    I bought the peanut butter gelato fiasco. I tried a bite and it definitely puts Ben & Jerry's to shame.

    I'm very happy to hear that. Although I had a hunch you wouldn't be disappointed.

    I knew I could trust you guys! I'm going to try to get to the store on Friday. Oh, I'm going to Scoopapalooza in Chambersburg, PA on Saturday!!! It's a fundraiser, and I'm pretty sure it's all you can eat. I'm wearing stretchy pants. :wink:

    Oh man. I had to Google it. Sounds awesome.

    I'll probably have to do a lot of running afterward, but it'll be worth it. :bigsmile: I'll take pictures.

    First off, I'd like to publicly thank ILiftHeavyAcrylics and Terrapin, without whose encouragement and support I may have never had the courage to experience for myself the true ambrosia of the gods, GELATO!!!!:heart::heart: :heart:

    A trio of my newly acquired Talenti (since I am a gelato virgin, I clearly could not choose which to eat first--I chose ALL):

    hehehe....you are going to love it! And ILHA is a great motivator. Today I realized the sorbetto is a little bit sweet so I may try a smoothie with some whey protein, milk and blueberries or some other fruit. Frankenfood meets immersion blender....muh hahahahahaha

    That is an understatement, lol! The banana chocolate swirl was okay (a little icy--I think it was old--and a tad too sweet for me). But I will be purchasing back up pints of both the sea salt caramel and coconut, as well as trying the belgian chocolate I passed up at the store this morning. Thank goodness I cleared out the door shelves in my freezer--it's BOGO week on pints at my local grocery.

    Awesome. If you like peanut butter I highly recommend the chocolate peanut butter cup as well. Oh and the southern butter pecan. Nom.

    We went for a walk with the dog and as we pass my car he sits in front of it. That's what he does when he wants to go for a ride. So we went.......to a gelato shop in Bayside, Queens. I never go anywhere without my phone but this time I did and so did she so we had no way to take pictures there. I asked one of the workers if they could take some pictures of my purchases and the girl said yes and that she would email it to the Mrs. She then spoke to the owner over the phone and he told her not to do it. She felt bad that she said yes at first then said no.......I got mine for free. Free ice cream and gelato. And it was really good.

    I got Banana gelato and Cookie dough ice cream

    The Mrs. got chocolate, cookie butter and strawberry gelatos.

    Found a great use for those empty Talenti containers - they are a perfect lightning bug catcher for my kids! Punched a few holes in the top and voila. Don't have to worry about them dropping and shattering it like I did with my glass pickle jar when I was a kid!

    I told her to put covers on them. Jumped in the car, drove home which was an 8 minute drive then took the pictures. As I've stated many times before, yes I have issues.

    :laugh:

    If you'd just gone with candles you wouldn't have this problem. :wink:
