MMMM, Milkshakes!

The daughters and I got a hankering for milkshakes last evening.  So, we did what any frugal person would do:  we looked in the freezer, the fridge, and the pantry to see what we had.

We had milk and french vanilla ice cream, but found we were out of chocolate sauce.  Not feeling like whipping up a batch, we decided chocolate shakes were out.  Then I remembered there were frozen strawberries in the chest freezer, strawberries we'd harvested from the garden in June.

Just a few minutes and a little blender work later, we had milkshakes.  For each one it was approximately 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 cup (whole) milk, and 1 scoop french vanilla ice cream.  That's all it took.  Those three ingredients whizzed through the blender for a minute or maybe two (pulsed on the 'blend' setting) turned into some thick and tasty milkshakes.
