WINTER WONDERLAND
Another major snowstorm this weekend. I love it! Quiet snowfall, warm house, food to warm not only the body but the soul. Comfort food. I remember when i was a child we would stay outside until our toes froze. Our coats and several layers of clothing would be soaked. Our feet like little ice cubes. Snowmen, snowball fights, snow forts anything we could imagine we made. My Grandmother would say "if you're coming in you're staying in." So we stayed out until we could not bend arms or legs because our coats were frozen. In the house was a warm kitchen, a stove to warm our frozen bodies and snowcream. My Grandmother makes the best snowcream! Cold, creamy, sweet, and a wonderful vanilla flavor. I have made several batches! Snowcream is one family tradition all of us really enjoy. The waiting for the snow, evaporated milk, sugar and lots of vanilla to blend together is hard. However its worth the wait. Snowcream was consumed quickly, brain freeze and all.
