Foodie fridays: mint chocolate chip milkshakes
Oh, hey there!
Could you hold on for like two seconds? “our milk shake brings all the boys to the yard, and there like, Its better than yours. Damn right its better than yours, we can teach you, but we have to charge…” And…we're back. Sorry about that. Every time we hear the word milkshake, We break down and start singing that milkshake song! Come on, you know you do it, too! We swear we won’t tell. It will be our little secret. Scouts Honor. Thankfully, we won’t be shooting rap video today because our “milkshakes” would have a hard time bring the boys to the yard if ya know what we're saying? Today we thought we would keep things playground PG because this milkshake recipe is near and dear to our heart.
Back in the 5th grade, we would have show and tell every other month. We remember for one show and tell we taught our classmates how to do the waltz. Totes true. Which, now that we think about it, we had no classical ballroom training. We figured since we were a jazz dancer that performed at local recitals, then that certified us as a professional. Wishful thinking? Probably. Anyways, we will state for the record that the waltz was a huge success. But! Our biggest show and tell success was definitely teaching the class how to milkshakes at home. We remember toting a huge ass blender to school and asking the cafeteria lady to keep the ice cream cold for us until show time. When it was our turn to present, we explained to everyone that milkshakes are epic…blah, blah. They are simple to mix…. blah, blah. Only cool kids make milkshakes…. blah, blah (just kidding). We scooped out the ice cream and placed some into the blender. Poured the milk in, placed the lid on (key) and pressed go!
Then, ever so slowly, we poured the milkshake concoction into glasses for everyone. People went bananas! We were immediately voted class president and most popular. Okay, not exactly, but we did eventually run for student council in high school. Does that count? Makes these milkshakes and you’ll be famous. Or at least bring boys to your yard.
