Try Chocolate Orange Gelato

In my last post I said something about gelato and a good story that would follow. Well it has been awhile since my last post. I got a little busy. Well, busy isn't the right word. Because I actually didn't really do much. I didn't feel like doing much. And that would be because I got a skin infection. MRSA to be exact. I was hospitalized for a few days and put on bed rest for many more. And I probably could have blogged in that time, but I just didn't feel like doing it or much of anything actually. I don't even know what I did with all the time. Slept. And I had visitors to entertain me. Anyways, I am on the mend. Still can't do much of anything, and it really stinks. Summer is my favorite time of year, and I can't do all the fun summer things. I spend my days indoors. BLAH! Oh well, it's life. Anyways, I don't really want to blog about my infection and the huge hole on the side of my body.

So onto the gelato story. Now, it doesn't seem as good of a story as it was. Probably since it has been awhile. And you probably needed to be there for it really to be funny. But it was one of those Tasha Moments that I just want to share. So Em and I want to get some yummy gelato. We get to the place and there are many wonderful flavors. I am having a hard time deciding when the Gelato Dude asks me if I want to sample the Chocolate Orange. Without hesitation I said yes. So he gives me a tiny tester spoon full of the heavenly Chocolate Orange. I now know that is the kind I want. After Em finally decides on her flavor our helper is now Gelato Girl instead of Dude. Not important really, just trying to paint the picture. So she is scooping up my "more than I needed" scoop of Chocolate Orange. (I'm going to keep saying it so you will try it). And I have this tester spoon still in my hand. Thinking I don't want to hold it anymore I look for a trash. I see this bowl on the glass of spoons and drop my tester spoon inside. I did think to myself "hmm, those spoons are much bigger than my baby tester spoon". But Gelato Girl was handing me my Chocolate Orange and I didn't care about anything else. Yes, she was watching me this whole time. Then when I had my delicious Chocolate Orange in my hand I was like "huh I need a spoon". So I turn back to the glass and see the bowl of the big spoons. It was then that I realized I dropped my gross used tester spoon in the bowl of clean spoons. And the Gelato Girl watched me the whole time and didn't say anything. What did I do? I just got a big spoon and left my tester spoon in the bowl. Pretty horrible? Maybe. But I didn't know what else to do. I guess I could have fished out my used tester spoon from the bottom of the bowl, but I didn't. When I told Em on the way to the car she could barely handle it she was laughing so hard. But oh well. These things happen. Mostly, the moral of the story is I love gelato. And Chocolate Orange is very good.
