ICE CREAM, IN WINTER?
     If you cant beat 'em join 'em.  With temperatures below zero and the winds howling staying close to the fire and inside was what was on my mind. Then it hit. I want ice cream, I realized it was a little crazy to hop in the car and bust drifts to run to the store for some. 

     I remembered being stuck in a blizzard in Connecticut while attending Culinary School. The solution is pretty simple. You will need 1 large bowl and a spoon.

     Combine 1 Can (14oz) Condensed Sweetened Milk and 1 Heavy Teaspoon Vanilla. Stir in about 8 Cups of snow and Viola'. This is a great base to add chocolate chunks, peanut butter, dried fruits or nuts or any thing you might be craving. Better still drop a scoop in warm cider with honey for a winter apple pie treat.
