Winter fun yields tasty dessert
If any parent is looking for a good way to get their kids out of the house during the tail-end of winter, try this idea I found — make ice cream with them in this simple way that requires no specialized equipment. Simply put the ingredients in a small tin can. Then slide the small can into a larger tin can. Pack the space between the two cans with alternating layers of snow and salt. Then, close the bigger can air-tight.
Have your children roll the can back and forth in the snow; and voila! Ice cream forms in the small can in about 45 minutes. It's due to a simple chemical reaction catalyzed by the layer of snow and salt between the cans.
Although its a fun activity, I’m not sure I could get my teenagers to do this effectively however, as they are likely to have one hand on their iPod and the other on the can — but we will see.
