A great friend of mine gave me this recipe.  It is for a VERY CHEAP and VERY EASY homemade ice cream.   All you need is:

1 can of Sweetened Condensed milk

1 tsp. of vanilla

A Tupperware fix and mix bowl or Thats a bowl ( or any other very large bowl) FULL of .........that's right.....

SNOW!!!!

Okay, I'll admit that when my friend first told me this I thought she might be a little crazy....I mean, we have a lot of dogs, and cats, and squirrels....and who knows what else outside!  But.....we have been getting a TON of snow lately....so I gave it a try.   Of course I made sure to take only the top, fresh layer of snow.  I also made sure it wasn't yellow!  Anyways....you add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla on top of the snow.  Then you mix it with more of a chopping motion than a stirring motion.  WOW!  It was ready in about 2 minutes and it was the best vanilla ice cream that I had ever had!  It made enough for the 8 of us to all have some.  Okay....we would have liked a little more....but we all had enough really.  It only cost $1.29....or whatever the sweetened condensed milk cost (I buy mine at Aldis).  So there you go.  Cheap ice cream....if you don't mind only eating it in the winter!
