SHERBET
Semi-circular scoops of cold dessert:
sherbet. Colors: soft orange, yellow
lime, pale green pistachio, purple
raspberry, blueberry. Frozen fruit juices -
mixed with 1 to 3 % milkfat - more would
make it ice cream. Sherbet. Spoon it. Sip it.
Slide it into one’s mouth and all is made
right. Perfect for a kid who just skinned
her knee or is missing her dad off on military
duty. Sherbet: something that soothes the mouth
and the soul when there is a hurt or a missing.
