I remember the face you made when you tried the kumquats :) might be like Bodger in the snow. Beautiful pound cake the other day-- Ben, the size of the kumquats is so wonderful, I think--and you can eat the peel because the whole fruit is that right size. Making ice cream was the best part of the snow; we should have done that in Charlottesville... Mica, I think you should try again with snow ice cream!

It's weird to eat the peel (which you wouldn't do with an orange), and yet wonderful to pop one in your mouth like a grape or cherry tomato. Love the snow ice cream!

I attempted this in 4th grade, but a friend knocked the bowl of fresh snow over, thus ruining my plans. Every time I see kumquats, I think of you because it was in your kitchen/great room in C'ville that I first had one and said "Man, these are tart." I love that you made snow ice cream.
