I've been told by my fans (primarily my wife and two kids) that my Banana milkshake is "totally awesome". And while I would certainly like to pride myself on this culinary delight, I can't really take the credit for it. I got the recipe from my wife's grandmother by way of my 8 year old son. You see, he asked me to make him and his sister a banana milkshake "like gramma makes them" on one decidely hot CA day. A day where it actually hit 105 in the partial shade. I thought it was a splendid idea but had no idea how to make them like "gramma" so I asked him, "Just how does Gramma make them?" Which he replied with a seriously perplexed look on his face, "With bananas, duh!" How stupid of me.. of COURSE... BANANAS go in banana milkshakes.. it amazes me at how simple the universe can be at times. We preceded to discuss how to properly make this milkshake to Gramma's specifications and decided on the following procedures:
- 1 banana per person (minus the peel)
- 2 scoops per person of Breyer's Natural Vanilla (the vanilla beans are essential!!)
- 1/2 cup milk per person (more or less depending on how thick you want it)
Blend to your heart's content but I have to warn you. It MUST be Breyer's Natural vanilla. I accidentally used normal vanilla and was meet with great disdain for changing the recipe. And remember if its not Breyer's is not ice cream.*
*This is not a paid advertisement for Breyers, in fact you don't have to use Breyers but Gramma does and Gramma's typically know their shit about food. Just make sure its Natural Vanilla with the vanilla bean specks.

And if I make one for you, I'll be making them for everyone.. dah.. alright, I'll make you one. But the rest of you, will have to make your own or find a way for me to ship it to you. :P
Hmm, Milkshake shipping methods... I will get right on that. ....blueberries.....
Now you'll have to get a juicer and make carrot juice. You'd be amazed at how good creamed vegetables can be with a little citrus or apple mixed in.
I'll have my daughter get on this one once the kitchen's finished. This may never happen.
Amen on the Breyers. It's the only ice cream.
Glad you got my back Strude. I'm just glad its not one of those things they don't sell when you cross the rockies.
