As long as you can handle the idea of non-sweet iced cream, this could work. My
buddy Baka made a feta cheese+garlic dip for last Twelfth Night that might do
double duty as a savory frozen treat. Or... Borscht Glacee! >

Hey, that actually sounds good! And I just picked up a shave-ice shaver for
cheap, hmmmm.

I can too. There's a sort of pan-Asian supermarket chain in these here parts,
99 Ranch Market, which opened up in Altavia last year. They look at me like
some kind of space alien when I shop there, but I make relatively educated
choices for a white person and my money's just as good as anyone's so nobody
squawks.
Another goody I like from there is frozen mochi [glutenous rice cake] with
different flavored ice cream in the middle. Adzuki and coffee are my favorites.
Selene, headed for 99 later today of course
