I've been shopping at this grocery store since we got here. No excuse, really, for me not to have seen it sooner. Sorry it's not the clearest pic, I was trying to be sneaky.
Exactly. People mispronounce it as a rule, but it just shouldn't be hanging up at the fancy grocery in six inch letters! Hope they didn't pay by the letter...
I have a 1994 edition of a Merriam-Webster pocket dictionary that lists sherbet as a drink of sweetened diluted fruit juice & sherbert as a frozen dessert of juice & other ingredients.
I am a woman who loves the internets, coffee, wine, beer, food, her dogs, her baby, her husband, and her readers. The order of that love changes frequently. :)
