Childhood Nostalgia and Some Chowdahhh


By Bread + Butter (Visit website)



Sometimes we have a treat that we used to have when we were children. We crave to have them once in a while. One of them for me was some good ol' fashioned Thrify ice cream. Now-a-days you can find them inside any Rite Aid.





Rite Aid used to be called Thrifty back in the day. I'm glad they didn't change the name of the ice cream parlor. It's nostalgia all the way. I remember I used to buy a single scoop of strawberry in a waffle cone every weekend when my mom and I would walk to the mall. It was a little treat for ourselves after running errands.





On this trip, I get a single scoop of butter pecan in a cup. And it still tastes great after all these year.  


Next...yesterday, I took a trip up to Malibu with a friend, who was doing some location scouting for a project he was doing. I was happy to come along to help him. Besides, it got me out of the house. Granted, I'm working on my own little project at the moment, but I think I needed a little bit of relaxation.




We've been having some odd weather here in SoCal. I'm not complaining, but usually this time of year we would be having some kind of heat wave. I'm not used to wearing a sweater in July.




After the scout we were pretty hungry. Being at the beach does take quite a bit of energy. We headed over Neptune's Net which was just down the road from where we were. Only if I lived closer, I'd come by this place more.


The delicious selections


A half pint of warm clam chowder with some saltine crackers


Chili Cheese Fries


I loved the clam chowder. It was warm with nice chunks of potato and clam. It was perfect for the overcast weather in the area.  I like to crunch up the crackers and pour then into the cup. They also have one where you can have it with a sourdough bread bowl. I would have gotten that, but I ordered some chili cheese fries. The one thing I liked about their chili is the nice chunks of tomato and whole beans in it. My kind of chili. Mmmm...


The neat thing is the location as well. Right near the beach with a view of the water.


Smell that fresh ocean water. Mmmmmm...
It was a nice afternoon spent.
