One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

skydived over lake taupo in new zealand, it was the last jump of the day, a beautiful sunset, with Mt. Doom (from Lord of the Rings fame) in the background. "spectacular" doesnt even begin to describe it.

Teach, Learn, Share

How gelato is different from ice cream:
- ice cream typically has a minimum of 10 percent fat, and gelato has about 5 to 7% (its made with a greater proportion of whole milk to cream)

-ice cream can contain as much as 50 percent air while Gelato contains about 25 to 30 percent air (gelato is churned at a slower speed than ice cream, so it's denser because not as much air is whipped into the mixture)

- ice cream is typically served frozen, but gelato is typically stored and served at a slightly warmer temperature
