Diner desserts: pile it high



I am back in Binghamton! On Wednesday night, we had a big old time. We went to the ale house for the first time (the beer joint of your dreams, no kidding. Also, they have a birthday deal where you fill out a postcard, they send it to you, and then you go in on your birthday and get 5 free beers for you and your friends. Hopefully the card will come by Saturday).


After that we went to see a movie at our new favorite theatre, the art mission, which only charges $6 for students to see movies. They show more independent pictures, we saw the darjeeling limited there, which was not playing anywhere else here, and wednesday we saw Margot at the Wedding. I do not recommend it, even if you did like the squid and the whale. they were written and directed by noah baumbach, who specializes in BIZARRE DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES. there was nothing redeeming about the characters in margot at the wedding though. after that we were much distressed, and headed to none other than the spot diner.

ENTER THE STRAWBERRY BANANA TART OF YOUR DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES


It just looked so beautiful in the diner dessert display case, i had to have it. However, i momentarily forgot tht i hate banana flavored things usually, aside from real bananas, which i love. well. the cream of it was a terrible yellow flavor, and it had chunks of bananas in it, which were brown because thats what happens to nanners. Anyhow, this is what it looked like the next day after I ate some of it...and took it home.



blarg!

Oh good lord, not the STRAWBERRY BANANA TART. My bingo friends and I call it the nipple cake. F'reals. I'm pretty sure any delicious looking cream at the Spot is just lard with a little bit of sugar and lots of food coloring. Does this stop me from getting the bavarian cheesecake on occasion? No.

If you or a friend are looking to get irresponsibly hammered, I recommend the Yard of Ale at the Ale House. It's basically a huuuuge glass of beer (well, an entire yard long, as the name suggests) that you have to put a deposit on just in case you break it. It also comes with its very own wooden stand. MADNESS.
