(Dad’s Original Frozen Banana)
We really do have frozen banana stands here in Orange County. They may not be shaped like giant bananas (although their signs are) but we have them.
Two of them, in fact. I’ve just only shot one. These are shots I took during two different weekends in July when Pablo came to visit me. Both times we went to Balboa Island (a mere 10 minute drive) to get chilaquiles (the very same best chilaquiles I spoiled Ashley with, of course). But more about those – and Balboa Island – in another post, when we meander once again through Orange County…

ok, can I just come back now please? like, right now?
love this, and you.
xoxox
I love them! I also love the idea of frozen bananas, and sprinkles. <3
teehee. what are they like – actual frozen bananas? with toppings? don’t bananas just go black when you freeze them? well, I guess it’s just the skin.
I can see Pablo riding his Segway up to the stand as we speak.
oh, that ice cream was not the best, but it sure was the best for photographing!
and i love the continuation of the orange county series :)
Oh I love this post, especially the b/w shot. I grew up in Laguna in the ’60s and ate frozen bananas every weekend at the beach. A frozen banana dipped in chocolate and rolled in toasted chopped nuts was even approved by parents, well, when we were young enough to care.
But I have told people about the beachfront frozen banana stands and they have doubted me. Looked at me as if I was talking about rainbow-spewing unicorns or something. I’m bookmarking this so I can send them here. Thanks for having my back.
oh god. i used to eat those every summer. we stay at a beach house in newport and get on our strand cruisers and head out for a balboa bar with jimmies. yum!
