Freshly Baked Bagel Joint Opening in Tucson!

There’s just something about a freshly baked bagel. The breakfast-on-the-go baked good is versatile enough to be used as an alternative to sandwich bread all the way to replacing the English muffin when topping off sausage patties and eggs at famous fast-food chains. But how often are you able to enjoy a quality bagel? Most grocery store bagels were made several days earlier, and are pumped up with extra sodium in order to extend the shelf life. Thankfully, if you’re a bagel fan here in Tucson, things are about to get a bit easier for you, because there’s a brand new bagel joint opening up here in town.

Bubbe’s Fine Bagels’ will be opening up at the corner of Wilmot and Speedway, right next to Pizza Luna. Of course, that makes sense as the owners of Pizza Luna helped back and finance Bubbe’s Fine Bagels, so they can easily pop in and see how things are going (as well as possibly send some business their way).

To learn the art of bagel-making (ask anyone who hails from greater New York about bagel making and they absolutely will tell you it’s a true art form) owners Kyle Leuer and Becca Groff performed an apprenticeship at a Lexington, Massachusetts bagel joint known as Wicked Bagel.

A bagel is only as good as the dough. A naked, ordinary bagel without any top seasonings should still taste great. It should offer a nice outer crunch while maintaining an airy, less-dense interior. However, most grocery store-baked bagels are either over salted, don’t have the exterior crunch, or are too chewy and leave your jaw in need of a rest. Other locations will use recipes that are not bagel-specific. To produce an exceptional bagel, the dough itself needs to be made specifically for the purpose of making a bagel. This is because the doughnut shape, as well as the thickness, differs from bread and pretzels, which means the baking requirements are different. Not using a bagel-specific dough will result in an inferior product.

All of this is why Bubbe’s Fine Bagels’ uses a mature starter, which helps increase the fermentation of the yeast. Aged, mature yeast will bring out more flavor, instead of giving off the breaded, salty taste of a store-bought, plastic-wrapped bagel.

When visiting the new bagel shop you will find several classic bagel styles. You can always go for the plain if you really want to get to know the taste of the bagel itself (something that’s highly recommended, as the best way to determine if a bagel is good or not is based on the bagel itself, not the added seasonings). Other, flavorful bagels include a sesame, poppy, cinnamon raisin, caraway rye, and of course the classic everything bagel. There will also be a weekly bagel special.

But maybe you don’t just want a bagel. Perhaps you want to sink your teeth into a bagel sandwich or add other proteins and tastes to your bagel. All of that can be had as the shop will sell several breakfast sandwiches. So whether you want bacon, breakfast sausage, scrambled eggs, cheese, or a handful of other ingredients, you’ll find all of this at Bubbe’s Fine Bagels’

The bagel joint is not fully open to the public yet. That is expected to be sometime in August, so you won’t have to wait long. A Facebook page will be forthcoming as it approaches its opening, but for the latest bagel photos, check out their Instagram page as you ready yourself to visit its 1101 N Wilmot Rod location. And if you're interested in work feel free to stop by and inquire inside.

He had an affair with his wife's best friend right under her nose

Tracey Folly

When my uncle found love in the arms of another woman, no one expected she would be my aunt's closest friend.

*based on a true story

My uncle and aunt were young newlyweds, but they spent very little time alone together. That’s because my aunt had a close friend with whom she spent all her time, and it didn’t matter that she was a married woman now. She and her best friend could not be parted.

That’s how my uncle found himself on dates with two women, his wife and her very best friend. At first, the situation annoyed him. Couldn’t he just spend some time alone with his wife? Did her friend need to accompany them on date night?

He even contemplated divorce, but slowly the tides turned.

The change started when the trio went to the drive-in movies on a Saturday night. They sat in my uncle’s Cadillac with my aunt in the middle as a human buffer zone, but when she returned from the snack bar, the seating arrangement had changed.

My uncle was in the middle seat.

Things were never the same after that.

My uncle no longer objected to his wife’s best friend accompanying them on their dates. In fact, he rather liked it. He grew to like her, too, and the feeling was mutual.

It wasn’t long before they became involved in a fully-fledged polyamorous relationship with one problem. There was nothing ethical about their non-monogamy. Only two of the three knew they were polyamorous.

