The sorbet looks interesting. Looks like it was a fun way to spend an evening!
I've been waiting for this recipe!...now, I have to try it...I wonder who has an ice cream thingy I can borrow....

Hey Marcela...the beautiful part about this...you don't need an ice cream machine!! You can just freeze it in a glass bowl or a stainless steel one!! Enjoy!
Glad to hear you can just freeze this, as our ice cream maker was sadly drowned in a flood at our former house (which is why it is our former house) -- meaning, when you live on a river, don't store things in the basement.
But this looks great... I love combining herbs with fruits -- it gives such depth to the sweetness.
Thanks for visiting That Old House!

Yum! I never would have thought of putting that together. Your pictures are so fun with your music! Blessings to you.
That looks divine. The perfect summer treat! Thanks so much for stopping by my blog. Have a great weekend!
OH my goodness....how refreshing...I'll be right up!
Blessings...
Oh. does this look good!! The classes look like fun too! ;-)
When you say "rose geraniums", are you talking about a type of geranium or the color of one. I don't want to use something inedible, but then again, most of my cooking is!

I'm not really a huge fan of flower-y scents in my food, but it does seem like a fun class. And the color of the sorbet is gorgeous!
That looks a lot of fun! Sorry I haven't been here for a while, we've been so busy and I'm just catching up on my blog reading. Great to get here to visit now though :)
