An Indonesian in Mississippi. Not as catchy as "An Englishman in New York"
Dolcezza Gelato
Actual date: August 13, 2009
Yeah, we were full after eating at Bethesda Crab House. Too full for dessert though? Not a chance. On the way back to the Metro, we swung by Dolcezza Gelato for some… uh… gelato. It was a few blocks away, which gave us a chance to see the sights while letting the crab feast pack down in our stomachs. » Continue Reading…
A slice of deliciousness
Denise baked this peach and blueberry galette before we left for the fireworks show, and it was waiting for us when we got back. A galette is like an open-face pie with a light, flaky crust. Denise says it’s super-easy to make, which makes its tastiness-to-effort ratio off the charts. I believe fruit galettes are considered summer desserts, and lo and behold–it is summer! I definitely don’t mind eating this year round though.

Bop's Favorite--strawberries and chocolate flakes in a frozen custard
What would a birthday dinner be without a proper dessert? Bop’s Frozen Custard did the honors this time. Denise and Sofia shared a Bop’s Favorite, while I got a Katie’s Crunch (Heath bar, butterscotch, and roasted pecans). Yes I ate all of mine alone, although I let Sofia have a taste. Yes, I need to lose weight.
$4.00 for a regular size and $4.50 for a large. Guess which size we picked? For $0.50 more apiece we stretched ours into 2 meals worth of desserts. Not bad. Frozen custard refreezes very nicely and turns into basically the creamiest ice cream you’ve ever had.
You can choose from their selection of concoctions, or you can start with a basic frozen custard and mix-and-match your own creation. We went to the Clinton location, but they have a few locations all over Mississippi. Check out Bops’ Frozen Custard’s website to see what they have to offer and where.
