I can eat gelato in small amounts, I just don't want to pig out on it.Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-75201709626694552302012-07-17T10:04:59.299-07:002012-07-17T10:04:59.299-07:00Gail, I think what you might want to do is chop th...Gail, I think what you might want to do is chop the thyme and make a light syrup from it, which you would use to sweeten the sorbetto. You might also want to add some lime or lemon, not too much, just enough to give it a little tartness. <br /><br />Sounds like you're having a restful and productive stay-at-home vacation!Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-77543447065871975222012-07-17T10:02:31.885-07:002012-07-17T10:02:31.885-07:00Marla, Green tea, the saffron combo and tulsi sorb...Marla, Green tea, the saffron combo and tulsi sorbetto flavors sound great! I think frankincense might depend a lot on what type was used. Mastic might also be good.Doc Ellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376377441504529063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-59858051154077938942012-07-16T18:52:32.387-07:002012-07-16T18:52:32.387-07:00Those sorbetto deserts sound really good.

I know I will never try to make icecream pr sorbeto at home but I would love to find out a good gelateria in NY that sells some interesting sorbeto... Other than those named " Italian ices" homemade. <br /><br />I seems you had a great time and made lots of friends. Thank you for sharing the story and the pictures.

We always cringe when the Italian restaurant menu says, "gelato," but the waiter says, "ice cream."<br /><br />Are you more tolerant of gelato than ice cream? We have a neighbor who's lactose intolerant.EdCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5453792360015486892.post-25968903780803480122012-07-16T13:30:13.828-07:002012-07-16T13:30:13.828-07:00What a great mini vacation!

Last week I pulled out my grinder/juicer and made some nice sorbet for guests from various frozen fruits I had on hand. Next time I will try using some herbs in the mix. Do you have any suggestions on how to put that thyme sorbetto together? This week I am on a mini vacation of my own while Brad teaches a chamber music camp on Decatur Island in the San Juans. I decided to stay home, work on my musical projects, practice and rest. The parrot is at the bird borders and all is quiet.

Yummy! I can find good vanilla and chocolate here, and I confess I love cherry chip, but other than that, I really miss the European style of ice cream. I tried frankincense tea a while back, but...not so good. Haven't tried labdanum, but tulsi is very nice!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888328097434089820noreply@blogger.com
