I'm not a huge sweets/dessert kind of guy, but I do have one true love: Shave Ice. Not just any old garden variety, either, but the real Hawaiian style stuff. Good shave ice....the kind that is super fluffy and melts in your mouth...is hard to find. In fact, I've never found the good stuff here in California. Sure, there are places that sell their version of 'shave ice' but it is always too crunchy...more like a snow cone than true shaved ice.
HOW HARD CAN IT BE TO SHAVE THE ICE MORE FINELY?
I'm thinking about contacting Al Gore. Since he created the Internet and is on his way to solving our climate issues, he can certainly figure out a way for the mainland to have decent shave ice.

Well, I guess oklahoma beats california with that... there is a place called "eskimo sno" and everyone here is obsessed with it. I had no idea John loved shaved ice so much either!
hahaha...good post. And as for finding good shave ice, I've been working on that for some time now. And truly, once you've had the soft stuff from the real machines such as in Hawaii, the other stuff is just offensive.
...of course, all this just makes me somehow think about how excited I am for beach camp this year :) It should be great!
There's a guy at our church that does it right. Yoshida Shaved Ice. Does our car show, harvest hose, etc. Makes his own syrups. Try it with a dallup up vanilla ice cream on the bottom. Yummy!
If you're ever in Knoxville, TN you should look up a place called Tropical Snow...they do the best shaved ice around. being from hawaii helps. the best is a flavor called tiger's blood which is a mixture of pomegrante, pineapple, and orange syrups over the delicious light flakes of ice...wow, now i'm really hungry.
We have been on the same hunt since we got home from Hawaii last year. I hear there is a place at the Block in Orange that has it but I haven't had the time spare to get down there to investigate! This is a must have search...
