Would you be willing to share this rhubarb ginger sorbet recipe? It sounds delightful!
I sure would, and it sure is! It's the Chilled Rhubarb Soup recipe from The Last Course: The Desserts of Gramercy Tavern, by Claudia Fleming (Random House, 2001).
I'm new to your blog and am really enjoying it. Your "Five Things" post is inspiring but forces me to acknowledge (once again!) that one of the five bad habits I have is...I'm lazy! Too lazy to think of answers to all these questions, I'm afraid. But keep blogging - I'm enjoying reading your posts.
Thanks for stopping by, Beth! I'm glad you're enjoying it. :-)
