    We will try out making our first batch of sorbet / sherbet in the new do-dad this weekend.

    But I will need to go shopping for ingredients first .... Any particulary fruit/flavour recommendations, @jugar ?

    @reflectionofme Those treats look really good. Sending you lots of applause for willpower.
    @BMcC9 Am eagerly awaiting the results of your sorbet making. I could happily have ice cream for meals every day.

    Just about anything with mango works amazingly well - put a whole pitted mango through the blender until smooth. Then any other fruit you like with it - strawberries, blueberries, etc. To make the consistency work, you need some simple syrup (water and sugar). I usually put in some lime or lemon zest (very finely grated), sometimes a sprig of fresh rosemary - boil those in the syrup and just keep it in the fridge until you need it. If you don't want the sugar, it seems white wine also keeps it from getting too hard in the freezer! Pears are wonderful too. Just simmer them and then puree, use some nutmeg or cardamom or anything else you like. I went wild on cranberry for a while. Cook in water and sugar, blend them, pour through a strainer and off you go. With lime. With mango - gorgeous colour and super yummy. With blueberries. You can't go wrong! Getting the perfect consistency is not always easy. When it finishes in the machine, it will be like soft-serve. Put it into containers and in the freezer for at least a couple of hours and it will finish freezing. Sometimes you have to let it sit out for 10 minutes or so before serving. Have fun!

    Thrilling Thursday- I am really excited because I have made 16,000 steps+ this week I had a sitting appointment yesterday, super strong winds, now I am going to the dentist for my check up, sitting again I already have 9,000 steps, and it only 11:00am.

    This is fantastic! Your steps are really impressive - I think they should count double if you're walking in the kind of wind we've had today, don't you?

    I need to do that. You know the room in the basement with all the stuff in it? I want to turn that into my workout room, but have to do all the work to empty it first. SOME DAY. I figure I should save that job for when it is really hot out in July and I can't stand it. The basement will be cool and lovely. Of course, I said that last summer...

    Foodie Fridays ... anything and everything food related .... the good, the not-so-good and the downright UGLY!

    JUST PICK ONE (unless you feel like posting more than once, after you come back and respond to someone else .... )

    Recipe(s)

    What mind-games does your IGM get up to when you had to work late and are driving one block over from your former-fave Fast Food joint?

    What in-your-plan YUMMY!! treats do your IGM respond WELL to as a bribe for skipping the drive-through?

    What's a trigger food for you? (something there is no such thing as "just one" and is better to cut out completely for now) - what if anything did you substitute for it?

    What is "something special you CAN control" but will ALWAYS find a way to work into your allotted food plan (like for me, Dark Chocolate Bark Thins .... or other high-ended single-serving chocolate .... ~60 cals per each pre-wrapped ball of yummm, and soooooooo much more worth it than a daily generic vending machine chocolate bar at over 250 calories)
