Mixed Review: Well Dressed Food Company's Dark Chocolate Sorbet
I love this sorbet mix. It really is dark, luscious, and intense. It's truly addictive, especially in summer on a hot night. You can get it at Well Dressed Food. Full disclosure: I know the owner/creator of the mix, but I was a fan of it long before. (In fact, it was part of how we met.)
Dinner Tonight: Caldo Verde
I think people who know caldo verde have covered it here: no carrots, no celery, definite use of kale. (But I prefer collard greens, as they're closer to couve galega, the kale used in Portugal.) But I'm very curious: LadyMarmalade, would you be willing to share you your recipe?!?!

Last bite on earth:
Hello, all. I just want to reiterate Carol's point: this soup, which is my mom's, is definitely NOT caldo verde. Caldo verde, which is also included in my cookbook, is quite different. It calls for finely sliced greens, which are stirred into a base of water (or stock) and puréed potatoes and onions. Caldo verde is much more refined and herbaceous than this rustic Azorean version, due to the whisker-thin kale. This soup is what I was weaned on being the child of an immigrant Azorean family!
