Hey we are back in Prague after a long drive - we got lost - but the kids did get to play in the snow. They were just fun to watch as they played and experienced frozen water! Sarah was very funny to, having got out of the car in excitiment but got back in real quick becasue it was soooo cold. Beau got to experince black ice close up, I had just told them all not to run when, swooooosh bang, WAH! Matt even brought home a snow ball he called Mr Ball after our friend in Oz called 'Ray Ball'. It is now safely stored in the freezer down stairs. I really don't know what he is going to do with it but that's our Matt!!
We had a great time in Berlin, the history and power of the city is incredible, but it doesn't look as if we are moving there anytime soon. Will post a Berlin Photo album soon. Cya.
If the air quality isn't too bad there you could make homemade ice cream out of Mr. Ball. It also might be a little too icy coming out of the freezer, but maybe this recipe can be used when you find Mrs. Ball.
2eggs
1 can evaporated milk
3/4 cups sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
snow [freshly fallen snow is better because it will make a smoother ice cream]
After beating the eggs, add the milk, sugar and vanilla. Then add the snow and mix until the ice cream has a medium thick consistency. If you want, add strawberries or other kinds of berries to add flavor. Eat right after mixing because otherwise the snow will melt.
[oh my! I just found out they captured Saddam Hussein.]
