"B"iotto's open for dessert

"B"iotto's has its place among the greats like Trader Giotto's, Ming's, Joe's, Jose's, etc.......
Yes, tonight was gelato night!! Who says you have to pay an arm and a leg for great gelato at some hole in the wall place in the highlands.
Ok, let me back up..... This past summer I had the opportunity to get my hands on a White Mountain Ice cream maker. Old school... that's right.... well, except that it now has a loud motor on top that does everything for you so that you will retain all of the calories you just put into your body. Who's counting anyway? Ok, so.. grandmas homemade vanilla ice cream recipe is still #1, but I say that there is a definite new #2. HOMEMADE PISTACHIO GELATO!! Wow! It was so good... I really don't know what to say.... I enjoyed whipping it up with the assistance of Mrs. Biotto. It is sometimes fun to cook with others.

Entering the Blog-o-sphere

Inspiring me today for my first blog was my fluffy sidekick kitty "Paw paws, paw daddy, poh doh's, or otherwise known as Mr. Paws." The inspiration, oh yes.... It seems the previously mentioned pet likes to eat cell phone charger cords. He is an Apple kind of kitty. Only the best right? Iphone cords have a particular flavor and sweetness y0u can't get from any other Nokia or LG.... So two cords in two days and a dead battery... What to do? --- Electrical tape. Nope. Didn't work. Those incisor teeth are just to sharp; must of severed something on the inside. There must be better flavor in the marrow of those cords that Mr. Paws has discovered and can't live without.
I wonder if its like the excitement you get the first time you touch your tongue to a 9v battery? Yes, for some reason once wasn't enough....
