So much for Snow Cream!

So much for snow cream!! By that I don't mean, "There is so MUCH SNOW for snow cream". No. I mean, "Well, that didn't work!" I've never had snow cream before, and Jack hasn't either, SO I decided that we should try it! I set out a bowl last night and excitedly collected it this morning. As I didn't have any evaporated milk in the house, I found a recipe using sugar, vanilla, and milk. Perfect. I had ALL of those items! So here it goes.....

                 Snow: Check, Sugar: check, Vanilla: Check, Milk: Check

 

I proceeded to pour in the sugar.

Now the vanilla (this is the one time it's okay to eat discolored snow!)

  Stir...

Add the milk until the desired consistency.

Stir again until well mixed.

Mmm...and then I tried it. Apparently I wasn't using my noggin because vanilla has....

Yes, that's right. 35% alcohol...since it doesn't bake out of it...probably shouldn't give that to my one year old! Perhaps if my proportions had been better, then I could have eaten some! So much for Snow Cream!

Oh well, guess that means that I'll just have to have a brownie for breakfast instead!

I almost forgot...Here is my helper! The drawer was apparently MUCH more interesting than making the snow cream!
