Ella's cucumber salad
Ella, age 9, made her own creation last night for dinner: cucumber salad with a Feta cheese dipping center. The cucumbers are drizzled with olive oil and Balsalmic vinegar. She made a beautiful and fancy design of the cucumbers.
She did a fabulous job!!!!

Tangerine tarragon sorbet
I doubt that you would ever guess there is tarragon in this sorbet. This summer while my herbs are fresh I want to find good pairings and make unique ice creams and sorbets. I put Ryan (my official taste tester) to the task of guessing what was in this.
Try it if you dare. Any ideas for oregano or sage?
Recipe for tangerine tarragon sorbet:
3 cups tangerine juice
3/4 cups simple syrup that has been steeped with 1/2 - 1 cup fresh tarragon
1 tsp vanilla
simple syrup
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
Bring to boil or until sugar dissolves
Add 1/2 -1 cupo fresh tarragon
Reduce to lowest heat on stove and let "steep" for at least 15 minutes. I left mine without heat for an hour.
Strain tarragon from syrup.
Add the syrup to the tangerine juice until desired sweetness has been reached...1/2 -3/4 cup
Add vanilla
Let cool or refrigerate
Freeze in ice cream maker
Really delicious

Taking the goats for a walk
Off we went on an outing with the goats. I want them to get used to a leash so when they are bigger (and maybe stronger) I won't lose control over them so I got a harness for a small dog, fit it to Sunflower and attached Sophie's leash. We just hoped that Coco would follow. And yes we met some of my neighbors and yes they did a little weed trimming along the way.
