When you consider my last month of posts, it’s clear I’ve got a problem. A soup and ice cream problem. But it’s not my fault, it’s this gosh darn winter’s fault. One day it’s snowing, the next it’s 50 degrees. One day I want soup, the next only ice cream and beer. I sweat it’s [...]

What’s the thing to do when you leave the frigid north and go on holiday break? Apparently, the thing to do is eat a lot of food, go camping, and embark on a 72 hour picnic.  Ramen, steak, Cuban rice and beans, pastries, and salted caramel hot chocolate, all enjoyed at the ‘best restaurant around.’  [...]

Alright, the only thing you need to know about LA and Southern California besides the fact that the beaches are beautiful and literal smooth-pebbled and bleached-sand heaven 360 days out of the year, is that there is an ice creamery on a little street named Heliotrope.  Take a left off Melrose as the Michael Jackson [...]
