I hope you enjoyed your 4th of July weekend because I sure did. =)

Normally, I’d save these little updates for my Life with a Wallflower posts, but I’m too excited about my latest discovery to wait.

And we discovered a brand new dessert place, perfect for the hot weather. Have you ever had shaved ice? Yes? What about shaved snow? I have never had shaved snow before, and I was amazed by the soft flaky layers of “snow,” which has creamy texture just like ice cream. If you’re in the South Bay, make Sno-Zen a stop.

I always associate Independence Day with BBQ and fireworks. It seems like tradition, doesn’t it?

And when I think of BBQ, I always feel like I need a healthy serving of avocado, whether it’s part of a dip or salad, or a dessert.

During the hot days of summer (when I’m not living in SF), I have absolutely no desire to eat anything warm, or heavy for that matter. I just want something cold and light, like a salad.

Life of a Wallflower Part 10 – The San Francisco Dungeon

This is officially my first post after my move to self hosting! I’m so very excited!

There are still a few things I need to fix, or at least, learn how to adjust. If you’re having trouble with links or if something doesn’t seem right, let me know, and I’ll do my best to fix it. =)