When the secret finally came out, there was an ugly scene. A bitter fight erupted between my aunt and uncle. It took several months before they made up, but they did. This is what happens when people have secrets; the tension builds until someone explodes in a rage, and then the broken pieces can be put back together again.

A few months later, things were much better between my aunt and uncle, and my aunt’s best friend was history.

I learned this from listening to their conversations, which I often eavesdropped on when my parents took me to visit.

“You know you love me,” she would say to him over and over again. “I’m your wife.”

In return, he’d tell her she was beautiful.

“I love you so much,” he’d say to her. “I want to spend time with you every day.”

They were still living together, but the mood was definitely different. They rarely fought anymore.

So why am I telling you all this? Because if we are going to find our way through life, we need to talk openly and honestly with each other. We must share our thoughts and feelings with one another.

We must open ourselves up to others, especially those closest to us.

If you don’t do that, you’re going to end up miserable.

And I think that’s what happened to my uncle before he lost his way and had an affair with my aunt’s best friend right under her nose. Fortunately, they found their way again, together, without my aunt’s best friend.

To our patients and families, with our prime minister’s new announcement realized yesterday we are still open for the time being.

We are closely following the Australian Dental Association and the Australia Society of Orthodontists’ guidelines to ensure our patients and staff are staying safe and avoiding the spread of covid-19. Our staff are performing high levels of disinfection, especially high contact areas such as door handles and the reception counter.

We would like to inform patients who are feeling ill or have been in contact with someone who has covid-19 to call or email us so we can reschedule their appointment. We also strongly advise for all patients to reduce the amount of family members and friends they may want to bring to their appointment. All patients who are attending their appointments are required to sanitize or wash their hands before being seen.

As our new protocol we are also booking all patients further apart from the next patient to allow staff to clean and clear the chairs sufficiently and to prevent gathering in our waiting area. It is greatly appreciated if patients can ensure they come to their appointments on time to help us. Once again if any changes occur, we will continue to keep updating you guys.

Stay safe and look after one another!

OTTAWA -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford says he is confident the province can reach 90 per cent coverage with COVID-19 vaccines even without approval for children under 12.

Ford made the comments at a funding announcement in Ottawa on Tuesday.

"We're going to hit 90 per cent without the children," the premier said.

Ford noted that 88 per cent of Ontarians 12 and older have had at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine; however, there remain approximately 1.5 million eligible adults in Ontario who have yet to be vaccinated. The population of children aged five to 11 in Ontario is around one million.

Pfizer asked Health Canada last week to approve its COVID-19 vaccine for children aged five to 11 years old.

Ford said he does want to see children vaccinated, but he also understands some parents may be hesitant.

"I'm going to leave that up to the parents, when it comes to five- to 11-year-olds. Do we want to get them vaccinated? Yes, but there are some parents, that are vaccinated, they're a little hesitant at the age of five or six and I get it," Ford said. "So, let's do our best and get as many people vaccinated and I also understand that they don't want to get their five-year-old or six-year-old vaccinated. Do I want everyone to? One hundred per cent."

One expert, however, believes reaching that 90 per cent vaccination threshold in the province will require the approval of vaccines for children aged five to 11.

Dr. Raywat Deonandan, an epidemiologist and associate professor at the University of Ottawa, says Ontario will need those children to be vaccinated, but he doesn't expect a lot of hesitation.

"There’s so much enthusiasm for vaccination for children that we’re going to get seriously good uptake," he says. "Maybe not 100 per cent, maybe not even 75 per cent, but sufficient uptake that we’ll get to some astonishing levels of community immunity sooner than we think."

According to provincial statistics, 77.5 per cent of children 12 to 17 in the province have received two doses of COVID-19 vaccine, which is slightly higher than the 76.9 per cent of 18-to-29-year-olds who are fully vaccinated.

In Ottawa, specifically, coverage among children 12 to 17 exceeds the provincial average, with 88 per cent fully dosed. Ninety-five per cent of eligible children in Ottawa have at least one dose.

Ford’s visit to Ottawa came the day after the province lifted capacity limits on restaurants, bars and other businesses.

The premier said he hopes this marks the end of the pandemic, but he's still urging residents to be cautious.

"I hope, but no one can predict the end of this," he said. "I wish I could have a magical wand and say, 'Okay, we're going to be done on this date 100 per cent,' but if we get our 90 per cent, we can't wait around for the other 10 per cent. We've got to move. We've got to continue moving and moving cautiously—I emphasize the word three times: cautious, cautious, cautious—because I don't want to go through a repeat of anything."

