Research proposal

INTRODUCTION
Hellooo. My name is Elysse, and I am the world's reigning ice-cream queen.

PURPOSE OF RESEARCH
I am going to use this blog to bore my dear readers with details of every single ice cream cone I eat over the next year of living in Buenos Aires. Buenos Aires has the best ice cream in the world. But besides boring you with the inane details of my less-than-interesting life, I am going to use this blog as RESEARCH because I am going to open my own ice cream shop when I go back home to Toronto.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
I was originally thinking that as part of my research, I would try to eat an ice cream cone from every single ice cream shop in Buenos Aires. However, my friend Christine quickly pointed out that if I ate that much ice cream, not only would it take me longer than a year to try every ice cream shop in this city of many million people, but I would be far too fat to fit on the plane to go home. I have since scratched that idea off the list because I don't want to stay here forever.

Instead, I will take pictures of my many ice cream treats and post them here with my insightful commentary and analysis of each cone that I gobble up. I promise to post as frequently as possible, starting today with the leftover quarter kilo of ice cream in my freezer (melon, lemon, bitter chocolate in an environmentally unfriendly styrofoam container).
