Buon Appetito!

Recently Kim at Savvy Southern Style,

had an offer on her blog that I couldn't refuse.

She offered a link to Roba Dolce for free gelato and sorbetto.

All I needed to do was contact them,

display their button on my sidebar for a month,

and write a review, IF I choose.

I was game!

A few days later the box arrived.

I had expected a couple of single serving containers.


Imagine the surprise when I got 5 one-quart(+) containers
in addition to 3 single servings!
Flavors included were Coconut Gelato,
Dark Chocolate Chunk Gelato
Lemon Sorbetto
Mango Sorbetto and
Pistachio Gelato




This kind of goodness needed to be shared.
So last Wednesday when it was my turn to host
my weekly knitting group,
we had a very (un)scientific taste testing!




Such hard work!




But, we labored though all the flavors.

I had everyone rate the flavors 1-5,

with #1 as their most favorite,

#5 as their least.

Then I totaled each flavor's ranking and averaged it.

Here's how the flavors came out for us:

#1 Dark Chocolate Chunk Gelato = Score 2

(This was my personal favorite. It's very rich,

with lots of large chucks of chocolate.)

#2 Coconut Gelato = Score 2.6

#3 Mango Sorbetto = Score 3.2

(My least favorite, but everyone else liked it.)

#4 Lemon Sorbetto = Score 3.8

#5 Pistachio Gelato = Score 4

All the flavors are very intense, as they should be.

The gelatos are creamy and smooth.

The sorbettos were refreshing and we all agreed

would be great in the summer.

Please check out Roba Dolce's web site by clicking

their button on my sidebar.

You'll find lots of info about the company,

how they make their gelato and sorbetto,

what stores in your area might carry it,

and you can even print out a coupon.

Tomorrow I'm going on a retreat

with my knitting buddies.

Every winter we rent a cabin in the mountains

for a few days.

We take our knitting, food, wine

and long-time friendships.

We kick back and have more fun
than you can imagine!

I'll miss you,
but we're old school, which means

no laptops!
