Mama Says Monday: Key Lime Everything, Please!

Have you been to places that have a flavor of the month? Well, this summer has been the season of key lime. Now let me tell you, I have always loved key lime pie. I have eaten some reall divine key lime pies, some not quite divine key lime pies, but I don’t think I have ever had a really bad key lime pie. I love the tartness of lemon, and like almost anything lemon, but I love key lime. And while Aleta shares my love of all things lemon and Rheba doesn’t, both girls love key lime.

So, this summer there seems to have been an explosion of key lime items. There were key lime Oreos. Actually, I think they were knock-off Oreos. Didn’t matter to me that they weren’t Oreos. Also, there was the key lime donuts. These were introduced to my family thru one of Rheba’s friends. Rheba tried them at her house, then came home and told me to look for them. I looked, I found, I tried, and fell in love.

Then before summer was over, while strolling through the Walmart, I spied key lime ice cream sandwiches. Of course, I took them home. Again, they were a hit at my house.

This summer of key lime has been wonderful and I don’t know how much longer these key lime items will be found at Walmart. But guess what?? The Sheffield girls also love anything pumpkin. And fall brings on the pumpkin flavored items. So my household is ready. Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall!!!!

Until Next Week!
