Orange-Mango Sorbet

by

We have an ice cream maker, which makes this pretty simple. Put all ingerdients in and run it until it’s done. I’m sure freshly juiced tangerines would be even better, but our version made with half a can of orange-mango juice from concentrate was quite delicious!

INGREDIENTS
3 cups fresh juice from tangerines or manderine oranges (or: half a can of frozen juice concentrate made into 3 cups of juice)
3 Tbsp lemon juice
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp corn syrup (optional)
(Original recipe found here)

DIRECTIONS
1. Put half a can of juice concentrate into 4-cup size pyrex measuring cup. 2. Add water to the 3 cup line and mix. 3. add other ingredients and mix. 4. Pour into ice cream maker and run until done. 25-30 mins. 5. Done. Enjoy.

Michael’s Birthday

by

A few years back, Mike and I made an amazing German Chocolate Cake for Michael’s birthday, from Scratch. It took 3-4 hours of work, for both of us together, to complete. This is a cheat version of that cake. This time I got a box mix for the cake, but I made the filling and frosting from the crazy complicated version. It came out lovely, and a couple people flattered me by saying they thought it was from a professional bakery.

It was a great little dinner party, everyone had fun, especially Michael.
