The gelato you're talking about was from a company called Gelato Fiasco. The flavor was Peanut Butter Stracciatella. If you see the Caramel sea salt gelato from that brand just remember that at least I thought it was way to rich. Tasted like butter. Other people I'm sure like it. The PB one was awesome.
Yea, that ? M&M one I haven't tried yet. The Reeces and the brownie ones under those I did try. The Reeces is my favorite.
Whoah! M&Ms on a cupcake?! I'm coming up to visit. I'll sleep on the floor.
Some of your pics look like they came from Balducci's. I'll have to take pics next time I restock.
I had to look up Balducci's to see if we had one. Apparently we do, but the closest one is in Manhattan but it's a small gourmet deli of prepared food. The actual store is at least 45 min away more upstate.
I like that sad face picture. The best part about it finishing is more room for more stuff.
I hope you get a chance to visit the store. I love going there. I'm kinda worried it's not going to take me as long as I thought to reach $250 to get a $10 reward. Was that one ice cream flavor you had (I'm totally drawing a blank on the name, it was a funny one, two names) peanut butter and stracciatella (sp?)? I saw it at Balducci's, but I wasn't sure if that was the flavor you had.
I'm on the fence. I'm happy I'm getting through what I have, but it was so good, I was sad to be done with it! I just had a big spoonful of Talenti Pistachio.
I am probably going to drive up there just to see how that store is . My partner here at work said it's a great store with great food.
Ok, it's settled! I'm getting that next time I restock. It was "Fiasco" that I couldn't think of, but I was close on the flavor. That's how I ended up with Steve's Southern Banana Pudding, because I didn't want to get the other without knowing for sure. I can't wait to hear what you think! You might want to take a mop with you for when you're standing in front of the ice cream section.0 -
Day 1: French toast topped with Jeni's banana + honey ice cream
Day 2: Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies ice cream for breakfast. I'll also have a serving of Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in my Greek yogurt tonight.
Day 3: Chocolate peanut butter Pop Tart with Edy's Slow Churned Peanut Butter Cup ice cream (see avatar), two Trader Joe's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds (2 is just enough to satisfy), and a serving of TJ's Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl in my Greek yogurt tonight.
Day 4: Talenti Sicilian Pistachio gelato for breakfast. 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, and 4 pieces of Brookside dark chocolate covered goji berries tonight.
Day 5: 2 TJ's sea salt & turbinado sugar dark chocolate almonds, my last chocolate peanut butter Pop Tart with Edy's slow churned peanut butter cup ice cream sandwich, and tonight I'll have a serving of Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl cookie butter in my Greek yogurt and a spoonful of Jeni's sweet potato with torched marshmallow ice cream. *giggity*
Day 6: One spoonful (13g) of Talenti banana chocolate swirl this morning (still tastes like baby food bananas, but I'm not complaining!), and tonight I'm having a serving of Turkey Hill Dutch Chocolate ice cream.
Day 7: So far I've had 2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, and French toast with 94g of Jeni's bananas + honey ice cream. Pic is my avatar, since I can't seem to resize from my phone. Much better this time. I used regular Martin's potato bread instead of the rolls, added cinnamon to the egg and used a little lite syrup.
Day 8: My daughter made me pancakes for breakfast, and I poured a little Hershey's syrup on a couple of them. At lunch I had strawberry pretzel salad, a small piece of chocolate raspberry birthday cake, with frosting that tasted like whipped milk chocolate, and an even smaller piece of white cake with buttercream frosting.
Day 9: Finished off the Edy's peanut butter cup (98g) for breakfast. I mean, really, could I let 32g of ice cream sit in that big container all alone?
Day 10: So far...2 TJ's dark chocolate almonds, 4 Brookside dark chocolate goji berries, 2 small leftover pancakes straight out of the fridge with chocolate syrup, and I'm about to finish off my pint of Ben & Jerry's Milk & Cookies. Also Speculoos Cookie & Cocoa Swirl is going in my Greek yogurt tonight.
Day 11: Talenti Sicilian Pistachio for breakfast. I had to make some changes last night because my macros were off, so I swapped the Speculoos for Kashi Indigo Morning cereal, and had a bit of the Safeway honey vanilla praline frozen Greek yogurt. I think this one is going to be a keeper! The consumer review I read compared the honey to cough syrup. I didn't think it tasted like cough syrup, but the texture reminded me of a medicine I took when I was a kid. The pralines were nice and crunchy, and it had the tartness from the yogurt. I can't wait to have a full serving! Bolded because someone was curious about what I thought about it.0 -
Day 10: half a chocolate chip cannoli from the Italian bakery in our neighborhood. Still haven't gotten photobucket to be able to post pictures but I wish I had - not only did it have chocolate chips inside, the whole bottom was dipped in chocolate ganache....
We had a small Italian market open up on Main Street, which is odd considering I basically live in Mayberry USA, but that's exactly what I go there for. Actually, it's Mayfest this weekend. I'm gonna walk down there on Sunday and get one!
They are definitely a rare treat for me - so rich! I only had half yesterday because I had a rough day and I need wine for rough days more than sweets... We are going to Florence starting next week and I'm so excited for all the gelato, cheese, proscuitto and bread... REALLY hoping not having a car and having to walk everywhere will offset some of the caloric damage...0 -

