Snow Cream

Snow cream

When it snowed several inches back home in the suburbs of Denver, we would go outside, get a big bowl of snow and make snow cream.

Sometimes, we would just sprinkle jello powder on it, other times we would really make snow cream.

Snow cream:
1 bowl of fresh snow (clean, away from streets and pets)
vanilla
sugar
milk

Mix all ingredients, adding milk until it reaches the consistency of ice cream. Eat.

Today, my Hawaiian roommate and I made snow cream and it brought me back to my childhood. Such a simple taste, but so good.

We have a weird but awesome friendship...

My roommate and I were talking about her emotional constipation (her emotions are constipated because she doesn't deal with things).

I said that she should start dealing with smaller things because when something really big happens, she won't be able to deal with it if she doesn't deal with smaller things first.

It is like yoga. People do yoga to stretch and so when they fall they don't get hurt as badly as if they didn't do yoga. Caring about people can hurt like stretching when you are not used to it, but it is worth it. By dealing with small things instead of just ignoring them, you are better able to deal with the large things that would rock your world otherwise.
