a meal is NOT a meal without dessert





What is up with Italians calling a cup of fruit a dessert? Maybe this is how they stay so thin or maybe it is because they have consumed so many courses of a delicious filling meal that they don’t feel the need for dessert. I would just assume skip course #2 and get dessert-a real dessert!! My favorite desserts are hot with ice cream on top. Most restaurants as you can imagine didn’t offer that unless I was reading the menu incorrectly, so I would have to use my Southern accent and bat my eyes to ask them to add that yummy gelato. I couldn’t tell if the waiters were fond of me or just plain annoyed. It didn’t matter though the minute that I laid eyes on some of these sweet creations. Here are just a few that we did happen to stumble upon...
