Nutella...

is my new favorite thing! (If you can't tell by the picture). It's amazing. I had heard about it before but never bought it or ate it in the states. Italians are pretty creative when it comes to using this stuff in food. Here's a few Nutella items I've tried since I've been here: crepes, filled dougnuts, gelato, cookies, pie, pitas, foccacio, pizza, cannoloni, & meringue sandwiches. And how could I forget-the one and only Chinese place nearby makes Nutella egg rolls and dumplings. Every day I discover something new. When I get home in December, I'm gonna use this incredible chocolate hazelnut spread with all kinds of desserts; Americans won't know what hit them!
