I remember my first visit to the city by the bay. It was winter. Cold fog rolled in from the sea every morning. I had delicious ice cream for the first time.

Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream – Encinitas
In days past I walked by this corner to stare at the sea. Fine sand grains felt nice beneath my feet. During the day there was beach volleyball to watch. At days end lovely sunsets. I liked how it’s not as crowded as Pacific Beach or La Jolla. Now there is new reason to come […]
Fosselman’s Ice Cream
I like the stars. It’s the illusion of permanence, I think. I mean, they’re always flaring up and caving in and going out. But from here, I can pretend…I can pretend that things last. Neil Gaiman – The Sandman: Brief Lives Early 1970’s: I was in elementary school at the time. Monday – Friday I looked […]

Doc Burnstein’s Ice Cream Lab – San Luis Obispo

An’s Dry Cleaning
I remember peering at industrial cleaning machines sometime after my birth. At the time my family ran a dry cleaning business. It was bigger than An’s.
Inchin’s Bamboo Garden
I visited a few times in the old days when Mandarin Garden was here. I didn’t like the flavors of the food and stopped visiting. Inchin’s Bamboo Garden looks nothing like Mandarin Garden. They did a lovely remodel.
Gaia Gelato
Cold on my tongue causes a tingling sensation. Rich, fresh flavor fills my mouth. Sweet with a slight tangy flavor. In my mind I see a bright orange tangelo sun ripened and picked at the peak of ripeness. I like this tangelo sorbet better than the actual fruit as the flavor is the same but […]
