Today is the perfect Northern Michigan day in my eyes.

It is the first day where I can truly feel and smell that refreshing air.

There is also a signature wind – you can tell by the whitecaps on the water!


If I were to share my eats so far today, all you would see is ice cream and popcorn.

I’m on vacation.

Popcorn is boring but I will share some ice cream.

This is eskimo kisses. It is coconut ice cream with different chocolate chunks in it, and also laced with fresh coconut. It was awesome.


I am so excited about what we did next that I am almost jumping out of my skin.

I’ve have read about Fustini’s in Traverse magazine for the last few years, and I was super excited to go in.

We tasted so many vinegars and oils that I can’t ever remember the exotic flavors. If you’ve been reading for awhile, you’ll know that I don’t like salad dressing and use flavored vinegars on my salads (when I eat salads… obviously).


I’d love to tell you which flavors I got, but then I would have to tell Mr. How Sweet too. And let’s be honest, he doesn’t need to know how much money I spent on vinegar.

You can check out all the flavors on the website. What flavors do you think I got?

I guess you’ll just have to wait and see what I make with them!


Afterwards, we stopped and got more ice cream from American Spoon.

This time I rolled with the burnt caramel gelato. It was divine.


I won’t lie. I’m ice creamed-out. I don’t love ice cream. Mainly because I don’t enjoy foods at extreme temperatures. I’ve had my fill this week!


Now off to dinner and hopefully one last gorgeous sunset. I never want to leave!
