SnOasis

This weekend I had my first snowball of the year. Snowballs go hand and hand with Maryland summers and always remind me of childhood. Summer days spent at the pool or stable were always followed by a trip to the snowball stand.

For as long as I have known JCW (since middle school) he has always ordered Old Fashioned Egg Custard. My sister, the snowball connoisseur (she even had her own stand) gets the "Tootsie Pop"concoction, which is chocolate and raspberry. My mom prefers Chocolate Cherry...which is my usual go to. I decided to branch out a went with Strawberry Colada and I would do it again! The key ingredient to a good snowball is shaved ice. We all normally get marshmallow but the snowballs followed a big meal so we opted out. SAS also forced us to get our snowballs in cups one size larger to avoid any spills in her car...she is just as anal as her big sis!

I have been going to SnoBros just down the street (across from teh Fairgrounds)because their snowballs are just as good and so much less expensive (2111 York road next to Michaes cafe)