Deonandan notes that the pandemic, on a global scale, will be with us for some time.

"The epidemic will rage on globally and possibly in parts of this country as well," he said. "So, we’re not out of this crisis, we’ve just managed to deal with it locally a bit better and that means we’re going to need policy levers in place for a long period of time."

The Ford government recently announced a gradual phase-out of COVID-19 restrictions. Capacity limits lifted in bars, restaurants, gyms and casinos on Monday. In three weeks, there will be an additional easing of restrictions in wedding venues and nightclubs. The province has said it aims to start lifting proof-of-vaccination requirements in January if COVID-19 trends aren't too concerning and mask mandates could be gone by March.

Province giving $1.5 million to Kanata tech hub

Ford was in Kanata for the announcement of $1.5 million in provincial funding to the Hub350 technology centre in the Kanata North Business Park.

The funding boost via the Eastern Ontario Development Fund will supplement $3 million in investments by the Kanata North Business Association.

"Projects like these are part of our Building Ontario plan, to create economic prosperity in every corner of our province," Ford said.

The technology park in Kanata is Canada's largest tech hub, where more than 28,000 people work.

"We have a vision for Kanata, that will see Canada’s largest technology park transform into the preeminent region in the country to live, work, play and learn," said Jamie Petten, Kanata North Business Association President and Executive Director. "With generous support from the Province of Ontario, Hub350 is the magnetic force that brings it all together, moving things forward as that vision becomes a reality."

The province is also giving $1 million from the Eastern Ontario Development Fund to the municipality of Mississippi Mills to expand its business park in Almonte, Ont.

The Ultimate Guide to the Best Basketball Shoes for Plantar FasciitisÂ

I have seen people making the worst of choices when it comes to buying the best basketball shoes for plantar fasciitis. They settle for less because they are not aware of what beasts are available on the market, more or less in the same price range.

You better be not one of those to fall in that category!

So for that purpose, we are going to address all the possible aspects that impact the choice you make for your basketball shoes. And you gotta make sure that you read it until the end, to have a better know-how of what’s inside.

But before we talk about that, letâ€™s get to the roots of the problem so that we know where to fix it from. That said, letâ€™s get started:

 What is Plantar Fasciitis?

Plantar Fasciitis is one of the causing factors of pain in the heels. At times you may feel a stabbing pain at the lower side of your foot, near to the heels that make it hard for you to stand for a while.

And the bottom line is:

When there is a cause, there is always a reason behind that. Similarly, plantar fasciitis is caused due to the inflammation of the tissue that runs along under your feet stretching from heels to toe.

Moreover, you may feel the pain more when you just wake up and stand on your feet. Also, it can get worst after standing for long hours or doing some hard exercise. Broadly, we don’t find any specific reason why this thing occurs.

Just to take some precautionary measures, we have made some conclusions. Plantar fasciitis may occur due to excessive exercise or having a huge body weight. As we all know that our body is made up of so many delicate tissues that are spread all over it.

So due to hard games or exercise or lifting excessive weight, those tissues get damaged due to which we face several disorders or body pain.

Similarly, the plantar fascia is a tissue that is located under our feet. It is also a delicate tissue that gets torn up if it faces extra stress. Due to a continuous tear, the tissue gets swollen that results in extreme pain in your heel, known as plantar fasciitis.

With that being said, you have to avoid such things that may result in this painful experience. Hard exercises and excessive body weight should be avoided to stay safe and healthy.

Reasons to Invest in Basketball Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis

Many people donâ€™t even know the importance of investing their money in the best basketball shoes for plantar fasciitis. And they end up making their game more terrible.

So whatâ€™s the deal?

Here we are going to share a few important reasons why is this small investment important for the basketball players. So stay tuned:

One of the major reasons is that it helps you to avoid any further heel strain and ankle-twists. The durable cushioning at the lower bottom of the shoes for plantar fasciitis ensures safe landings and that’s what makes all the difference.

Also, the other reason is that you get to have the shoes that are having a traction pattern in the outsole. This removes the risk of slips and falls.

How to Select the Best Basketball Shoes for Plantar Fasciitis

Are you still with me? Great.

