On the no fun side: having to work today. Six hours. Feh! Also lacking in fun: that queasy feeling when I realize that a piece of paper with some important (altho not irreplacable) information is, at that very moment, finishing up the spin cycle in the pocket of today's jeans. Oooh, I hate when that happens. More fun, thankfully, to be had from the successful completion of the melon sorbet project. Yummy. And tastes much better if you don't let the canteloupe mixture start to spoil in the fridge before running it thru the ice cream freezer. I added some mint simple syrup and a squeeze or two of lime juice but they mostly backgrounded the melon flavor. Well, the mint may linger just a bit in the mouth. All in all, though, I'm pleased with it as a first effort. And pretty simple really, as long as I remember to keep the chilling sleeve in the freezer at all times. Probably I could've done straight fruit puree without even the syrup and that would've just been: cut up fruit, run thru food processor, chill in fridge, use ice cream freezer. Or under 1 hour start to finish. Next up: gelato di riso (which will certainly be way more time consuming). Then maybe try to figure out a sorbet version of the Loco Pops pineapple/chile.
