Did I mention I have a new crush? Not Ben and Jerry's "Cherry Garcia" anymore. It is Ciao Bella Gelato--Dulce de Leche. Oh my goodness--$5.19 a pint here, a real luxury. So far I have only tried the Dulce de Leche flavor but I am keeping the Chocolate in my freezer to try soon. You will love it. And you can eat a little and be satisfied...or you can eat the whole pint and commit one of the Seven Deadly Sins...
I finished the greatest novel "Cutting for Stone" by Abraham Verghese. It is amazing. It takes place mostly in Ethiopia and you will come away with an awesome respect for surgeons but... The story line is so unusual and the description of everything so intricate but easy to read and keeps you turning those pages. The author is a professor at Stanford with an impressive medical background but also a writer.
Very interesting! Random House gives a teaser:
"Marion and Shiva Stone are twin brothers born of a secret union between a beautiful Indian nun and a brash British surgeon. Orphaned by their mother’s death and their father’s disappearance, bound together by a preternatural connection and a shared fascination with medicine, the twins come of age as Ethiopia hovers on the brink of revolution. Moving from Addis Ababa to New York City and back again, Cutting for Stone is an unforgettable story of love and betrayal, medicine and ordinary miracles—and two brothers whose fates are forever intertwined.
