snocones part II

so if you've been reading, you know about my intense confusion and anger about the snocone (or lack thereof) situation in Houston... I have actually been hardcore online researching possible locations and so far have subjected ryan and my parents to three (yes three) completely failed searches for these delicious summer treats... The most recent trip yesterday began with me sitting upstairs googling every version on snocone + houston, tx (ex: snocone, shaved ice, hawaiian ice, snowcone, etc) Excitedly, I found a place that I've never seen listed before... here is was "hawaiian splash" and only 1.5 miles from the house. So, RB and i set out on an afternoon bike adventure... needless to say we were foiled once again, there was no hawaiian splash, in fact there was really nothing at all at the address listed. Never believe the internet, apparently it lies! So we are still here, still hot and even closer now to quitting our jobs and starting a snocone chain. The search continues...




this is how olive and I feel about this situation...

oh dear. first of all, i feel your pain! it wasn't until two days ago that we found a snocone place in dallas. strangely, it's in the back of this funny little mexican convenience store. never know where you'll find delicious snocones - don't give up! if i could, i'd bring one to you!

second, oh my goodness...olive is so big now! she could definitely tackle molly AND kona.

love you, friend!

you should contact deb westbrook, my old roommate in nashville. she is from houston and has a dream to open a snocone stand. i think she was a frequenter of said stands herself so she might just know the hot spots.
