I feel a recipe is only a theme, which an intelligent cook can play each time with a variation. — Madame Benoit

We’ve had guests in the Kitchen for the last couple days, and we decided to make milk shakes one evening. Never a bad idea.  I am not going to write down the recipe for said milkshakes because to be honest with you i went a little crazy and i don’t even remember everything i put in them or how much of it i added, but here is a somewhat comprehensive list of the ingredients:

Cookies and cream ice cream
Vanilla bean ice cream
Chambord raspberry liquor
Vanilla paste
Milk
Chocolate chips
Strawberries

These puppies were thick, creamy and wonderful. The only problem is that apparently i got too rambunctious with my wooden spoon when i was trying to encourage the strawberries to dive downward to meet their maker in a whirring of metal efficiency.

Yes there were splinters in the milkshakes. Yes we drank them anyways. Oh well. Next time maybe i won’t be so damn invasive with my prodding instrument of choice.

Ann – I knew i was forgetting something! I also muddled a Vanilla Roiboos teabag in the milk/chambord mixture before adding it to the milkshake.
