Honeydew-Lime Sorbet

Honeydew-Lime Sorbet

Can you believe that the hardest thing about this post was actually my attempt to take photo of the sorbet without it melting before I’m done? With the persistent heat wave, our house gets so hot during the day (even with air-conditioning). Still, I have to say that […]
