We learned the Odgen Nash poem Purple Cow:
"I've never seen a purple cow.
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you anyhow,
I'd rather SEE than BE one!"
So we made delicious purple cows!
Easy peasy....equal parts grape juice to vanilla ice cream...MMMMM!!!!!
Here we are enjoying our Purple Cows...
