Jumble of thoughts, plus a nudge about RRC#7

We’re in NYC right now, and visited L&B’s Spumoni Gardens yesterday with my cousin Matt, his wife Catherine, and their new daughter Fiona (who is just adorable. I know everyone says that about babies, but let’s face it, not all babies are – in fact, a lot aren’t – but Fiona really is adorable.)

Anyway, the pizza is good, but the highlight was the spumoni: perfect little scoops of flavorful, creamy goodness piled into flexible paper cups. We ordered the rainbow spumoni (chocolate, vanilla, pistachio) but if we go back (it’s kind of a schlepp), I’d just get a scoop of the chocolate and a scoop of the pistachio — really, really great stuff.

Also, the people watching can not be beat.

So that’s it: this will be the last post for a while (two weeks?) as Shane & I are flying to Moscow this afternoon for the tour. Wish us luck!
