Authentic Italian gelato, on the other hand, is produced fresh practically every day in relatively small quantities, is sold directly to the public, and is available in a large number of flavors – usually based on fresh ingredients that make the gelato creamy and colorful. Ice cream is made in large industrial batches, uses ingredients designed for lengthy storage, has limited flavors, and is stocked for sale in supermarkets. Consequently, gelato provides a greater flavor experience because there is less fat that coats the taste buds, more flavor per spoonful (due to lower quantity of air), and the taste buds are more alive since the temperature is not so cold as to dull their sensitivity. In the meantime, enjoy your bean, which is not as good as our bean, and never will be.Italian gelato contains less fat than ice cream, has less incorporated air, and is served at a higher temperature. But the outpouring of bile from Houston has genuinely surprised me, and given me hope that you may one day amount to something worthy of our rivalry. 1280x800 Image Chicago city USA Frozen Bean Cloud Gate Street Cities Building>. A handful of Houstonians even got that I was poking fun at our own desperate need for prominence.Īs a certified hater, I thought I’d never find as chippy a city as Chicago. Check out this fantastic collection of Chicago Bean wallpapers. But I am grateful for all the new enemies I made on Twitter, and all of the mean emails I got - even your temperate, good-natured ones.
It doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. I got into this hoping to score a luxury trip to Houston with all expenses paid out of the pocket of some local booster. So everyone who wants to live in Houston deserves to do so. I don't suppose that there are any fewer smart, kind, creative people in Houston than anyplace else. And I respect your acknowledgment that Houston has significant room to improve. You know, it's a nice image you paint, especially once you airbrushed out all the McMansions. Select High Pressure for a cook time of ZERO. Lock the lid in place and make sure the valve on top is set to SEALING. Add hot dogs (as little or as many as you like, as long as you stay below the max fill line). In the Instant Pot, pour 1 cup of water into the bottom. It's a pleasure, living in a city like that.Īnd it means that the H-bean, unlike the Chi-bean, will keep getting better.Īny final thoughts? It’s been a pleasure fighting with you. I prefer my hot dogs in the basket and not sitting in the water. And it keeps getting better all the time. Toss briefly to get them evenly coated with the cooking oil. Let it heat up on a medium-high heat until the end of a frozen bean sizzles a little when dipped in. It wouldn’t always have been great, but it’s better now than it used to be. Add a large drizzle (about a tablespoon) of oil to a large skillet, frying pan or cast iron pan. So let me come back to that image from your last note, Kim - the child looking at the Houston bean, and seeing Houston reflected back. It's probably time to bring this to a close.
But every morning as I make my 6-mile commute that takes just 10 minutes, I’m thankful I live here. It’s a fine city three or four months of the year, and I might even return someday to visit. I chose Houston and don’t ever want to return to live in Chicago. Now, fresh with a suntan from a beautiful March day playing in the waves and sand, I have a new perspective.
