Hey guys. How was your weekend? Obviously I was laying low. The most exciting part was that Pete went and picked up a little scooter for me. Then the girls decorated it with a bunch of bows.

White Peach Rose Sorbet

As silly as it is- I have to admit that when we took it to the grocery store on Sunday (so I could get out of the house) I could like work up a little speed in the aisles and it was fun- like I was grinning when no one could see me. It felt like being a kid.

White Peach Rose Sorbet

Also the scooter let me make this for about the 10th time for dinner on Saturday. Still love it and everyone that eats it loves it too. My other highlight was watching funny movies on Sunday (to the tune of the 40 Year Old Virgin). My doctor said my homework is to watch funny movies so I don’t get depressed. I can’t tell if that is depressing advice in itself!? I mean, I wasn’t planning to get depressed? I’m just planning to ignore the fact that I can’t walk and really start paying attention in about a month.

White Peach Rose Sorbet

In the mean time I am just reading a lot. Oh and watching stupid movies- any favorites that I have to watch?? Also- thank goodness, I have had lots of work to do which keeps me busy. And some of that delicious work has been nibbling spoonfuls of this delicious sorbet that I made last weekend.

White Peach Rose Sorbet

The subtle sweet flavors of the peach and the rose are so lovely together and the pale pink color is just so, so pretty. My little girls went nuts for it and it’s especially pretty if you sprinkle some fresh rose petals on top (they are edible). I hope you love this sweet and easy recipe!
