I'd seen them on social media and appreciated their messages of kindness and positivity and their support for community organizations. I was excited to try them out. Their main speciality is mini donuts with toppings. If you're from Huntsville, you probably know Bigfoot's Little Donuts -- these are similar. Bite size, fluffy, and sweet. 5 donuts come to an order and it's an appropriate size for a nice treat. There are several different topping combinations to choose from. They also have other treats like ice cream bars and pops. I ordered cookies and cream donuts for me and M&M donuts to take home to my husband. Service was polite and my donuts came out quickly. Overall, they were solid. Having tried both, I liked the cookies and cream better; the M&M toppings were just mini M&Ms (too crunchy for me with the soft, light donuts) and somewhat bland chocolate syrup. However, the Oreo pieces were plentiful and the drizzle of Oreo crème was tasty. I do wish my donuts had been a little hotter, but they were pretty busy churning out orders so I get it. I enjoyed my order. Overall, this is a nice locally owned business that supports community events with kindness and graciousness. Give them a try if you see them out and about!

After recently developing a taste for dirty sodas, I decided I'd try Southerland Sno Depot about a…read moreweek and a half ago. Although this business specializes in shaved ice (NOLA snoball style specifically), they started offering dirty sodas (or sodas jazzed up with extra flavorings, cream, etc) during their season this summer. This is indeed a seasonal business and as such they are mostly open during the summer and fall. Their fall hours, which start in early August, are Fridays and Saturdays only, from 1 - 7 P.M. They serve out of a small shack in the 5 Points area, though they initially started with a food trailer that I think they still have and may use to go to serve at events. At the shack, there's a decent sized parking lot and several picnic tables. When I came after an extremely hot day at work on Saturday, they were quite busy and seemed popular with kids! The woman who took my order wasn't super friendly and seemed kind of over it, but the other woman at the window who delivered it to me was much nicer! Their menu is really large and has a lot of specialty creations -- both in terms of snoballs and dirty sodas. They'll also make dirty energy drinks with Red Bull or Alani but they understandably won't sell them to minors. I was so incredibly hot and dehydrated from working outside all day that I decided I'd go big and get a snoball and a soda, just so I could say I tried both. I got The Coconut Caboose for my dirty soda, which is Coke (or Diet Coke) with coconut and lime, with the option to add coconut cream -- I passed on that. I enjoyed my drink! It had a good ratio of ice to beverage. I do think it was a little on the over-sweet side (yes, even for a dirty soda); I guess I just wish there'd been a little extra "something" to cut the sweet or make it more distinct, like maybe some vanilla. Still, it was refreshing! For my shaved ice, I got a shark attack, which is blue raspberry and tiger's blood flavored ice with sour patch kids and gummy sharks. This was a super fun and beautifully colored snoball! I'm honestly not typically a huge snoball fan but I devoured this one; it helped my badly dehydrated self out! It was saturated with flavors and turned my tongue blue. Fun! I ignored the gummy sharks but I do like a sour patch kid; next time, I'll eat those first before they get too firm from the cold. This treat would be a lot of fun for a kid because of all the cute and topical gummies. The texture of the ice was great, too! Give this place a try for your snoball and dirty soda needs. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The truck came to a neighborhood near me a few weeks ago, so I thought I'd try it out that way! Their truck has a pretty good set of offerings: deli sandwiches and lots of hot dogs with different fixings. They also serve ice cream and milkshakes from the truck, which is kind of unusual! Their hot dogs are quarter pound and all beef. I'm boring when it comes to my hot dogs, so I asked for only ketchup. My meal came with some ruffles potato chips, some onion dip (which was delish and a fun addition!), and a bottled drink. A good deal for only about 8 bucks! The folks working the truck were friendly and polite and understanding when I had a mild credit card malfunction. My food came out in a pretty reasonable amount of time. I also got a small cup of cookies and cream ice cream. Overall, I was pleased with my food. The hot dog was HUGE; I couldn't eat it all. I thought it was a little bit big for the bun, but I enjoyed that it was all beef. The ice cream tasted like standard Blue Bell or something -- no complaints there. Yummy, not mind blowing, but definitely an enjoyable treat on a hot day. Some day, post Covid, I look forward to dining in at their restaurant! Until then, I'll keep an eye out for their food truck.

Recently, a friend texted to ask if I knew where she could get Harissa; she was planning on trying…read moreout some Moroccan recipes. I continued my drive down Jordan Lane, pulled over at JaMo's, walked in and photographed a can, and sent that to her, along with the price. ...Which is about ¼ of its cost at Williams-Sonoma. I compared. JaMo's is the "sister location" of the JaMo's coffeehouse/café just down a little and across the street. That establishment was named for the husband-and-wife team of JAmie Miernick and MOrgan Andriulli, who'd closed down Five Points Espresso to move here in the mid-90's...when they sold to Mohammed Almohthsib, he kept the name. So it's "JAY-MOES," for point of reference, even if they don't answer the phone that way. Anyway. It should come as no surprise that, in addition to the aforementioned Harissa, lovers of Levantine and Gulf Country cuisine will also find Sumac, Za'atar, Ra's al Hanout, Pomegranate Molasses, and Oud (Agarwood Powder); Dried Lemons; Mint, Orange Blossom, Rose, and Pussy Willow (?!?!) Waters; and a wealth of more typical spices and additives. There are several types of Turkish Delight or Nougat candies; Ma'amoul (which may hold you till someone can make you the real thing); Mikado Čokolada from Croatia and Ülker™ Çikolata from Turkey; and even a few English offerings (though, in my attempts to read the fine print, they were apparently produced in Africa). Call ahead to see what's come in from their bakery partners: at one time or another, you'll find fresh Pita, Sangak, Barbari, and/or Lavash. They can also clue you in to when fresh produce arrives. Visit the refrigerated/freezer cases for Halloumi, Kashkaval, Bulgarian Feta, Labneh, Plain Yogurt, and Yogurt Sodas; Halal Meats; and Zereshk (Barberries). A Turkish acquaintance of mine wishes, however, that they had more TURKISH cheeses. Dried and canned items include Podravka™ Soups (Croatia); Va-Va™ Zakuska (Red Pepper "Salsa" from Macedonia); Sadaf™ Khoresh Gheimeh. There's a very nice Tea/Coffee area, where you'll also find a variety of Tea and Coffee glasses and cups. Nearby are nicely stocked shelves offering flavored tobaccos to go with the hookahs they offer!
