Baby on board!
After a trip to the Passport Office in Stamford, Maureen and I met my good friend Matt Walsh and his wife Kristi and son Parker for lunch at Sally’s Apizza and then ice cream at Milk N Cookies. I have known Matt since he was about six years old and it has been fun to watch him grow from a curious, fun loving kid, to a high school and college football star, to an owner of his own company in Stamford.
After a nice lunch with traditional New Haven style pizza at Sally’s in Stamford we walked up the street to a novel ice cream establishment called Milk N Cookies. They are in a nice location in a row of shops on one of the main shopping areas of Stamford.
Milk N Cookies offers only the three traditional ice cream flavors…chocolate, vanilla and strawberry from the New Jersey creamery Jack and Jill Ice Cream…and they mix various varieties of breakfast cereal in the ice cream with a number of traditional toppings. I had a thick, rich and creamy chocolate milk shake. Maureen passed on ice cream and had a large, chocolate chip cookie. Big surprise there! While Matt had a cup of chocolate with Heath Bar candy topping and Kristi had vanilla ice cream with Heath Bar candy topping too. Sounds like two peas in a pod there all right!
Much to my surprise Kristi is quite the ice cream aficionado and she had lots of good suggestions on places to visit. We are looking forward to our next trip to Fairfield County and the chance to have ice cream with Matt, Kristi and their growing family.
