the Vietnamese restaurant in the Asian mall. Fresh lemon juice, soda water in a can you pour in yourself, mounds of granulated sugar and a bunch of ice.</p>
<p>Citron presse but more fun.</p>
<p>nyumom, will this do?
