Scoops and M.J.

After taking Sebastian to a cool Good Magazine event at  Mercado La Paloma, we were desperate for a little sweet.  So we ventured to a spot that we’ve had on our list for ages: Scoops – the famous ice cream place that has been known to serve nicotine ice cream. It was almost closing when we arrived at 9:45 p.m. and many of the flavors that most interested me were gone (caramel malt would have been my pick).  Sebastian was very happy that they had one scoop left of M&Ms ice cream and after tasting many options (brown bread, chocolate Guinness) I selected a vegan coffee hazelnut  (non dairy = good for my tummy).  They have a little tray of different sprinkles (I still call them jimmies)  that you can throw on your ice cream for free – a definite plus in my book.   SB’s was the best, but even my dairy-free ice cream was great.  We would definitely go back, but earlier next time.  The cool thing about Scoops is you never know what you’ll get.  As David said, “throw a little cream and sugar together, and anything will taste good”.   Couldn’t have said it better myself. 

Before heading home we made one stop at Hollywood Blvd to see for ourselves the Michael Jackson mania.  With Sebastian on David’s shoulders we walked through the crowds blasting “Billy Jean” and “Thriller” and got to witness just a little bit of history. R.I.P.  M.J.
