This is lovely, and so delicious, I bet! Right now I have three different home-made sorbets in my freezer (peach, kiwi, and plum-ginger) and I'd still like to give this one a whirl!

The convenience of hopping off the train after work to buy dinner is fantastic. I like this new market, even though it’s small.

Home-made ice cream (whether custard based or Philadelphia style), sorbet, gelato, sherbet, frozen yoghurt are some of the greatest home-made treats. Easy - REALLY, it is!, flavorful, fresh. You control the flavors, the sugar and: no junky additives! It's such a great year for peaches too. I have been making Philadelphia-style peach ice-cream by the gallon for clients' parties (they always rave about it!) and white peach sorbet by the quart for home. I use yellow peaches for the ice-cream (better acidity, i.e. better balance with the cream) and white/rosy peaches for the sorbet - sweeter, therefore making the sorbet creamier in feel without having any fat whatsoever. Enjoy your ice-cream maker. Way to go, Colleen! Home-made ice cream (whether custard based or Philadelphia style), sorbet, gelato, sherbet, frozen yoghurt are some of the greatest home-made treats.

I noticed they had a nice selection of berries, if that's the same one I'm thinking of. @ Ramona - Is Cameron’s the one on the back side of the fountain, who’ve had squash blossoms?

And yes, ideally the recipe will feature something that's in peak season right now, but you certainly have that covered in the recipes you've posted recently! @ Jill - Oh yeah, watermelon (”wa-wa-melly”) is a huge favorite here too!

The Amish farmers at the North Beach market were hit with a huge thunderstorm recently that wiped out part of their barn and a lot of their corn and tomatoes. That's got to be so frustrating for the farmers. @ MamaBird - Yes, it's a great spot to visit. They were running the grindstone when we were there even though it wasn't an actual milling day. The toddler was enchanted enough by the big water wheel. And they have picnic tables out back for lunch. @ Sylvie - Well, Wye Mills is a little more than 100 miles from you, but the grains are donated by local (Eastern Shore) farms, so it is truly local. I was expecting it to just be the same midwest grains found in the grocery store, so was blown away to find out it was actually local and organic. Definitely worth a stop if you ever head over to the Md/De shore. @ Tiffany - Thanks! @ Jill - That’s too bad about your CSA’s corn.

I was at West End Sunday, but they must have sold out of the purple tomatillos by the time I got to Norma's. I'll have to look through my recipes to see if I have something to share. . . I assume it needs to be August appropriate! It sounds like you had quite the local eating week!
