people are serious about their sno-balls here…and i fit right in! i like to consider myself a sno-cone ball (if you live in nola you have to set your default setting to sno-ball, not sno-cone) connoisseur, if you will. my credentials, you ask? well, my very first job was at a sno-ball stand. that summer, i ate free sno-balls every single day. it was basically the best summer ever. i did lots of experimenting with flavors, but once mr. fred, the owner, introduced me to “the triple,” it was all over. the triple is an off-the-menu flavor consisting of half ice cream flavor, half nectar flavor with cream (evaporated milk) on top…only the most loyal & experienced palettes knew about it. when someone ordered it, i’d give ‘em a wink like we were in a secret club.
