how the other night at the calexico show the bartenders and barbacks kept putting out

somehow i suddenly regret placing the parenthetical thought immediately after this phrase.

― jody l'anti-vierge (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 20 June 2005 02:08 (twenty years ago)

holy shit, uecker's still at it isn't he? i wonder if i can get it down here, what station? i've started listening to ballgames on the radio since i don't have cable. [mike shannon is woefully underappreciated, at least around here, maybe uecker lite?]

raspado!

― jody l'anti-vierge (Jody Beth Rosen), Monday, 20 June 2005 03:45 (twenty years ago)

Mmmmmm.

― gypsy mothra (gypsy mothra), Monday, 20 June 2005 03:47 (twenty years ago)

i've got plans to head straight to this place next time i'm in LA:

Long ago, snow was used to freeze ice cream in Mexico. Perhaps one day some of the mix dribbled onto the snow, and that's how the raspado (snow cone) was born. Ask an aficionado where to get the best raspados in the Southland, and the answer is likely to be Zacatecas Raspados on Ford Boulevard in East Los Angeles.

In the summer, lines form down the street, and the wait is long at this small shop. The owners are Josefina and Roberto Rosas. Josefina is from Zacatecas, so her husband gallantly named the shop in her honor, but he is from Guadalajara, and the raspados are made in that style.

When you order a raspado, ground ice is packed into a takeout cup, then layers of topping, ice and more topping are added. The fruit toppings, prepared with fresh fruits, include pineapple, strawberry, peach, mango and guava. Other flavors are limón (lime), jamaica (hibiscus), tamarindo, vainilla (vanilla), nuez (walnut), cajeta and rompope.

Cajeta is a soft caramel, made by boiling down milk and sugar. Rompope is an eggnog liqueur, but the alcohol-free topping at Zacatecas Raspados is made with ground nuts and milk.

As the syrup dribbled down through the ice, my pineapple raspado turned a brilliant yellow. Rompope is not as showy, but the nutty, sweet flavor is really nice.

Well, I like the "Nutty Solution" because it sounds like some deranged and unsavory hybrid of Jerry Lewis' "Nutty Professor" and Hitler's "Final Solution".