Yum, I love danish.
They were too small. 3 bites. 100-120 calories each. I'm sad.0 -

I usually have the other problem-- I make my own so I end up with ~1000 grams of it, which is hard to work in.0 -

Yeah that's why I try not to bake, lol. There are two other places that make big ones around here and I had that craving for weeks, but I made the wise choice of going to the place that had the 120 calorie ones instead. I might have to buy a couple more in the next couple weeks to get rid of the craving though... that just wasn't enough.
Of course after that I had half a pint of Talenti, but it should still fit in my day...0 -

Thanks! It is going to be amazing - but I am just trying to deal with all the last minute logistics and packing details and figuring out how to deal with long flights for small children - I am mostly just trying to convince myself this will all be worth it when I am eating gelato every day!!!0 -
Honestly, if I take a look at all the fancy Talenti stuff you guys log, I'm not sure you should be bothering with gelato at all :laugh: OTOH, in Tuscany they make the best pastry ever. And wine. Oh, the wine. Enjoy your trip in my favourite town!We are going to Florence starting next week and I'm so excited for all the gelato, cheese, proscuitto and bread...

forgot to post last night....
Day 1 - A sour cream donut rolled in cinnamon sugar (still warm, they were baked off 10 mins before my shift ended so naturally i had to get one to scarf down on the way home) and two rootbeer float flavored marshmallows. Deeeeelicious!
Day 2 - a serving of Talenti Caramel Apple Pie, a serving of Steve's Sunday Morning Ice Cream, and two vanilla lavender marshmallows
Day 3 - a serving of Steve's Mint Cacao Chip Ice Cream, what was left of my Jeni's Banana French Toast ice cream (.85 of a serving), 2 vanilla lavender marshmallows and a rootbeer float marshmallow.
Day 4 - a serving of Steve's Mint Cacao Chip Ice Cream, a dark chocolate covered caramel, and four french macarons
Day 5 - A serving of Talenti Coffee Chocolate Chip Gelato, a serving of Turkey Hill Lemoni Biskoti, two french macarons, and two rootbeer float marshmallows
Day 6 - a serving of Jeni's Rainbow Frozen Yogurt and a couple marshmallows in rose vanilla and passion fruit. (passion fruit is ok. i prefer the rose vanilla. it is tastier than the lavender vanilla i have, but none are as good as the root beer float)
Day 7 - three macarons for breakfast (raspberry, strawberry & plum. the other two were good, but the strawberry one was exceptional!), four homemade caramels after lunch (one lavender, one rosemary and two orange blossom-they are all FANTASTIC) and two cookies that my mom convinced me to try (one was a raspberry thumbprint and the other a chocolate orange cardamom flavor. they were both divine), and for a late night snack i had a rose vanilla marshmallow.
Day 8 - two caramels and a rootbeer float marshmallow
Day 9 - today i had my last 3 french macarons for breakfast, then i had Jeni's Ice Cream (1/2 serving of Sweet Corn and Black Raspberries and what was left of the rainbow frozen yogurt which was just shy of a full serving) and a rosemary salted caramel for dinner, and peanut butter cheerios as an after dinner snack.
Day 10 - A Dark Chocolate covered vanilla butter cream and half of a mini mixed fruit tart.0 -

