SNOW
Coconut snow creme anyone? I’m trying to come up with a logical way to combat my winter frustration. Because I live near a little-traveled corner of the National Park, I STILL have access to untrodden-snow in area that is as free from harsh chemicals and pesticides as one can approximate in 2014. So, I will use coconut milk instead of heavy cream and dream of a sitting on a Florida beach while writing during the latest bout of snow showers. This next Call wants to bring you to their sunny Florida local for the opening of Camera USA. I can’t wait…
