They should really shut down the 405 every weekend.

Yesterday was outrageously fun! Pancakes + bowling, followed by a field trip to a place I’ve been dying to check out since it opened in January:

Yes, as in the same gelato I blog about all the time, only on the Westside! This location doesn’t have as many flavors…

…but they do offer coffee…

…AND it’s owned by a food blogger!
I had my usual – 2 samples of regular flavors (yesterday’s were Horchata and Chocolate Porto Wine)…

…ordered the vegan flavors (Maple Caramel and Tiramisu)

You have to ask for toppings (they’re not self-serve, but still free!)

Peanuts and chocolate sprinkles. One stray purple.

Still kinda hungry, so I snacked on a fruit leather sample that I’ve had in my bag for over a year!

(Digging into old food stashes really made it feel like Carmageddon.)

We were “good” Angelenos the rest of the night and stayed home, off the roads. I whipped up a quick salad with chopped greens, Balsamic Onions, Artichoke Hearts

Dressing:

Added chicken to my portion. The little blue bowl was for Abe.

In honor of our city, I wanted to watch something with lots of Los Angeles locations – Pulp Fiction was on Netflix Instant so we chose that.

I haven’t seen this movie since it was in theaters and was surprised at how much detail I remembered (probably because I was obsessed with the soundtrack). 17 years later, it still holds up.

You do have the most fun! I wish there was a SCOOPS near me. What blog does the owner write?
matatouille (sp?!) click on the link (i attached it to “food blogger”) for the address
They have Intelligentsia coffee! The best! Ahhh and Pulpfiction, ultimate classic
PS: I have a random question- I noticed that you have foodbuzz ads but still a .wordpress URL- I’m struggling to figure out what i have to do/install/upgrade in order to enable javascript/foodbuzz ads on my site?
it should work! i’d email foodbuzz w any questions.
The ice cream looks amazing! The salad sounds perfect! Love the addiction of onions…YUM! I remember the first time I saw Pulp Fiction. I think the quality of the film is a major reason why I remember the details so well too. I have seen it often, but I remember how vividly I remember it when I saw it again.
When I saw the title of this post, I thought it was going to be about some sort of special caramel, lol. I’m definitely not an Angeleno.
Their gelato flavors sound very unique! I would definitely have gone for horchata.
I love Pulp Fiction!!! John Travolta is my absolute favorite!!! Also, those onions look so good. I’ll have to get some next time I’m at Trader Joe’s.
Scoops has been on my list of must eats forever!
that gelato looks incredible. I wish we had a place like that around where I live!
I just finished watching pulp fiction on netflix last night, what a classic! Now, I have to pencil in a gelato date soon.
Oh, Scoops, please open in San Francisco or Honolulu! By the way, thank you for sharing your previous ED history so candidly. I just read some of the links on you FAQs page and your comments, responses, and answers are very inspiring and helpful!
