Scent I cannot resist was in the air. Reminds me of the ocean. I drew closer and breathed deep. My eyes marveled at her golden skin. Flecks of gold glinted in the harsh fluorescent light. My tongue caressed her bare skin and I was lost. Exotic flavors filled overwhelmed my taste buds. Whiting, corn meal, salt, pepper, […]

Blue Marble Ice Cream – New York
Walking around the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens I got hot and thirsty. Snack bar had one last container of gelato. I noticed it was made by Blue Marble Ice Cream.
