A summertime treat

It's official: Summer has hit Rome. Five minutes under the sun causes terrible sunburns, sweat constantly drips down backs, and no one has the energy or the apetite to eat during the day.

So how do we keep from wasting away?

Gelato (a.k.a. ice cream)! In this hot, Mediterranean weather, cold and creamy gelato is the only appealing thing to eat. Walk into any gelateria (ice cream shop) and pick from any of the numerous piles of delicious flavors. My personal picks include bacio (chocolate and hazelnut), biscotti (cookies), and Nutella.

You can find a gelateria just about anywhere - but they're not all the same. As a general rule, the places with a less colorful selection make their own gelato in-house...and therefore taste better. But I have to warn: Italian gelato is extremely tastey and addictive. My current average is two cones a day!
