ans: Our heroine is NOT a killer of all things green, no no, in fact, it turns out that she is both a superhero and an earth mother, fostering earth's bounty from the meager alley on the side of her house.And yes, that non recycled dowel rod was made in Haerbin, China, potentially one of the least environmentally friendly places on the planet. Freakishly enough, the Amazing One-Legged Girl spent 5 days in Haerbin. 72 hours of travel, 5 days of vacation, re-reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince & getting gawked at by Chinese and Russians alike. But this is not a China blog. dear God no.
This is about adventure...adventures that involve snow balls. What are snow balls you ask? they are not snow cones nor shaved ice nor are they of the Italian persuasion. THEY are THE method by which all classy Southerners survive the summer. Stand in line let the sweat roll down your belly & brow and then savor sweet sweet processed goodness.
Ice ground to the consistency of snow (a true good Southerner would not know that), covered in any range & combo of flavors from dill pickle to wedding cake to cherry to tiger's blood. you can get them stuffed (meaning with ice cream in the middle) or with condensed milk on top. God Bless. By far the best manifestations of these heaven-sent creations in the Houston area are found less than a mile from our heroine's hide out.
And should you EVER see a handicapped person in line for snow balls, the only honorable and good American thing to do would be to let them cut to the front of the line...or the terrorists win.
This photo features the Amazing One-Legged Girl's neighbor, Ashley the cat. He (yes "he" in the Gone with the Wind sense of the name) seems to think that her porch is an ideal place to nap, hunt birds, and be all together squirrelly.
So far, no urine has been found.
