Delicious Disguise

San Francisco's epileptic summer weather be damned, I gotta tell ya I'm a year-round popsicle man. Henceforth I strongly recommend Fany Gerson's new book on Mexican ice pops, shaved ice and aguas frescas (aptly titled), PALETAS. Thanks to Ms. Fany I've been maintaining a functional sugar high/drunken bender off sour cream, cherry and tequila popsicles for about three days now, and being that you don't have to brown bag icy treats the cops can't touch me till I pass out on the block. YUM!