what a tease those mini danish are. we sell those little guys at my work and i sampled a couple flavors one day. they are tasty but i think i got two bites out of each one.0 -
Day 1: Mom's lemon cake with strawberries and whipped cream
Day 2: Chocolate cookie sammich with almond butter
Day 3: Chocolate and salted caramel pecan froyo
Day 4: A Barney butter cup
Day 5: Half a dozen Barney butter cups
Day 6: Angel food cake with a strawberry
Day 7: MY SON MADE ME RASPBERRY BROWNIES!!!
Day 8: Warm raspberry brownie with Talenti Vanilla Bean and a couple squares of Taza stone ground 80% dark chocolate
Day 9: Talenti Vanilla Bean with a Barney butter cup chopped into the cup
Day 10: Talenti Double Dark Chocolate gelato and Jeni's Salty Caramel ice cream
Day 11: The bitter taste of crushing disappointment. I sampled one square each from two $7 chocolate bars from Bissinger's... Banana pecan caramel Peruvian pink salt, and dulce de leche with sea salt. The dulce de leche seemed like a no-brainer given my tastes, and I spent a WEEK looking forward to the banana one. Both were just, ick, so bad I didn't finish them. Very boozey, like they used cheap chocolate liqueurs in the fillings, although they don't really. And the chocolate itself, while nicely creamy, was kind of dull. 2/10, much regret, wnb again. My tongue feels so violated, even a hot shower wouldn't help it. Yuck. Better luck tomorrow!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that'll do it! :bigsmile: I don't have any advice for the flight. I've never been on a plane longer than 3 hrs with my son, and my daughter's never been on one. Gum or something to suck on for the ear popping. Good luck with that!0 -
I was at the grocery store last night and was so tempted to buy some junk food to eat in "moderation." My biggest craving is for some Sara Lee strawberry cheesecake flavoured ice cream. The calories, fat and sugar is too high so I kept walking in the aisles and made myself to the candy section. I kept trying to see if I could find some "low cal" candy. I saw some Skinny Cow packaged chocolates and was about to get it but put it back after seeing that it's not really low-cal at all (130 cal per tiny serving). I ended up not getting anything but I still have the "binging desire" in the back of my mind.
I also agree with the other's suggesting to raise you calorie intake. Slowly though.
If you're looking for Low Cal without having to break the calorie bank, look for Edy's Slow Churned 1/2 fat.
http://www.edys.com/
Some are as low as 100 cal per 1/2 cup serving.
There are other lower cal options that aren't bad too. Those "skinny cow" ice-cream sandwich cookies are pretty good. i love the snickerdoodle flavored one. It is 140 calories and a generous size. I feel satisfied after eating one.0 -
Day 1: 450 ml lemon sorbet, 486 kcal. Okay, won't buy again; should be more extravagant for that amount of calories.
Day 2: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew. Sugar coma approaches, think I overdid it a bit.
Day 3: Small serving of salmiak liquorice ice cream, and Daim bar.
Day 4: White-chocolate cranberry cookies, mint thingies, and a couple of white-chocolate miniature bars.
Day 5: Mint thingies, few white-chocolate miniature bars.
Day 6: Half-healthy today; oranges and bananas with whipped heavy cream, which was about to go bad.
Day 7: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew.
Day 8: Cookies, different chocolate ones.
Day 9: Chocolate-chip cookies. Nowhere nearly as nice as homemade, can't wait to have a functioning oven.
Day 9 bonus: B&J's Caramel Chew Chew.
Day 10: Mini cinnamon rolls.
Day 11: Mini cinnamon rolls.0 -
Day 1 - Wild Ophelia - Salted Chowchilla Almond. Already discovering new things. Wild Ophelia is a local company to Chicago with a handful of "unique flavors" - http://www.wildophelia.com/. Kind of difficult to review, but it is a nice balance of sweet milk chocolate bar, smokey chopped almonds and sea salt. Also, if you haven't ever tried it,... I highly recommend freezing the chocolate bars prior to consumption.
