There is something in the air this time of year. I’m as restless and a 12 year old girl waiting for summer break so she can go hang out at the community pool. Maybe it’s the impending 3 months of relentless, almost suffocating Los Angeles heat. Maybe I just yearn for the carefree days of summer.

Today, I went to my favorite place to go in the summer: Cold Stone! It was unusually hot today even for us Floridians. I guess that’s why Daddy decided I could have my very own, all natural, raspberry sorbet. And boy was it good!” Hmm…I wonder if any of my other four-legged friends have ever had sorbet…if not - man you’re missing out.

Spiced Pineapple, Coconut Rum Savarin, Vanilla Custard, Passionfruit Coulis, Pineapple Sorbet This was a sugary pineapple bomb. The sauteed buttery pineapple were too sweet for my "aging Asian" taste buds. Somehow the sugary fruit remained firm despite being tooth achingly sweet.

Although summer is more than a month away, I wanted something lighter in tone, mouthfeel, and even in work for Mothers Day–and this was what I did. It was perfect, made for leftovers (a nasty word I need to find a better one for!) and I even ate the last of it tonight with MM on a bench in the open, warm air.

Funny but true…..A friend and I decided to treat ourselves to a really nice dinner at a steak and seafood house. We decided to do the whole nine yards; “Drinks, appetizers and dessert”. We both ordered prime rib as our main course with all the fixings, baked potato, soup and salad.

I have been feeling a bit nostalgic lately and I think it shows in my writing and the inspiration for my recipes... Almonds remind me of my grandfather. I remember him sitting quietly on an aqua-colored stool we had at the bakery while he peeled kilos and kilos of blanched almonds.

Okay, I am going to show off now - some layouts I’ve done with some awesome, versatile kits.  This set of layouts I did utilizing Xandra Martin’s Summer Sorbet kit!  I have posted one layout before from this kit - Kade’s Joy.  Here are two more I did.
