Today I had a date with a former colleague of mine to catch up, network, chat, have fun, whatever you want to call it. We were scheduled to meet at 9:30 this morning at the patisserie downtown. I got there about 10 minutes late, but she wasn't there yet. I ordered, slowly enjoyed my gelato and spiced cider, and then left. Come to find out her boss' best friend had died of cancer that morning, throwing the whole office for a loop. My friend simply forgot in the hubbub that ensued. I, of course, forgave her, and admittedly still very much enjoyed my pineapple gelato, coupled with grapefruit vanilla gelato and hot spiced cider. Even while admitting that getting a hot drink with ice cream makes me weird.

I still haven't been there. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteOoooo. That gelato looks good. I could go for some right now. And the pineapple and grapefruit gelato sound so refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI always do a hot beverage with cold treats! I think it's necessary to maintain your core temp ;-) or so I tell myself!
