Long years without ice cream

Solo éramos yo y el helado en esos sueños.

3 long years without ice cream,
just imagine.
Back then ice cream was my 2nd love, after gymnastics.
Ah, the 90s, hard times.

My mother was a divorcee with 2 children who found herself in the middle of the economic crisis without a workplace and was too proud to ask for help because she knew that to show so poorly meant social stigma and social stigma is no help.

3 long years without ice cream.
The first year was tremendous.
My body was hurting from the desire.
I used to spend lots of time dreaming about eating ice cream.
It was just me and the ice cream
in those dreams.

To resist summer salivation while children enjoyed their ice cream outdoor
I have applied the Nastratin Hogea method.


Nastratin was a comical character specialized in satisfying his hunger just by sniffing the food.

By using this method,
the strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla great smells traveled
from the children eating ice cream nearby to the observer and
could transform into taste
via imagination.

In time the olfactory receptors developed
and with the food processing information added
recreating recipes once smelled
it´s easy.
