“Coffee and toffee is my favorite ice cream combination.” That’s all a birthday girl needs to say and POOF. Coffee Toffee Ice Cream. Yes, another’s birthday is really just an excuse to make ice cream. You caught me. But look, can you blame me? It’s a tale/flavor combination as old as time—coffee and toffee. Coffee [...]

Adhering to cliché, some rules are meant to be broken.  After 21 years, that list includes—but is not limited to—curfew, jaywalking, whiteafterlaborday, chocolate and beer for dinner…etc.  But lawmakers and enforcers take heart, some rules are written to last.  The one that comes to mind today, and seems particularly relevant every day of summer is [...]

So I’ve gone a lot of places. But my favorite is still here.  And here. And here. Here too. At the Bay Shore Fire Island Ferry terminal, there is a snack shack.  Now this snack shack, in all it’s white washed, lopsided and permanently grease-perfumed air quaintness has a secret.  That secret comes in either [...]


I spent a long time waiting for it to be the ice cream moment.  And by long time, I mean I’ve been waiting since last summer for it to be ice cream weather again.  (Which is not to say that I haven’t been eating ice cream in the interim.  But while ice cream is always [...]

Yes, this is what it looks like. It’s my favorite place on Earth, brought to you through the magic of food and beach porn. There’s not much to say, so I’ll just show you.  Beautiful bays, and lots of ice cream.  Oh yea, and candy.  Below is Bittersweet Ice Cream from the Ice Castle. It’s [...]


Blame this resurgence of Ice Cream Week on a taco truck.  A taco truck after 1:00 a.m. in an exceptionally interesting part of Los Angeles that would most definitely be impossible to find again during the day in a normal state of mind.  Parked next to an electrical box in a v-shaped parking lot at [...]
