a sweet for the sweetie

Oliver has been sick for a couple days. This morning, suspecting serious dehydration, I took him to the doctor. I am happy to report that he did not require IV fluids, was given some helpful medication and now seems to be on the mend.

While we were at the doctor's office, I read to Ollie from an old issue of National Geographic Kids magazine. He spotted this recipe for strawberry sorbet and the idea of something yummy made him excited to try it out. So on the way home, we stopped at the store to pick up the ingredients and I made it as soon as we got home.

Maybe it wasn't the best thing to give him considering his condition, but sometimes you just have to go with the kid's plan. He did not eat the cookie, but I did.

So from the heart biscuit test kitchen, we bring you the best medicine we've found for all that ails ya: Strawberry Sorbet. Not only gorgeous, it really is a wonderful treat.

Thanks to National Geographic for the basic recipe, and thanks very much to Grammy and Grandpa for the magazine subscription!
