great american junk drawer

I recently encountered a textbook junk drawer. So much junk it boggled the mind. Once I got over my initial aversion to dirtying my hands in it, I thoroughly excavated its interior. I could not help but wonder, as I unearthed increasingly worthless things- what does it all mean?

iScream

Humphry Slocombe was written up recently in the NY Times Magazine. A worthy spread detailing the not so subtle nuance of flavors available from this ballsy creamery in the Mission District of San Francisco. You can find Humphrey Slocombe ice cream in any number of Bay Area eateries but your best bet is the flagship. I hemmed and hawed over many outlandish flavors and landed on balsamic caramel. Yes, this means vinegar. (Note writing on glass.)


Travis tried the boozy breakfast blend. Both truly amazing ice creams. I can still command an instant mouthwatering upon reflection of this experience.


The surrounding neighborhood is culturally rich, filled with many eclectic shops to peruse while waiting for your second wind.
