Daisy, Daisy...



While I still have the greatest enthusiasm for this mission, I am starting to think that Hal wasn't the only machine capable of cunning and destruction.

First of all, I didn't realize that my Gelato maker could also make cottage cheese. That is, until I caught a glimpse of my ass in the mirror.

And lately, I've been hearing a soft, hypnotic voice from the kitchen while I try to sleep at night, whispering "try fig with chocolate shavings" and "we're getting low on pomegranate juice" and "throw out those vegetables."

I finally had to admit that my Gelato maker is possessed.

I couldn't face her, so I snuck into the kitchen in the middle of the night, threw a towel over the she-devil and pulled the plug, before she could burst into whiny choruses of Daisy, Daisy. It was pathetic... but banishment to the basement was the only solution.

So I've replaced one Instrument of the Devil with another.


Right in front of the TV. We'll see if this lasts the week.

But I have sworn off Gelato... until May. I'll be in New York around Victoria Day, and I expect to spend most of my time here...


Yup. The wondrous Gelato palace of Italy, GROM, has expanded to the US and has 3 stores in Manhattan. One is in Greenwich Village, and another is near Columbus Circle. I'm checking to see if they rent rooms.
