The Next Top Ten Tuesday

In honor of the unofficial start of summer, the post-Memorial Day Top Ten Tuesday will be hot weather treats that have made me happy. I'm not talking about some snow cone I had as a child, but things I've gotten at places around here.

As of now the weather forecast looks good for next Tuesday: mostly sunny and  a high near 80 degrees.

My favorite is not actually from a restaurant but is the Gelati at Rita's road-side stands.

It is a layered combination of frozen custard and Italian ice. The custard comes in vanilla & chocolate flavors. The ices are made with real fruit and can be enjoyed without the custard for a lighter treat

For an even lighter treat, they usually have a least one sugar-free ice available

When it's really hot out, these really hit the spot.

Any specialty drink from Roy's is fantastic, but they are at their best when consumed during the warm weather months.

I agree that Rita's is a must but another great place is Meadows Original Frozen Custard on Walther Blvd off White Marsh Blvd.
