After working out today, I decided to treat myself to a gelato. One of the flavors on offer was "marrons glaces," with candied chestnut pieces. I asked for a sample, and then ordered a combination of that and lemon. It was tasty, and now I know something else I like. At some point I may have to try candied chestnuts by themselves, not as a gelato flavor. As a side note, I was amused that they had that one flavor name in French, with everything else in Italian (the Italian for lemon, pear, vanilla, chocolate, and pistachio are a lot closer to the English names than "marron" is to "chestnut").
I had been grumpy about being there by myself this morning, instead of having a trainer session—Emilie has stood me up two Thursdays in a row, and now is going on vacation for another fortnight, and yes, she had reason both times, but it still means I'm not seeing her for a month. But the grumpiness didn't survive the good exercise, much less lunch and gelato.
Also in the small but pleasant, a few nights ago![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude and I were walking in the park and I spotted a muskrat, walking across and path toward the river. We don't see them very often, almost never on land, so that was a treat.
