Drooling on THEIR bedcovers…
OH, BOY, now they’ve done it! THEY took those little devil grand-anthros to the newest ice cream shop in Rome, Le Crème, where THEY tasted dark chocolate fondente, hazelnut, watermelon, fresh peach and who knows what-all, and I was not given even a virtual a LICK!!!
Mama says it is the best gelato in Rome, and she has tried quite a few. But she says the peach tastes like the ice cream that her grandmother used to make in the old ice cream buckets–the ones the kids had to turn for hours (it seemed!) until they could have the delicious results. Now mama makes peach ice cream by just whipping peaches, sugar, vanilla and cream together and freezing it in the freezer, taking it out after about an hour to mix it nicely and then doing nothing! Easy peasy. I have tasted it, THANKS TO SOMEONE WHO WAS VISITING US ACTUALLY THINKING ABOUT ME AND GIVING ME A LICK, and it was pretty darn good.
But this place, mama says, is heaven.
Tastes better than the tip of my nose, that’s for sure!
So glad you got a lick or two, Loulou!
Well, I had to wheedle it out of my sitter, haha. And to tell you truth, it wasn’t much.
This post should come with a warning for your human readers, Loulou! Way too tempting!
That first photo says it all. Well, they will just have to buy you a pint from the SuperU when they get back!! And yes, the Italians do it best! Papa gave me some of his caramel vanilla yesterday after lunch. Mama sneaked me a little piece of fish and a bread stick. Hmmmm, maybe these road trips aren’t so awful. But I’m with you Loulou. Would rather be HOME.
And I’ve been telling mama and papa how wonderful it is to be a doggy who can TRAVEL well…okay, we’re in the same boat, so to speak, haha. Missing you, Mya.
Uh, can we have a taste of your mama’s version of peach ice cream? It sounds delish! 🙂
This is what happens when you don’t want to travel, Loulou. You miss the tasty dishes. 🙁
Well, I’m going to lean on my Kitty Whisperer to enlarge her fistful of kibble…
An ice cream place from my childhood is still in business, and their peach is heavenly too – and so is their black walnut ! Too bad they can’t bring you some of THAT back from Roma.
We are being bombarded with World Cup promos. Who do you favor ?
Well, we three are embarrassed that Italy is not in the World Cup. OR the United States. So…it’s papa’s wish to root for Iceland, who show very very well and are the underdog but very courageous. France or Spain…so hard to pick one!
