Would you eat snow? This became the question of the day here at Stonewall Kitchen. Snow, it's all anyone has been talking about. How much there is, how hard it is to drive in, and how much more is on the way. All of this discussion about weather, but I was searching for something new to blog about. Laura, our Marketing Director, suggested maple on snow. In a questioning voice I replied, um...really? Alyce, our Retail Operations Director, was quick to say that she would definitely eat snow. So, I decided to whip some up for her. I went outside the photo studio, climbed over a snow bank (good thing I wore my boots), and scooped up a big bowl of fresh snow. I put some in a cup, topped it off with our maple syrup and brought it to Alyce. Sure enough, she ate it! No double dog dare required. She even convinced Michelle, Retail Operation Specialist, to try some too. I have to admit that I was skeptical. But you know what? When I saw the other cup of snow and pitcher of maple (from the photo above) just sitting here I decided to try it. I drizzled some maple on top and had a bite. I have to say, it was quite good! So, will you be eating some snow? We've decided that it would be good with
maple or any of our flavored syrups. What a great use for those cone shaped cups next to our water cooler! It is also a great idea if you need a fun activity to try with the kids this weekend.
Looking to kick it up a notch? Try this recipe from our Favorites Cookbook: One Fifty Ate's Maple on Snow. Scoop up one cup fresh clean snow and put it into a bowl. Drizzle 1 tablespoon heavy cream and 2 tablespoons
maple syrup on top and serve, accompanied by a cookie. If you can't avoid winter, eat it!
Just don't share the recipe with Alyce, or she'll be looking for me wondering why I didn't think to bring her the accompanying cookie!
