Day 6.057: In like a lion making ice cream

Our very first March here was very snowy - the last big snowstorm of the year came through overnight before St Patrick's Day.  So we weren't surprised that it snowed overnight - although the amount was at the top-end of what we'd expected.

We watched as the school called for a two-hour delay and then, eventually a full snow-day.  The snow continued to fall.

And so it was that at lunchtime, we decided to do an experiment we've been meaning to try for a few years - snow ice cream.

So, we got bowls of clean fresh snow, added maple syrup (2 tbs), vanilla extract (few drops) and cream (1/3 cup / 80 ml) (we used coconut cream to make it dairy-free), stirred it up, ...

...instant ice cream.  It was good!
