The best ice cream I ever had. Far better than the Grom (I had it both in Florence and NY), Vivoli and Gioliti's of this world.

Like swimming in colors. Melt in your mouth colors. Carol Carol Carol, do you have any idea in what turmoil you throw us mere mortals? How hard it is, to choose which color tray to splash around in? You make me almost beg you to throw me in an ice cream maker and your choice of color (or was it flavor?) right after me. And spin and spin yourself into gelati-oblivion.<BR/><BR/>The "boite d'aquarelle" you are referring to here again, methinks I get the joke, and then again, one never knows with you! <BR/><BR/>I sneaked into a few paint stores in Italy, but was so busy running after the gelati, the choice was too overwhelming, and then what do I buy paint colors for anyway(nonono, I have bought my share of colors for the kids, nurtured their talents, enough! I could have bought a paint factory for the money I spent on them - the kids and the colors. Now I want to invest in ice cream and gelati stocks exclusively. True, they melt away too, but at least on my tongue, and those memories are all mine (yep, Mons. Proust, forget about those Madeleines, much too hot for tea this time of the year - better get out from under your down duvet and check out the new American ice cream flavors around the corner!).<BR/><BR/>On an entirely serious note:<BR/>I discovered a woman artisan gelataia in Barletta Italia! First time in my life that I had two ice cream cones with three flavors each in a row and was left wanting for a third one, even though that master gelataia kept spooning me her heavenly frozen manna. Need I say more than dark chocolate with the best hot pepperflake of all of Italy, anguria with an herb I thought is used exclusively for candles to keep moskitos at bay on summer nights?Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-64564033449057174712007-07-16T15:08:00.000-04:002007-07-16T15:08:00.000-04:00I do love ice cream.

We'd gone out to get a cone and he ordered a small, I ordered a kiddy size. The small was at least a pint of ice cream. I mean, come ON! The kiddy was at least a cup and half of it went to waste, which I dislike.
