Can You Eat It?

Take the Can You Eat It quiz on the TLC site.

I scored 70%, but object to the wording of some of the questions. One possible answer is "maybe", and that's where I went wrong - according to them. It wasn't part of the quiz, but as an example of one of the ambiguous questions would be "Can you eat a rattlesnake?" The answer would be "Yes", but one wouldn't want to eat the fangs or the rattles, would they?

Other than the old joke about not eating yellow snow, this recipe is a joke. If you're in the pristine mountains of Montana, maybe, but I would never make snow ice cream if I was in...say, New Jersey. I wouldn't make it here, either.

I was tempted to make some with our last snowfall, even scooping some up in a large pitcher. Discovering I had no vanilla, I decided it wouldn't be as good as what we used to make as kids (and nuclear testing was still going on, which might explain some of my physical and mental deformities). I forgot to empty the pitcher and the next day the snow had melted, leaving a few pints of cloudy, dirty water.

Besides all that, I'm loathe to trust any recipe from a woman who has wigs made of butter.
