a solution to the abundance of snow.

While listening to the 6 o'clock news as I was microwaving a lovely, nutritious snack of edamame I heard something about using snow to make homemade ice cream. Curious to learn more I googled snow ice cream and came across a Paula Deen recipe to make snow ice cream. I am unsure why a woman who lives in the deep south would ever need or would have had the need to discover such a dessert, but I am willing to put that thought in the back of my head come the next snow day because I will be too busy making homemade ice cream from snow.

Ingredients

• 8 cups snow, or shaved ice
• 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Place snow or shaved ice into a large bowl. Pour condensed milk over and add vanilla. Mix to combine. Serve immediately in bowls.
