La Tosca Gelateria, the scoop.

I always used to think that a sticker on the back window of my car saying "Dogs die in hot baths" would have been funny. A bit like "a condom is for life not just christmas eve"...but funny.

However....this week I have learnt my lesson as to exactly how serious it is to leave things locked inside cars when it is 36 degrees celsius in the heat of the sun, and I shall not make light of it again!

My car is usually full of various stuff for the shop - drink or sugar or serviettes or suchlike and nothing suffers from the heat - that can not be fixed. Smarties sometimes, and Nutella can be a bit worse for wear...but this week I thought I deserved a treat and bought a packet of jelly crocodiles for 95cents.

You know the ones....coloured A.D.D inducing pork gelatinous shapes on a white squidgy diabetic backing...

Anyway, I left them in the car all day - and the white bit melted.

I think I can still see the coloured shapes lost in a quagmire of white soup...fighting to get out.

I don't know what to do.

I tried freezing them today and sawing chunks off, but that was not very successful.

Maybe I could melt them again then spoon it into an ice cube tray...I'll let you know if it works.
