Aloha from...Delaware?

 If you're new around here, I should probably let you know that last summer I created a "Pre-Baby Bucket List". I knew I wanted to try to get pregnant last fall so last summer was going to be my be-all, end-all of boozin' and good times. I planned a couple little things I wanted to do that I knew wouldn't be as fun with a kid in tow. And since I knew the power of the blog, I put it out there and got it done. First we went to the Jersey shore to watch the sun come up, then a trip to the Yuengling brewery, than eating crabs on the Chesapeake in Maryland then we wrapped up the summer with a freaking bang with our first trip to Hawaii. Pretty effing amazing summer. But it was in Hawaii that I found yet another food group that I learned I could not live without: Shave Ice.

If you've had the real stuff then you know what I'm talking about, complete with the condensed milk topping. Oh mah. To die for. When we left Hawaii, we talked it up real big saying how we should open a shave ice joint in our area. I mean, we've got water (pronounced wood-er) ice and that's nothing to mess with, but this shizz is the shizz. Completely different from water ice and like nothing you can get around here.

So imagine our surprise when a couple of our buddies who live in the Small Wonder state, the 1st state...Delaware, tell us that there is a Shave Ice truck that hangs out in 2 random locations and that the stuff is gooood. They take us. We are immediately happy.

They've got all the good flavors and the ice is shaven *almost* as fine as the real deal.  But they don't offer condensed milk. So for that reason, they get 4 out of 5 stars.

John got a cherry and guava mix.

I got half Pina Colada and half Maui Wowee.

So if you're local North Delawarians and need to get your hands on Delaware's best attempt at Shave Ice, this little truck can usually be found at the bowling alley across from Price's Corner or down the street a bit at the Y. I love their rando locations because it's an adventure merely trying to find them. And your reward for locating them is the above. Worth it.
