There’s a charming ice cream and sorbet shop in Paris, on the Ile Saint Louis near Notre Dame, called Berthillon. They make THE most wicked ice cream and sorbets. Walking in, you’re immediately transfixed by the vibrant rainbow of flavorful colors flirting with your eyes. Your mouth is literally mouth-watering before you even get to taste them. The tongue-tingling smack that hits your mouth from their lemon sorbet is like a volcanic eruption of sweet, pucker, and freshness. If ever there’s a “wow” factor in ice cream and sorbet, they’ve nailed it!
I’m of the generation of Jacqueline Kennedy, tea parties, and handwritten thank you notes. As a little girl, my mother sat me at the kitchen table with a notecard and pen, and I wasn’t allowed to get up until I had crafted a thank you note—free from errors, of course—to Aunt Nikki for my $20 birthday check. It felt like a “don’t get up from the table until you have eaten all your vegetables” mom-instruction.
Lettuce wraps are a favorite around here. They’re easy. They’re fun. And they’re healthy! I’m sure this is one of those recipes your entire family will enjoy for a casual weeknight meal.
