Chuck Hinman: SNOW ICE CREAM Short story: A Chuck Hinman extra short story. There will be another on Sunday. But with the slight chance of snow, this story on snow ice cream seemed appropriate. The next earlier Chuck Hinman short story isCAREGIVING 101 -CM As with all front page stories on CM, Click on Headline for full story, with photos, if any By Chuck Hinman (Contact the author at: charles.hinman @sbcglobal.net) Copyright Chuck Hinman; reprinted with author's permission SNOW ICE CREAM Someone at our foursome at the evening meal night before last here at Tallgrass Estates brought up the subject of snow ice cream. We were scheduled to receive a real "norther'" with up to 12 inches of snow! Brrrrrrr! Kids today don't have a clue what you are talking about - this snow ice cream stuff. Too bad, no one at the table questioned what it was. We all knew! As for me, another memory is born and I can recite it in detail as though it happened yesterday. Here goes. . . It's in the middle of winter in Gage County. Nebraska in 1932. The Hinman kids. Bob, age 12' Joy Ann, age 5; and mysef, Chuck, age 10, are just home from school and barged into the kitchen yelling in unison, "Mom, what is there to eat"? It was the middle of January, and it had begun to snow again in the afternoon adding to the snow-pack already on the frozen tundra. "Well, let's see. The snow is fresh, how about some snow ice cream?" Mom said in a cheerful voice. "Yeah" we all yelled in chorus!. Bob grabbed the dish pan and volunteered to bring in a pan of fresh snow as Mom set about mixing up some familiar "egg-nog type mixture". Of course, living on a farm, we had all the ingredients - the eggs and milk. Mom even gave us the choice of having plain vanilla or chocolate snow ice cream! In a jiffy, we each had a bowl heaped with wonderful snow ice cream. "Don't eat it too fast, or you will get a headache" Mom warned! Oh, what memories as I look out my window here at Tallgrass Estates and see the, unusual for this transplanted Cornhusker, - snow drifted on my 3rd floor patio in November, 2006! It made me wish for the makin's for good ol' snow ice cream! This story was posted on 2008-12-20 14:21:52
