Grown up pops


No, Silly! Not those Pops! Popsicles! Shopgirlove doesn't have much of a sweet tooth. So, when the weather turns steamy, she feels a little left out on the frozen goodie front. But why not make savory chilled treats? Something for a more sophisticated palate? Not to denigrate the lovely fudgesicle, mind you...but some taste buds shrivel at sugar. Others have gone before her but she has some ideas of her own, why not just freeze any salty, saucy dish you love:


Bloody Mary pops (would need jello; as would any booze-based pop,) Mexican pea pudding pops, shrimp cocktail pops, French onion soup pops (substitute mini grilled cheeses for the croutons as an accompaniment,) oyster shooter pops! Why not?

Shopgirlove couldn't find any mature looking popsicle molds, but Fred has these "Cool Jazz" ice cube trays that would really steal the show.
