Now I don't know when this was from; perhaps 2012?
 Just read and published it today, 7/25/15; but it was from lo-o-o-ong ago.
 I brought these to work for a pot luck.
 The watermelon mojito sorbet was well-liked; the mango froyo not as much.
    I remember Kim So-Che saying that she doesn't like ginger.
    Maybe it was too ginger-y.

..Nothing important today, but made my debut as frozen dessert maker. Wed. night the 13th got the ice cream maker (Cuisinart, Sur la Table) out of the garage after its 5-year rest, made watermelon mojito sorbet: half a medium-sized sandía, cubed; simple syrup {i cup sugar, iii cups H2O,} 1/2 cup rum (boiled out with the syrup, cuz taking to work, natch,) half a lime, squoze, muddled mint {I used melissa/ lemon mint from the yard.} 

Then last night I made froyo: fresh mangos (two,) drained canned pineapple, 3 cups organic 2% yogue strained thru cheesecloth X 2 hours, grated ginger, fresh lime juice, sugar. The froyo was a gorgeous golden color and had a nice, creamy texture after a little thawing. The sorbet got slushy around the edges while still rock hard in the middle, but still delish and refreshing.
Next up: maybe Vietnamese coffee ice cream! Have to get some cardamom.