You must have faced such a situation that when you go online to buy the best shoes for plantar fasciitis, you get the bombardment of top-notch products. So where to find yours? Well, not a problem.

We are going to discuss the three major factors that you should keep in mind while you buy the best shoes for plantar fasciitis.

Here we go:

  • Rubber Outsole:

First and foremost, the rubber outsole is the most important of allÂ  things. It ensures shock absorption and keeps your feet firm. So never miss out on this thing.

  • Material used:

The material quality of your shoes matters a lot. You have to be cautious about the built-material of your shoes because it seriously impacts the overall performance.

  • Budget:

And above all, the budget matters a lot. You have to do ample research before making the final choice so that you know what you are going to pay for.

How to Prevent Plantar Fasciitis Pain

Plantar fasciitis is a normal pain that occurs due to multiple reasons. Even when we wake up in the morning and take the first step, the hurting heels are due to this plantar fasciitis.

So what to do?

There are multiple things by which you can overcome this pain. First of all, you have to maintain a healthy weight. And the foremost thing is: avoid heavy-lifting as much as possible.

Secondly, you can avoid this unusual pain by simply focusing on your daily diet. If your daily intake is junk, then there is a clear chance that you are going to face a number of other problems too, apart from plantar fasciitis.

And if we talk about the workout therapy, then nothing else could get any better than that. This is for sure!

You must stretch your arches frequently in order to avoid any permanent strain. Also, the sport can be beneficial in this regard. But not the one causing it!

For instance, you must reduce extra running, because it causes plantar fasciitis to the maximum extent.

And that is all!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What shoes do doctors recommend for plantar fasciitis?

Doctors usually recommend shoes that are extra padded at the bottom and gives tremendous arch support while you run back and forth. And for that reason, doctors mostly recommend shoes that give extra strength to your heels.

This was one of those rare days when I touch the road, it starts to rain and I get stuck out in a public place. I caught a shot of this wood craftsman selling pepper griders and other wood carved tools from a handcart on the sidewalk. Of course I did not have an umbrella so I was trying to keep out of the rain.

Book Review: The Dark Forest, by Cixin Liu

Overall Impressions

I knew I was on book 2 of 3 and that while there would be things happening, it would serve to set up the last book rather than to bring much closure itself. It was still a very engaging read with almost an entirely new set of characters from the first book.

The Good

The book jumped through time pretty well. As chunks of the book take place hundreds of years apart, a good job was done keeping it all straight. The future that's presented is believable.

There are some truly epic scenes in this book that really impacted me. In particular the scene where one of the Wallfacer's wives admits that she is herself a Wallbreaker - wow! And geez, when the international fleet of space ships gets wrecked by the droplet just sunk me... here you are feeling all triumphant about the advancements that humanity has made only to realize that they're still primitive compared to the other civilizations. It's crushing!

The Bad

This is both good but also bad: for most of the book you have no idea what The Dark Forest even is but when you do find out, it suddenly becomes immense.

Final Thoughts

This took me some time to get through for reasons I don't understand - was it that long of a book, or just a dense read? Either way I definitely enjoyed it the whole way through and eagerly anticipated reading the third volume. 4 / 5 stars!

April 2017 Stop-Computer issue

If you’ve updated your Windows computer and use the Stop-Computer cmdlet, you may have noticed that it doesn’t work anymore as it used to.

Instead you get an error saying:
Stop-Computer : Privilege not held.

This was quickly reported to this reddit thread and a PowerShell team member, Steve Lee, quickly answered that the culprit is actually a .Net update introduced in April.

As you can see, he also immediately provided a workaround. You have to use the -AsJob switch that will create a WMIJob

I must add that WMI is also impacted by this regression.
Using the brave old Win32Shutdown WMI method has the problem as the Stop-Computer cmdlet.

Microsoft acknowledged the problem and provided another workaround on this page

I must also add that the problem isn’t only present only on Windows 10, any Windows that had this .Net update is currently affected.

 Farmington Pet Adoption Center - Parkland Hub

Farmington Pet Adoption Center

Just a couple miles south of Farmington on highway 67 you will find ‘the best-kept secret of the Parkland’, according to Wendy King, Vice President of the Board of Directors, and Shelter Manager of the Farmington Pet Adoption Center. What’s the best-kept secret you ask? The Second Chance Resale Store, adjacent to the adoption center.

