These popsicles combine cantaloupe, mint, and chili for an unusual but delicious frozen treat.
Rhubarb Crumble Frozen Yogurt
There’s this little chain of shops in Portland (and now LA) called Salt & Straw, and they do quite a brisk business in artisan, gourmet ice cream.

Meyer Lemon Tart
Since the last time I mentioned Meyer lemons on this blog (and shared a recipe for a lemon poppyseed yogurt loaf), two more ripened on my little tree.
