Milkshakes on a Hot Summer Evening

Monday evening it was hot & humid, with the outdoor temperature again hitting the low 90's. But unlike Sunday, when we had delightful breezes blowing off Lake Michigan all day, the outdoor air was as still as the grave. Ugh! I think I lost a quart of fluid during my first 30 minutes home after work! Not fun! And it made me use lots of exclamation points, too!!! I ran the air conditioner for a few hours, which helped immensely, especially after I closed the windows.

Later in the evening I was looking around in the frig for something cold to drink, and realized we had a lot of milk. Which got me thinking... maybe I could make some milkshakes!

Here's my recipe for homemade milkshakes Dave-shakes. They're yummy!

• pour some milk into a blender
• toss in a bunch of ice
• dump in a bunch of sugar
• sprinkle in some ground cinnamon
• add just a dribble of vanilla extract
• cover & blend

Mmm... Tasty!
