Today we were walking on the beach by the lake up north near Edgewater, and since it was beastly f#%@ing hot and humid we got a little popsicle treat. I really don't think I would enjoy Chicago nearly as much if there wasn't such a pervasive Mexican/spanish-speaking influence. Tamarind & chili is a tangy-sweet-salty frozen delight, and there is also a mango-chili version, and a lime-salt pop. OOOH, I am so excited to try them all!

Chilli and lime sorbet with raw oysters in the shell is the business.
