A magician named Gob

Yesterday we drove off down south. Stopped in Huntington Beach, Newport Beach and Balboa Island and finished off in Laguna Beach. On Balboa Island I came across two frozen banana stands and felt I just had to try one. Being a big fan of Arrested Development (the TV-show) I had to find out what this thing tasted like. On the main street on the island called Marine Avenue, right next to each other, you have Dad's Donut & Bakery Shop and Sugar 'N' Spice. I wasn't quite sure which one to go with but I heard some girls talking about Sugar 'N' Spice being the original one so I figured I'd go for that one. What you get is a frozen banana double dipped in chocolate and then dipped again in the topping of your choice. I went for peanuts and chocolate topping. I loved it, but not being much of a sweet tooth I thought that it was a bit too much with a whole one for myself. But hey, this is America... nothing comes in small sizes. It tasted like a Magnum ice cream with banana sorbet instead of vanilla ice cream. In other words: great success!
