Gelato Therapy

I'm all for healthy eating, but every now and then the human spirit must be fed a bit of extravagance. Today we made a trip down to Powell’s for a bit of gelato therapy. Just a small cup of tropical (pineapple and coconut) and burgundy cherry gelato. It sure was good! Every time I eat gelato, I am carried back to the Piazza della Signoria in Florence where I had my very first gelato. Just cattycorner across the piazza from the David replica is a very fine gelato shop with an amazing frozen mango confection. Then down the street going towards the Duomo is an even larger shop where each of the gelato trays is topped with a decorative piece of fruit. Gelato is health food – health food for the soul.
