Homemade pineapple-lychee sorbet -- or, Richard Dansky is a Terrible Influence

We have had this 20% off Bed, Bath & Beyond coupon sitting around. I usually ignore them, but in this case we were looking for a better laundry bin solution (to give you some insight into the Exciting Life of the Writer-Game-Designer), so yesterday we got some brunch and headed off to the Pleasantville-mart that is BB&B. Only there were no adequate

Mmm, that sounds yum! And not terribly complicated. I have been highly tempted to get an ice cream maker as of late, in part due to reading David Lebowitz's blog. He has some unusual recipes posted online that sound very intriguing.

By the way, brennye gave me a copy of your book. Thank you for the kind inscription, I really look forward to reading it.

First: glad you got the book! Thank *you* for reading it!

Yeah, I was very surprised at how simple the sorbet recipes are. Apparently to do it properly you're supposed to do a lot of milling and straining, but I kind of like the "chunky" style that resulted from just pureeing.

And thank you for the link! Fascinating stuff. I might have to take absinthe ice cream to work... and homemade blood orange sorbet is going on the list for sure...

This weekend's experiments will include kiwi-raspberry sorbet and white peach sorbet (maybe with a bit of ginger).

Dammit. You and Dansky are gonna make me buy new appliances. This is officially a conspiracy now!
