Last week Mr. M and I journeyed over to the “other” coast for summer wedding season… the first wedding in South Carolina this past Saturday and another this Saturday up in New York. For now, we’re staying for the interim in his PA hometown with the east-coast ‘rents… which just happens to looks [...]
[my apologies... as these posts did not follow their scheduled appearances last week]
You won’t believe your tastebuds when you go ahead and try this delicious mint ice cream… and if you don’t LOVE mint, then I recommend you stay near the commercial variety of this ice cream rather than the homemade stuff. The [...]
I’ve always been pretty smitted with anything flavored like grapefruit… mainly because the sweet flavor of the citrus remains while the tartiness seems to go away when you add sugar. The first time I had grapefruit ice cream was in Italy, when I just HAD to have the flavor known as “pamplemousse.”

I haven’t been posted WOYD Wednesday’s for awhile, since my projects have been limited as of late… but here’s something for the upcoming wedding I’m attending on Saturday.

Strawberries may be grown year ’round in my hometown, but for the rest of the world they are truly a summer sun fruit. This recipe for fresh strawberry gelato comes from La Divina Gelateria in New Orleans… where I’m sure they refer to it as gelato di fragola as they would in Italia. [...]
I’m sure that, by now, all neighborhoods have some sort of “Pinkberry/Red Mango” yogurt shop that has brought the fresh tart taste to its dessert lovers. The stuff makes people crazy, as I can’t tell you how much money the city of West Hollywood made off of everyone that double/illegally parked to get their [...]
I’ve decided to declare this week “ice cream week” here on the blog… mainly because it’s June, which means it’s officially the “summer” and time to crave icy goodness every afternoon. I’m a huge “ice cream” afficiando — be it gelato, sorbet or a Fudgesicle — so this is definitely not foreign territory to [...]
If you didn’t get the chance to see UP this weekend… you should put it on your “to do list” right away. I don’t want to ruin any of the surprise of the story, but let’s just say that it’s so much more than a movie about a grumpy old man and balloons… and [...]
