LINK: I'm Totally Famous

I promise I am going to start posting real posts up again very soon ... tonight, even. It's been an overwhelming several days, workwise and it's hard to get into "foodwriting mode."

So instead, I'm tiding you over with a link to Pat Saperstein's review of the Black Dahlia flavors at Scoops .

Why? Because there's a secret hidden shout out to me in it. In the picture of the Scoops flavor suggestions at the top of the review, you can see, smack dab in the center in my fantastic handwriting, the flavor suggestions that my friend and I came up with: French Toast, and Apple Brown Betty. You know that those would be good. And isn't Apple Brown Betty an awesome name, for anything? It deserves to have a gelato made out of it. It's only a hop skip and a jump from the "brown bread" flavor that Mr. Kim currently makes.

I feel like a little part of me will now live forever. My flavor suggestion is pictured on the internets.

Take it a step further. Make those two flavors yourself and then invite us over to taste!

Come up with a good way to make "French Toast" flavor gelato and you're on. I could probably come up with apple brown betty on my own.

RESTAURANT: Ristorante Belvedere, Monterosso al Mare, Italy

We started off our second-to-last day in the Cinque Terre by taking the train to Vernazza for breakfast: There was supposed to be a market that day, but since the weather was threatening, there were only a few meager stalls, mostly selling non-food items. We had our breakfast and walked around the village a bit. Vernazza used to have a river flowing all the way through it, but now the river has been shunted underground at a certain point. If you walk to the top of town you can see it, along with some ducks and geese that hang out there to get fed by whoever comes along. J. and I then went to sit and have an espresso and wait for the train to Corniglia, the only town we hadn't yet visited. Corniglia is home to the local nude beach (which we skipped) and is the highest of the towns, elevation-wise. We had to walk up a buttload of steps to get there. Look at me go: That's actually me going down (a lot faster than I came up), but I did come up them as well. There is a bus that ta...

INFO: How to Dry Tomatoes

It's the end of summer and tomatoes are everywhere. Lovely round red tomatoes and multi-colored lumpy misshapen heirloom tomatoes and cute little cherry and grape tomatoes and oblong, flavorful roma tomatoes. And along with the tomatoes, tomato recipes abound. Capreses and salads and sauces and sandwiches--it seems impossible sometimes to find a dish that DOESN'T have tomatoes in some form. So what's a girl to do when tomatoes are everywhere and ... she hates tomatoes? Why, dry the tomatoes of course! Dried tomatoes are so very different than fresh tomatoes. So different as to be a different fruit altogether. And I like dried tomatoes. Dried tomatoes are sweeter and that green flavor I don't like so much seems to get baked right out, replaced by a rich warmth that is much tastier to my palate. Also the chewy, meaty texture is more pleasing to me than the weird firm-yet-squishy texture of even a tomato grown with all the tender loving care of its farmer. Generally I purc...
