Teta Stella- Classy Lady- Fashionista-One Tough Broad..You have to tip your hat to a lady who could go head to head with anyone...I loved fighting with her when I was younger- as my daughter said to me once ..confrontation is a sport for you-Yes and I learned from the best. I always told Teta, Jackie O had nothing on her. I did not know another woman who drove a sports car , wore italian Leather gloves to drive--how I loved those gloves.

Strawberry Sorbet: Place the sugar and water in a small saucepan, over low heat, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved (about 3-5 minutes). Boil the mixture for one minute then remove from heat. Pour the sugar syrup into a heatproof container, and place in the refrigerator until completely chilled (about an hour or so).  Meanwhile, thaw the frozen strawberries and then place the thawed strawberries in a food processor and process until the strawberries are pureed. Transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and liqueur (if using), and refrigerate until the mixture is thoroughly chilled. (If using fresh strawberries, puree the berries in the food processor, transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and liqueur (if using), and place in the refrigerator until chilled.) Once the simple syrup and pureed strawberries are completely chilled, combine the simple syrup with the pureed strawberries. Transfer the mixture to the chilled container of your ice cream machine and process according to the manufacturer's instructions. Once made, transfer the sorbet to a chilled container and store in the freezer. Note: If you do not have an ice cream machine, then pour the mixture into a 8 inch (20 cm) or 9 inch (23 cm) stainless steel pan (sorbets will freeze faster in stainless steel), cover with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer. When the sorbet is completely frozen (3 to 4 hours), remove from freezer and let stand at room temperature until partially thawed. Transfer the partially thawed sorbet to the food processor, and process to break up the large ice crystals that have formed on the sorbet. (This step is what gives the sorbet its wonderful fluffy texture.) Place the sorbet back into the pan and refreeze for at least three hours, and up to several days. Serves 4. Preparation time 1 hour.

Strawberry Sorbet Recipe:

1/3 cup (80 ml) water

1/3 cup (65 grams) granulated white sugar

2 1/2 cups or 1 pound (454 grams) fresh or frozen unsweetened strawberries

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other liqueur(optional)

Note:  If you taste the sorbet after freezing and find the amount of sugar is not right, adjust the level of sugar by adding a littlesugar syrup (too little sugar in sorbet) or water (too much sugar in sorbet) and then refreeze the sorbet.  The sorbet is not affected by thawing and refreezing.
