Well, I’m officially off my A game. I’m sure part of the reason is because of my arm. I’m in pain. I’m frustrated by the difficulty of daily tasks. And I’m distracted and unfocused.
Normally, I am a person who thrives on routine. I LOVE my routine. And well, I just don’t have that going for me right now.
Case in point: I forgot that Pi Day (March 14 = 3.14) was this week.
Shit. I don’t think I’ve missed a Pi Day celebration in years.
I’m going to try to pull something together in time for the big day. But I don’t know if that’s going to happen. So as a secondary offering, I bring you the recipe for these Boozy St. Patrick’s Day Milkshakes. I hope you’re not mad.
And yes, another blender recipe. Perfect for those of us with a broken arm!
This is certainly one of those recipes that I like to call a “non-recipe”. Because it’s only three ingredients. And all you have to do is just throw them all into your blender and push the “on” button. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. I like to top my adult-only milkshakes with whatever accoutrements I happen to have on hand: sprinkles, chocolate sauce, whipped cream, etc. But all that’s just extra fluff. So skip it. Or go big. Your choice.
Just one last piece of advice before I go: these are dangerously good. It’s very easy to drink a lot of these. And you might find yourself tipsy mid-day (cough, cough). So don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Cheers,
Liz

I’m good with boozy shakes and hey, if they make your arm feel better, right? Oh, Liz. I can imagine the frustration you must feel. I too would be going mad outside of my routine! It’s not like you’re on vacation – sheesh! Sending my best to you in a speedy recovery and wishing I had a glug or or two of this boozy milkshake! 😀 (btw – I can hardly keep up with food holidays so no pie for me this week – but you can bet I’ll be dreaming of summer berries to shove into a pie!)
It’s been so challenging trying to slow myself down. I’m not very good at taking it easy. But the milkshakes did help me relax some! 🙂
You definitely get a pass this year Liz. I’m thinking I’d enjoy these boozy milkshakes better than pie anyway! Feel better!
Ha ha. Thanks, Mary Ann. I’m gonna try to pull something off, but we’ll see. Making pie crust will be challenging with one arm!
