Snow Ice Cream
It has been snowing for the last couple of days. Snowing a lot!
Yesterday I braved the elements and went into the office, but was smart enough to bring my work laptop home with me so I didn’t have to worry about it today…I’m up against a Friday deadline, so a non-working snowday was NOT an option.
It snowed almost all day long. The boys went out and pelted each other with snowballs for a while, and Paul got a hankering for some ice cream. Really – ice cream! It’s snowing big, fluffy white flakes. I think hot chocolate and Paul thinks ice cream. He apparently has always been fascinated with the idea of snow ice cream and today was the day!
We carefully filled a bowl with clean snow, made the base and folded in the snow.
Wanna know something funny? It tasted JUST LIKE REAL ICE CREAM!
Who knew? (Besides Laura Ingalls, of course)
