I think it's safe to say that the City of Commerce won't be contacting our family to promote the city of Cleveland. There are 1 or 2 or 20 things about Cleveland that we don't really love. I won't bore you with the details. At least not right now. However, some time in the future (when I'm having a bad day) I will probably list one by one everything I hate about Cleveland. (in alphabetical order!) For now, I will give you this- Snow in Cleveland is totally useless! Okay, it may look pretty for a day- but other than that- useless! I happen to be married to an avid snowboarder. Every time we get a heavy snowfall, I get to hear how he wishes that there was somewhere to go snowboarding. (NOT the tubing hills that they like to pass off as a mountain!) So when I saw ice cream, made out of snow, on my friend Kendra's blog we had to try it. I was a little afraid- but we are desperate to do something useful with the snow!
So here it is... FRESH snow, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla. Voila!!! This was something that the girls could do all by themselves- start to finish. They LOVED it! Seriously- how much fun!
We finished it off with cookie crumbs, and chocolate truffles. (found on another friends blog. thanks Meghan) How did I ever find recipes before blogging? All in all- it was pretty successful, and tasted surprisingly good. The girls have a new fave- dubbed, "SNOWSCREAM" and I got to be one of those moms who serves a great dessert with dinner!
