Last night I hit the streets with Henry in his stroller for our three mile evening walk. I try to mix up our route slightly each night to keep the boredom factor down. We live on the east side of Los Angeles, and ended up at Western and Los Feliz Avenue. What perchance do you think that I saw here? Well my friends, it was a Baskin Robbins that I hadn’t previously been aware of!

I made a mental note to tell my wife when I got home, we both LOVE ice cream! Luckily we don’t BINGE per say but we did get a little carried away while Sara was pregnant. It doesn’t help that we both share an affection for Baskin Robbins that is rooted in joyful childhood memories. I distinctly remember more than once, both of us laying in a bed and dreamily discussing our favorite things from the land of 31 Flavors.

Here are some of my favorite sweet treats from Baskin Robbins:

Clown Cone

Who knew that an ice cream cone turned upside down could be so much fun? Wow truer words have rarely been spoken. Many was the time that I stared longingly at the Clown Cone within the Baskin Robbins case as a child, and I have retained that fascination into adulthood. So much so, that my frequent rejoinder upon hearing that someone is heading to Baskin Robbbins is “You going for a clown cone?”

Peanut Butter Banana Waffle Bowl Sundae

Admittedly this one is not for amateurs, nor is it for someone who isn’t serious about a true ice cream indulgence. I might only go for one of these over-the-top waffle bowl sundaes one or twice a year, but boy do I love it every time I do. Two scoops of Vanilla Ice Cream and banana slices. It’s then topped with Reese ’s Peanut Butter sauce and chopped Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and served in a freshly baked waffle bowl. My God.

Grasshopper Pie

Now it is my firm opinion that if you receive an ice cream cake or pie for your birthday, you will truly feel like you rule the world. I don’t think it really matters what ice cream flavor or style of cake is your favorite, they all achieve the same effect. The Grasshopper Pie is both the favorite of myself and my wife. Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream topped off with a fudge lattice design and loads of whipped cream in an Oreo Cookie pie crust. I dream of this every year, but rarely have I actually received it. I like to believe that it’s because I am a complicated creature, and that no one really understands me.
