Snow Cream .................

Well, the snow was a non event. This is just dress rehearsal for the real thing. Nonetheless, I posted the photo taken this morning from our deck.

I just a few minutes ago opened an email from Toni, friend and loyal follower of this blog (thanks bunches, Toni). She wondered about a recipe for snow cream. I am embarrassed to say I have never had snow cream, other than the Mayfield Farms kind. Just asked Ronnie if he had snow cream when he was little and he seemed to remember a lot of talk about it, but no actual snow cream.

A quick internet search does reveal a simple recipe that I will be happy to try just as soon as my snow gets here.

Snow Cream

1 cup snow
1/2 cup whipping cream or half and half
1 Tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix cream, sugar and vanilla well. Slowly add snow to desired consistency. Eat and enjoy!
You might want to try some other flavorings: cinnamon, butterscotch, almond or rum.

Supper tonight was super easy. I love hot dogs, we just don't have them very often.

1 1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs

2 cups milk
1 1/4 cups water
2 (3 1/2 ounce) boxes instant lemon pudding mix (4 serving size)
1/3 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350°.
Spray a 9 x 13-inch pan with Pam.

Prepare cake mix as directed on package.
Pour batter into prepared pan.

Pour milk and water into a large bowl. Add dry pudding mixes and granulated sugar.
Beat with a wire whisk until well blended.
Pour over cake batter in pan.
Place pan on baking sheet and bake approximately 55 minutes - 1 hour.

Cool in pan 20 minutes. (Mixture will thicken slightly as it cools).

It is so good, similar to chocolate pudding cake except with lemon. Yummmm.

Until tomorrow.......
