i had a dream that i was 300 pounds

no actually i didn't but someone from the barenaked ladies did. and that song popped into my head when i thought, "if i come to america weighing 300 lbs. i'd like my friends to know why." so this is an entry dedicated to the delicious treats in italy that could cause a person to weigh 300 pounds.

#1 GELATO

Oh this tasty treat looks innocent enough. It's just "ice cream" after all, isn't it? I don't know what world people are in when they say gelato=ice cream, but they clearly never made it to Italy.

#2 PANDORO

The bread of gold. It's ridiculous. Really it is. Especially when it has soft chocolate pieces inside. This sweet bread is habit-forming so be careful. And the Bauli brand is my favorite. All the Italian advertising can tell me different but I'll stand my ground.

#3 BACI

I've had my share of Italian kisses. So for me, I have to say this is the second best kiss in the world. Chocolate. Hazelnut. Cute little messages of love in every bite. I swoon over these every time I see them in the grocery store.

#4 NUTELLA

If you've ever asked yourself, "Is there food in heaven?" I answer, "Where else would Nutella come from?!" What doesn't taste better when smothered in Nutella? It makes the world a better place. Regardless of how many calories are in each tablespoon.

i could continue with others, but this will do for now. and these are just the sweets!