Wendy at farmington pet adoption center

When we arrived at the resale store, I was shocked at how large the store was inside. There were racks and racks full of nice, gently used, clothes; women’s, men’s, and children’s. There was a large selection of purses and shoes, huge variety of toys, books, and movies. It’s said to be the largest resale store in the Parkland! All items are priced very reasonably and everything was donated to the shelter to be resold.

second chance resale store Collage

When donations are dropped off for the resale store, they have about 15-18 volunteers who go through each item and quality check it, organize, price and put out on the floor. Wendy said they are kind of picky about what is for sale, any thing that is damaged, torn, dirty, missing buttons, etc, does not make it out to the shop’s floor to be sold. But none of it is thrown away either! They have multiple places that take items that don’t meet their standers to be sold, as well as taking items to recycle. Some of the home decor items that may have been in the store for a while they have donated to local nursing homes for bingo prizes and such. “Nothing is just thrown out, or wasted!”

second chance resale store toys

Mickie, Secretary and store manager, greeted us when we got there and explained that 100% of the sales goes directly to fund the bills for the adoption center. Things like regular vetting for the cats and dogs rescued as well as food, any additional vet expenses, cleaning supplies and utilities. Even with all the sales going to the center, it only covers about 65% of the total annual costs of running the full-fledged adoption center.

The establishment has been around for about 30 years. Currently known as the Farmington Pet Adoption Center [FPAC] for only about 8 years, it is often mistakenly referred to as ‘the humane society’. The FPAC is a ‘no-kill’ shelter that is 100% non-profit. They are almost always full, if they ever have empty spaces they go to the local pound and rescue animals from there.

 farmingtion pet adoption center cats

We were shown through the shelters spaces after seeing the resale shop and it’s back staging rooms. We got to meet the kitties first! They have approximately 80 cats waiting to be adopted currently. I was amazed at how sweet and loving they all were! The first room of cats were the adults and they had freedom to roam and play and snuggle together. They seemed happy to see us and some were very affectionate, others curious and some just slept but all seemed happy and content. They were all different and beautiful; unique colors and patterns, long hair, short hair, blue eyes, sleepy eyes… they were so adorable! The next room was for the kittens! They keep the younger cats separate because the older ones like to pick on the little ones. Again, they all seemed so content in the care of all the passionate and caring workers around them.

As Wendy took us through each room you could tell she had a deep connection to the work at this center. She cared so much for the animals there and warmly greeted and introduced each as she shared their stories of how they came to be at the shelter.

Each room was a flurry of activity. There was a family there looking to adopt a cat while we were visiting. Wendy explained that they have an in-depth screening process before you can adopt a pet, including a 6-page application along with an adoption fee. Adoption fees are lower than purchasing from a pet store, especially when you consider that your most likely getting a fully vetted, spayed/neutered, healthy pet. The rates they have hardly even allow for recouping any costs for caring for the animals while they are at the shelter.

'catio' at farmington pet adoption center

Wendy, showing us the ‘catio’; a cat-patio! This is where the cats can go outside and interact with dogs with a fence in between them and then they know which dogs are good with cats and vice-versa.

Among other items donated to the shelter are things like cat food and dog food. While it is always appreciated, they are always making sure the animals food is balanced and healthy, and changing their diet in the slightest can cause unnecessary problems. “We don’t want 80 cats with diarrhea”, Wendy remarked, knowingly. But again, no donation is turned away and any animal food that can’t be used is passed along, “We donate it to some people who take care of feral animals, or to the local food banks, where people can go and get food for their pets when they can’t afford it.”

At this point, we were led to the canine side where we were introduced to a litter of 6 puppies who had been dropped off at the shelter. They were excited and bouncy and made it difficult to get clear pictures, but they were so sweet and affectionate.

