| - My experience started this way:
45 seconds, bicycle crunches,
45 seconds, inch worms,
Sprint to the line
......etc, etc.
You got it, I was in boot camp at 6pm with 100-degree, "dry" heat. What better way to wet my whistle at 7 than Snow Ono Shaved Ice that just happened to be in the same park?
With probably 30+ flavors and free mix-ins, like condensed milk and caramel syrup (ice cream is extra), Snow Ono is a divine experience.
I had the amply-sized small for $4 with Watermelon, Lime and Blue Hawaii. What came out looked like a colored mess of goodness not that different from an ordinary snow cone, but what I tasted was anything but a snow cone. You can't compare it with any other shaved ice and syrup experience because, unlike the Slurpee, Slushee, Icee or Snow Cone, the ice is so fine that the syrup forms an almost non-Newtonian fluid with it - stable enough that I could drive, but instantly liquid in the mouth. Unlike the others as well, the shaved ice and syrup are so perfectly blended that you never get to the bottom and find unflavored ice. What you do get is a little bit of crusty ice around the edges that adds a different texture and adds to the refreshment overall.
I certainly look forward to next Wednesday's Boot Camp because until then I'll only have water to cool me down.
