Welcome to Gaia! ::

When I was working at Cold Stone, we used to make milkshakes. Obviously Cold Stone ice cream would probably make these better, but any old ice cream will do.

Equipment:
For best results you will need: a blender
For Goldie's typical results you will need: a cup of any size (taller tends to be better) and a spoon.

Ingredients:
- Ice cream, any flavor (amount varies)
- Milk (amount varies)
- Mix-ins (approx 1 tbl sp of each that you want, though if your mix-ins aren't soft, I would recommend only doing this with the blender technique)

HERE IS WHAT YOU DO:
1) For whatever the size of your container is, fill it no more than 1/4 full with milk. If you want to be on the safe side, you can always add more milk easier than you can add more ice cream.

2) Next, add as much ice cream as you can to fill it to the top. I seem to recall the blenders we used to have took about six scoops...if you didn't smoosh them down (note: whenever I make this for myself, I usually smoosh the ice cream down). If you DO smoosh it down, you'll know for sure when it's full because the level of milk will be at the same height as the level of ice cream.

3) Add any mix-ins that you so desire. A word of warning here: I once tried to add one of every candy mix-in that we had to see what it was like. It wasn't a good idea. I would recommend trying to go light on the number of mix-ins, but you go ahead and add what you want. It's your milkshake.

4) If you're using a blender, BLEND! Smoothie setting or something similar should work, probably about 90 seconds (depending on just how much ice cream you added and the hardness of your mix-ins). The mixture will blend smoother when it's finished, so that should be an indicator

If you're using a spoon...MIX THAT SUCKER. How long? UNTIL IT'S READY. Again, it's a milkshake. YOU'LL KNOW. Seriously, I do this all the time. It's a great way to just get a glass of milkshake that's way more economical than getting one from a restaurant. Just IMAGINE how many milkshakes you can make with a gallon of milk and a big 'ol tub of ice cream. And how much does that cost you? Probably as much as two large shakes at Cold Stone.

Awww, and I will wear it! On my hand. After gluing little googly eyes to the top of it whee

Oh, I totally will. And there will be pictures heart

I think that this is my new favorite thread!
Why? Because:
1. Milkshakes are involved
2. Sock puppets
3. the taking down of The Legion of Doom

XD

I seriously love you guys! heart

There's never an end, as long as I'm around. >:3
