yes, our gelato cups are kissing

Today I helped Marcus and his friend Christine take photographs of a tub prop that Marcus will be using in the next two performances.  It was kind of amazing to see a tub choreographed in a designated space.  It looked so other worldly and it occurred to me that the tub looked like a portal somehow when set up in that way.  Christine envisioned the whole thing beautifully–a rusted tub set against lush green and brittle twigs.  Without seeing the prints I already know they are gorgeous.

I’ve used this word entirely too much today but the process felt vaguely magical and when things are magical one should partake in the eating of something indulgent, something like gelato.  Marcus took me to Bulgarini where we proceeded to systematically sample all the flavors, our fists full of tasting spoons.  Like my other ice cream favorite Scoops, Bulgarini has exciting flavors.  The most exciting was a ricotta and parsley flavored savory gelato which Marcus likened to alfredo sauce.  In the end we settled on more conventional but nevertheless exciting flavors of blood orange, pomegranate, lemon crema, mango, and cantaloupe. Later in the evening Candice mentioned that they also make a red pepper strawberry which sounds equally enticing.
