BANANZA!

It was almost 80 degrees today, so it was time to make our first trip of the season to Mama Lupo's. I scoured the cases for my favorite, banana ice cream, but there was none to be found. There aren't a lot of ice cream flavors that really appeal to me...I especially don't care for the chocolate variations (if I'm going to eat chocolate, I want the real thing, and it better be at least 60% dark!). As I was trying to decide on a flavor, I happened to ask Papa Lupo if they had any banana in the back, and he said they had one pint left in the freezer. Naturally, we said we wanted it, and when he came out with that pint, he also brought another pint he wanted to give us, "because you guys are in here all the time." That pint is a new flavor...banana cream pie. It's banana ice cream, marshmallow cream, and graham cracker crumbs all swirled together, and it is scrumptious! On the way home, Joel commented that I'm probably known as "that banana lady." It just might be time for our relationship to go to a first name basis. ;)
