Snow Cream

We started getting snow as Chris was leaving for work, and the forecast was calling for up to 5 inches, so I knew the snow would be falling for most of the day. Nelda had mentioned several times that when it snows in Mississippi, they make snow cream. After living in Utah for 4 years, and never trying it, I knew that today needed to be the day we gave it a try. Rachel put a bowl out back, and we collected snow all morning. Things starting shutting down, because of the snow, so the base had an early release. Chris was able to be home by 3:30, so we waited on him to be home to try our creation with us. We added some fresh snow to the bowl, evaporated milk, sugar, and some vanilla, and mixed it up until it was smooth. Wow, was it good. We even added chocolate chips (in my eyes, chocolate chips make everything better). What fun we had making this yummy treat from something falling from the sky. We enjoyed the rest of the night at home because Upward practices were canceled due to "bad weather." We are learning quickly that winters here are very different than in Utah.
