Spumoni…in the little white cup

August 14th, 2008

I mentioned that we had spumoni the night my mom was here but I did not explain. L&B Spumoni Gardens is an Italian restaurant and pizza place that is known for their amazing homemade spumoni and Italian ices. It was a special request from our very special guest so as soon as we finished our dinner we headed out.

Tim came over for dinner so he joined us for the 15 minute ride to Bensonhurst (or Real Brooklyn as we refer to it)

We pulled up to the place and it was packed as usual with tons of people in line at 9:30 on a Sunday night. As we were walking through I caught a whiff of what is arguably one of my favorite slices of pizza and thought to myself, hmm, too bad we just ate dinner.

Not a minute later my mom said “I think I might have to get some pizza for later” Poor Sha misses her Brooklyn food almost as much as her kid. Then Tim chimed in with “I think I might have to get some pizza for lunch tomorrow” and it was sold, off we went to the pizza line instead of the spumoni line.

 

*note on this pic – do not feel sad for my mom that I posted a photo with her eyes closed. She does not know how to behave in front of a camera.

And how could we resist

We picked up our “pizza for later” and got in line for spumoni.

I ordered (me: Tim, what do you want? Tim: Spumoni…in the little white cup) and then turned around to witness this exchange:

Tim: I’m so excited about this pizza

Matthew: I totally know how you feel

Tim:  I think I might have to eat it now

Matthew: Interesting thought, let me ponder how that will go over

Tim: I’m just gonna LOOK at it.

Matthew: Duuuuude, you are totally asking for it!

Tim: But it smells so good!

Tim: I’m just gonna…

Me: TIM!

Here is your GD spumoni in the little white cup.

Boy that pizza tasted good on the way home.
