My west coast brother has come through again. According to his sources today is "National Something on a Stick Day." Naturally, my thoughts turned to edible treats on sticks. There are the obvious ones like popsicles, ice cream bars and corn dogs but there are more exotic ones like kabobs of all sorts. If you consider toothpicks sticks, and I do, then almost any appetizer, like cheese cubes, pickles, olives and cream cheese and beef roll ups are things on sticks.
When my children were very young, the first neighborhood we lived in had an ice cream truck coming through every day, usually in the morning. They did not get treats every day but we did indulge occasionally. I personally really like lime popsicles. My neighbor across the street had twin girls, about three years old, and for a long time she had them convinced that it was just a music truck. Very clever, I thought. When we moved to our next neighborhood, the ice cream truck came most afternoons and we lived next door to a very nice older couple who didn't have any of their own grandkids handy so they treated ours on a regular basis (with permission of course).
My wonder spouse has informed me that Zesto's (THE place for summer ice cream) is now open for the season. I wonder if they serve anything on a stick?
