We took it pretty easy today nursing Paul’s knee back to health but at 5:00 PM the Cabin fever was not to be ignored. We headed to “That’s Amore'” in Sunset Beach for a light dinner and a glass of wine!
Did You Know? Gelato, from the Italian word gelato meaning “frozen”) is Italian ice cream. Gelato is made with a base of milk, cream, and sugar, and flavored with fruit and nut purees and other flavourings. It is generally lower in fat, but higher in sugar, than other styles of ice cream. Gelato typically contains less air and more flavoring than other kinds of frozen desserts, giving it a density and richness that distinguishes it from other ice creams.
In Italy, by law, gelato must have at least 3.5% butterfat.[citation needed] In the United States, there is no legal standard of definition for gelato as there is for ice cream, which must contain at least 10% butterfat. Gelato can be served in any way that ice cream is, including cup, cone, sandwich, cake, pie, or on a stick.
After dinner, we went home to watch a Hallmark move and some Frasier before crashing at midnight!
