You Uker Mudcatters have all the fun. We're jealous. You have more folk music, more jam nights, lots more pubs AND Red Rainbows. Are you all trying to make us State-siders depressed?

Here in LA at approximately 4:33 Am it is dripping rain and kinda cold - most likely will spit grey rain all day. Little prospect for rainbows of any kind.

Speaking of double Rainbows....ever have Double Rainbow Ice cream? I think the main store is in San Francisco but we have a shop here in LA and a local discount gourmet chain that sells their pints. wonderful stuff.. their chocolate is almost pitch black in colour and tasty too. their big flavor this time of year is pumpkin.


Getting further off-topic and closer to the Mudcat food thread: best Ice Cream in LA: Mashti Malone's on La Brea: Persian hand-made Ice cream by the pint and quart with flavors like Creamy Rosewater. They give you dry ice if you are coming from far away so you can tote the goods home without melts. I think they also have cardamom. they make it with paddles, ice and salt. The name used to crack me up: Mashti malone. Apprently the place was called malone's before they bought it and they just added Mashti to it. Their main business is supplying Persian restaurants but nothing beats their creamy rosewater ice-cream sandwiches on a hot Los Angeles day. they use some kind of cookie that is like a Pizelle or one of those swedish iron cookies. YUM.

I want to see a red rainbow
