Sorbet...With Champagne

Scoops in Los Angeles does not mess around. They don't use artificial flavoring. They don't even use natural flavoring. They use the real deal Holyfield of all flavoring...the actual ingredient! If you want bacon ice cream, there is real bacon in there. If you want goat cheese and basil ice cream, guess what? Real goat cheese and basil.
I know, I know, your mind has been blown.
So, the other day, I popped my head in to Scoops, and low and behold, right before my very eyes, there it was... Now if you have been paying attention at all, you know where I am going with this....
a Champagne and Pear Sorbet, with real champagne!
So of course, my first question is,
"How much champagne is in a scoop?"
Needless to say, I found out that Scoops sells large ice cream cakes that day. It may not have been my birthday, but it sure felt like it was.

Monkey...With Champagne

I think we can all agree that this is a little creepy. Not the champagne part, of course. Not even the fact that the monkey is dressed real nice and offering up some Champagne. That's the part I really like. I'm even okay with his eery face and broken teeth. Haven't we all had nights like those? What I find slightly alarming, is the rope. There is a rope tied around his ankle, tying him to a post.
Call me crazy, but when given the choice between a beat up plastic monkey and a full bottle of champagne, I don't think that monkey is going anywhere, anytime soon...

Animal Crackers...With Champagne

There is more to this photo than meets the eye. This isn't your ole' run of the mill cracker and wine pairing. Oh no. This is, "I'm really fucking stressed at work. It's 5pm on a Friday. You know what? I'm going to take an few minutes for myself, pop open a bottle of bubbly, grab a snack and enjoy some 'me' time!"
And I think we all can agree that when it's time to snack, animal crackers look innocent enough, but once you dig in, the buttery delisciousness takes over and you can't stop. You can't have just one. So in honor of the animal crackers, not only did I eat the whole bag, I drank the whole bottle.
