April's warmer weather and sun may have everyone craving frozen sweets. On Guam, there is Mt Lam Lam and in Catonsville, Md., there is Opie's. Everyone in town eagerly awaits the arrival of Spring in Catonsville because it means that Opie’s Soft Serve & Snowballs opens for its season of selling ice cream and shaved ice. There’s always more than a few people lined up trying to decide what to order. Families sit and eat their freshly made treats at the handful of picnic tables in front and behind Opie’s. The soft serve is rich. The snowballs come in many different flavors. The Mixed Stew Crew especially likes the snowcream option of combining snow balls with soft serve ice cream. The combo recalls the similar treats, like the Neapolitan from Mt. Lam Lam. We’ve already ordered an egg custard and vanilla soft serve snowcream more than once in past two weeks at Opie's. Guests may also order ice cream sundaes with a long list of toppings to choose from. The most expensive items on the menu are the banana split and the Brownie Sundae, which cost $ 4.50. Stop by and enjoy a frozen treat at Opie’s if you find yourself in the area.