Day 2 - Chocolove - Dark Chocolate w/ Crystallized Ginger. Nom Nom Nom, big ginger fan over here. Rich Dark Chocolate taste (65%) with just enough sweetness. Spicy and sweet ginger pieces throughout, but not overpowering.
Day 3 - Wild Ophelia - Peanut Butter & Banana - Well, that was delightful.... Milky chocolaty chocolate with a creamy peanut butter and banana taste (derrrr). Quite macro friendly too. Only 300 cals for the whole bar!
Day 4 - Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Raisins & Pecans. OMGAHHHHH so good! Rich dark chocolate flavor with a crunch texture from the pecans. I also froze the bar per usual for extra added crunch! A number of gooey and sweet raisins all throughout the bar to top it off. YUM!
Day 5 - Wild Ophelia Smokehouse BBQ Potato Chips. This was essentially just a crunchy dark chocolate bar with a very mild occasional crunch/smokey BBQ flavor. Kinda reminded me of a nestle crunch bar, just not as textured. You do get a BBQ chip after taste though... pretty unique. I quite enjoyed it
Day 6 - Trader Joe's Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Bites. Figured I'd switch it up today and try something different. Had 3 of the mini bars. Creamy cheesecake bites with blueberry and graham cracker sprinkles. Very tasty, but too small and not worth the cals for the size IMO. Also Greek Yogurt bowl with 450g Fage, 350g Frozen Blueberries, 70 Dark Chocolate Crunch Cheerios & 30g TJ Crunchy Cookie Butter
Day 7 - Chocolove Salted Peanut in Milk Chocolate. This one was great.... nice mix of creamy, salty, and sweet (giggity). Frozen of course for extra added to texture to the peanut halves found throughout :P. Also, another Greek Yogurt Bowl for preworkout with Fage, Dark Chocolate Cheerios and All Bran.
Day 8 - Chocolove Raspberries in Dark Chocolate - Yummy combination of the dark chocolate flavor with a tartness of freeze dried raspberry pieces all throughout which provide a nice crunchy texture. Enjoyed frozen as usual
Day 9 - Breyer's Blasts! Strawberry Cheesecake w/ Lucky Charms. Hah! Nothing fancy going on here... was super lazy and kinda screwed up my macros so I needed to opt for something on the lower fat side. I remembered I still had some of the Breyer's left over from before starting the 30 day pint a day challenge. This combo was pretty good! 339g Breyer's w/ 57g Lucky Charms.
Day 10 - A whole buncha stuff. Finished off the remaining 3 TJ Blueberry Cheesecake Icecream bites. Also had 4 Cups Cappuccino Kefir topped w/ All Bran & 110g Vanilla Chex, and 3 Honey Nut Rice Cakes topped w/ Cinnamon Bun Whey spread. Lazypostworkoutprebedmeal/10
Day 11 - Lindt Dark Hazelnut. Made a quick grab for a candy bar while across the street at Walgreens. Hadn't had Lindt candy in a while do I decided to give it a whirl. Not too bad... standard Dark Chocolate taste, more on the sweet side though. Sectioned into 3 portions with a hazelnut and some sort of mousse like filling inside. Also had some Dark Chocolate Crunch Cheerios.
0 -
That hazelnut bar looks fantastic! I made sugar puffs. Ate way too many of them. Wish I had your moderation, but I'm still close to maintenance at least.0

Day 11: The bitter taste of crushing disappointment. I sampled one square each from two $7 chocolate bars from Bissinger's... Banana pecan caramel Peruvian pink salt, and dulce de leche with sea salt. The dulce de leche seemed like a no-brainer given my tastes, and I spent a WEEK looking forward to the banana one. Both were just, ick, so bad I didn't finish them. Very boozey, like they used cheap chocolate liqueurs in the fillings, although they don't really.

You should post a sad face pic! I haven't opened my Double Dark Chocolate yet, and I still need to pick up a Southern Butter Pecan. But not yet. I have to use up some of the 13 pints I have now. And a quart.
I like the Double Dark Chocolate but it's not something I usually buy. Mr Acrylics got it by mistake-- he was trying to get chocolate peanut butter cup.0
