I once made a ruby grapefruit sorbet. It was very good. I was able to
get away with small servings of it.  It was pretty easy to make.All I
had to do was make some simple syrup, cool it and then mix it with some
red grapefruit juice and into the ice cream maker.

It sounds excellent. In my old age, I started appreciating bitter melon
and grapefruit. Bitter melon is supposed to lower blood sugar levels.
Well, that's what the Chinese say. I guess I'd rather eat bitter melon
than bitter grapefruit.

Anna, a former member of the group, spoke about bitter melon in a

food tradition that she never liked.

I can understand that people eat bitter melon for real or perceived
medical reasons, for instance when they have diabetes. But it doesn't
taste better than a bunch of ground-up headache pills.

I eat bitter melon because of the taste, not because it'll make me
healthy. It doesn't matter much if people can't comprehend that. I'd eat
it more but it's 5 bucks a pound.
