Well, the Cush Family adventures have been happening! Admittedly, I have been more than slightly negligent in the documentation side.  My apologies to my faithful 3 readers.
This week we had something so blog worthy, I am dusting off the keyboard to report! 
My wonderful wife surprised me for my birthday with a Zoku Quick Pop
™ Maker, complete with recipe book and accessories!  She loves me.
I had spied this ingenious device several months back and she remembered my little infatuation.  Previously, my daughters and I experienced several fun popsicle making sessions utilizing a traditional popsicle mold (the kind you put in the freezer for several hours to freeze).  To our delight, using the pre-frozen Zoku Pop Maker, custom delectable popsicle creations are ready for taste bud contact in about 10 minutes.  All I can say is... brilliant!
So Daddy Chef and his helper chefs set off on a new culinary adventure!
  | 
| We put our new juicer to work for us and juiced some fresh orange juice and fresh clementine juice.  Then we cracked open a pomegranate for our first popsicle concoction.  | 
  | 
| Even with the new super fast system, the hardest part was still the waiting! | 
To help take our minds off the suspense we perused the awesome Quick Pops recipe book with amazing ideas.
  | 
| And 10 mins later, voila! Pomegranate and fresh orange juice pops! | 
  | 
| Satisfied customer #1 | 
  | 
| Satisfied customer #2 | 
And for your salivating pleasure, a little gallery of the first batches of pops. Soo many more to come!

| Pomegranate seeds with fresh orange and fresh clementine juice | 
  | 
| Fresh strawberries with fresh orange juice | 
  | 
| Lemonade from the recipe book with clementine slices. Yum! | 
  | 
| Cookies & Cream!  We felt like these could be improved by using a really good vanilla pudding instead of the generic stuff we first used.  | 
  | 
| Kiwi Mojito with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice | 
  | 
| Sharffen Berger 62% Dark Chocolate with Roasted Cacao Nibs! The best one yet! | 
As a final note, all I can say is that this really is a fun, easy, and tasty as it looks!
 
The oreo ones look incredible! Keep em coming!
