mmmm.. insomnia and enjoying memories of gelato
I Scream
for delicious homemade, gourmet ice cream created by Kellen Bradford of Klara J’s Artisan Confections.
My favorites of the tasting were the Papaya sorbet, the Pineapple sorbet, Vanilla ice cream [I know, I know: I’m a plain Jane], the Rosewater ice cream [with added chocolate truffle sauce], and the Affogato ice cream. I was pleasantly surprised by the new iced flavors such as the Tomato Sorbet, Cardamom ice cream, and the Honey Basil ice cream: I wish I liked tomatoes, it was the first time I’ve ever tried cardamom anything, and who woulda thunk honey and basil could harmonize? Overall, a great tasting and great time!
