You might still be able to catch the last of the Flavorella plumcots at this week’s farmers markets, but then again, their season is so blindingly fleeting… they may be gone. How about a really good consolation prize? Taste test between apricot ice creams from Ici & Sketch: Ici’s has a pleasing bit of tang to it. Sketch’s couldn’t be further from tang, instead giving you a subtle perfume of apricot. Your choice. Personally, I need both in my life. (That’s burnt caramel cuddling up with the apricot.)

I think I blogged a couple years back about being totally floored by Dave Rawlings singing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”. Since then I have searched high & low for any documentation of this exemplary cover; here is the only thing I’ve been able to find. (Tapers of the world: I will give my firstborn child, or at least a good bunch of radishes, for something better.)
