  • The Case for Gelato

    April 16, 2017 /

    The first gelato cart appeared between the years of 1920 and 1930 in the northern Italian city of Varese. Legend regarding the actual incarnation of ice cream is vague, though history suggests the idea of ice cream started in Sicily, ancient Rome, and Egypt when frozen snow was preserved underground and flavored. A man by the name of Francsco Procopiio dei Coltelli made the first usable ice cream machine in 1686. To all of these innovators of gelato, I thank you. I’m not sure my life would be the same without gelato in it. Gelato means ice cream, and it starts out with the same custard base, but it has…

I am only posting this on my blog today because I realized rather quickly after my cousin posted the above photo on Facebook that I’m in real danger. D-A-N-G-E-R. I’m fearing that my waistline might expand. There should have been a warning in the forecast. C-A-U-T-I-O-N. In fact, I’m pretty sure I feel it expanding from simply looking at the photograph of it. N-O-T   F-A-I-R. Can you believe the nerve of Ben & Jerry? (I know…they no longer own the company, but I’m blaming them anyway. They started the…
