Consider this a bribe...
A scoop of gelato (vanilla, hazelnut, fior di latte, caramel, and pistachio pictured here work amazingly well) + a drizzle of the best extra-virgin olive oil you can get your hands on + a pinch of flaky sea salt = unusal sounding but unbelievably good.
Go on. I dare you to taste and not like such a cold treat on 100 degree days (at least where I live). Ponder the odd complexities of simple ingredients and the impending brain freeze while I work on some new posts, fish for my friend's lime curd recipe, bother my genius graphic design friend for the complete re-design and logo, and work on some more food shots like this sexy number above with my photographer pal. In other words: keep reading. I'm back.
*NOTE: I don't blame you if you don't want to read me anymore. But...wasn't that gelato good?
You're back!...and you brought ice cream!
I had almost given up hope...I'm so delighted. And sexy photos, oh yes.
Can't wait.

Yes, it's horribly hot isn't it? But the ice cream photos look great. Welcome back.

Tea—I'm so happy to be back. I never thought I'd miss the blog so much. But I suppose I'm addicted now.
Kalyn—Good to be back. So bloody hot. I don't know how gardeners do it. I say you deserve many a cocktail.
Traca—Thanks for checking in :) I was wondering if anyone bothered to stop by at all, I appreciate the comment!
