Snow cream | Snow

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

Snow cream is made by slowly pouring a small amount of sweetened dairy-based liquid (similar to ice cream ingredients) into clean snow. The liquid partially melts the snow and congeals into an easily made ice cream substitute. To make Snow Ice Cream try mixing 5 cups of fresh snow, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup of Half and Half or milk and a dash of salt. Also good with other extracts such as mint, almond, orange or lemon. To make it creamier, try adding a 1/2 a mashed banana.

Another recipe uses sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar and milk. Adding chocolate syrup makes a tasty variation to vanilla snow cream.

Some traditional recipes add a raw egg. The Centers for Disease Control recommends that people avoid eating raw eggs because of the risk of Salmonella.

Snow cream is sometimes improved with the addition of powdered sugar and food coloring.

Snow Foundation | Wishes Snow on

Sunday, May 20th, 2007

The Snow Foundation is a non-profit ogranisation operating in Canberra. It was established to assist those in need in the Canberra community whose needs are not covered by government sources.


History

The Snow Foundation is a response to the long association the Snow family has had with the Canberra region, dating back to 1926 when E.R. Snow, the founders’ grandfather, came to Canberra to establish the Capital’s first general store.

The Foundation is the creation of brothers Terry and George Snow who set it up in 1990 with the aim of helping those individuals and organisations that freely gave their time to help the less fortunate live fulfilling lives.Starting with an initial contribution of $1 million, the Foundation has provided financial help to a diverse range of organisations throughout Canberra and the surrounding region.

In 1997 Terry added a further $500,000 to the Foundation, and in 2005 added a further $1 million to enable it to maintain and set up further activities. Since then, he has given substantive donations to the Foundation, meaning the capital value of the Foundation exceeded $3 million in 1997.

In the 15 years since it was established, The Snow Foundation has reached out to help more than 80 different organisations and individuals. The Foundation does not give ‘blanket’ donations but help with the funding of a specific program/treatment/equipment.