The dogs get two to three trips outside every day to exercise and play. All the caretakers are paid [“not much”, Wendy mentioned], but they are all passionate about taking the best care of the animals as they can. It is 100% female workers, and they love their job so much, that even when on break, they will just go and play with the puppies. The center tries to get foster homes for puppies in their care, and Wendy mentioned that one of their puppies comes home with her every night as a foster pup. This helps them to start potty training and learning other simple commands while they wait for a forever home.

farmingtion pet adoption center dog

Some of the animals that come to the shelter are in dire straights. Some may not ever be considered ‘adoptable’. There were many there that were over the age they typically accept there, but they have such a big heart for making sure every animal is cared for that they take them in. They have certain limits to how many animals they can house, legally and logistically, but they never want to turn away a pet in need.

 farmington pet adoption center great pyrenees

If you are interested in supporting the FPAC, like them on FB and stay up to date on needs and events. You can donate directly from their FB page, and see pets that are available for adoption currently. Drop by and shop in the resale store, or consider donating some of their ‘wish list’ items; things that are used and needed on a daily basis, but not necessarily fun or exciting to donate. [listed below] Or join the many other families and individuals who have decided to be a forever home to a pet!

adopted dogs wall farmington pet adoption center

We thanked Wendy for taking time out of her busy day to show us around and introduce us to the pets that were like family to her. She was pleased to have the opportunity to share and let more people in our area know about the work that goes on there at the FPAC day in and day out.

Atlanta: Love and Ice Cream – Find Your Favorite Flavors

Image courtesy of Taopic

They are legendary, I’m talking Patron Pomegranate Margarita popsicles and hand-crafted Coconut Key Lime sorbet deliciousness. Remember chasing down the ice cream truck on your block as a kid? Well, our masterful flavor-makers down south have the goods that’ll make you come to a screeching halt in your car when you see one of these trucks or carts on the street. Yes, it’s really that serious. With that in mind, here are a few vendors to lookout for:
1079 North Ave. NE,  Atlanta, GA 30307 (404) 507-6774
Started by three brothers, this popsicle stand grew from one flagship cart on the corner of North Highland and North Avenue, to become an infamous pop wheeler and dealer with multiple carts all over the metro area. With a name inspired by Run DMC’s “King of Rock,” Atlanta’s King of Pops has taken Atlanta (and now Athens and Charleston) for one tasty ride.
Word to the wise: There are so many stands to choose from it’s best to check their online list of festivals, events and locations. Also, many of the flavors have a limited availability, so be prepared to be flexible enough to try something new. Otherwise, do as I do and stock up on your favorites when you catch them.
Atlanta, GA (404) 532-9133
Another member of the ever-expanding food truck movement, Westside Creamery has a decadent selection of homemade ice cream, sorbets and specialty ice cream sandwiches made with fresh baked cookies up for grabs. All of the ingredients are locally sourced and guaranteed to satisfy both your inner do-gooder and your taste buds.
Word to the wise: Because of their mobility, and low-key schedule, it’s best to catch up to these guys by tracking their whereabouts online. The upside is that if you have an event, say a neighborhood block party, you can make arrangements for Westside Creamery to come to you in your hood.

Honeysuckle Gelato
Atlanta, GA (404) 228-7825

Buontalenti may have invented gelato back in Italy, but Honeysuckle’s southern-inspired flavors are surely doing it justice. Bourbon Pecan and Mint Julep are but two of over 100 gelatos and sorbets in this company’s selection.

Word to the wise: You can catch up to the truck several times a week by checking their schedule online, like the aforementioned vendors. Otherwise, you can now (thankfully) get your gelato fix by grabbing a pint or two in one of the many stores and restaurants around town.

1380 Atlantic Drive NW,  Atlanta, GA 30363 (404) 817-7500
Got a sweet tooth? Kilwin’s of Atlanta not only has an abundance of creamy, cold goodness to choose from, but also an array of fine chocolate truffles, candied apples and lollipops to boot. If you are looking for a traditional ice cream parlor with customary flavors and exceptional deliciousness, then Kilwin’s is your spot.
Word to the wise: Because of it’s prime location, this place tends to get extra busy. While the staff is friendly and glad to let you sample all day, the people waiting behind you, however, may not be as forgiving, especially when it’s hot.
749 Moreland Ave SE, # B102  Atlanta, GA 30316 (404) 622-0210
For the adventurous ice cream lover, try out Morelli’s. Their revolving menu offers unique flavors such as balsamic strawberry, salted caramel and avocado.
Word to the wise: This critically acclaimed creamery is pretty popular. They offer full-service catering featuring their crowd favorites as well as seasonal fare in the form of cones, cakes and sundaes. Since summer is the busiest season for all things cool, be smart and plan ahead for large special orders.
Stay cool in these Atlanta streets and hopefully I’ll see you in the shade by the pool, I’ll be the one cooling with a pop or cone in hand.
