Melted Snowman Gravy Recipe- Submitted by Lisa in VA
1 C sugar,
2 T flour,
3 T cocoa,
2 C milk
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook on medium heat, stirring
constantly until it begins to thicken somewhat like regular gravy. Cool
slightly and serve warm over biscuits. Top with butter or cool whip if
desired.

leftover gravy in fridge and eat it cold later like pudding. You can also
serve gravy cold over biscuits. (Not good reheated.)

1/4 cup margarine,
one 10 oz package marshmallows,
powdered sugar

Flavored Ice- Submitted by Lisa in VA
Add two or three ice cubes to cup water in a blender. Help children
create "snow" by having them turn the blender on and off until a snow
consistency results. I have found that if I do all the blending first before the children are actually in class it works better. Have the children scoop the "snow" into a paper cup and pour juice concentrate over it. One year I just froze some Hi-C until it was like a slush and had that with the kids.
*****
Potato Snowmen- Submitted by Lisa in VA For 2 snowmen, microwave 3 fairly round red or white potatoes - a small, medium and large potato - until done. (Potatoes can take anywhere from 2 - 5 minutes to microwave, so watch them carefully.)
Cut the potatoes in half and peel them. Place them cut side down on a serving dish to form 2 snowmen. Decorate them like a snowman, you can use pecan halves for feet, a carrot strip for a nose, black olive slices for eyes (and cut in half for a mouth.) This can be done beforehand, then reheated in the microwave right before serving. Before serving, you can decorate the plate with "snow" by putting dabs of sour cream at the feet of the snowmen. Parsley spears make nice Christmas trees, too.

And he melted into a big muddle.
Oh how it really broke my heart
To see him in that old dirt puddle!
And I know this sounds crazy,
But I scooped him up into jars
And made him into snowman gravy!
Just add milk and pour over biscuits,
And when you savor this, you'll see. . .
It doesn't taste as crazy as it is!
