Strawberry (and Chocolate Milkshake) Fields Forever


I am by no means a "food blogger," nor do I intend to become one.  
However, I am thankful that Rob went from setting the stove (electric, no less) on fire while boiling water, to making delicious things mostly in the name of my recovery from the food phobia.  

I trust him, which means I eat the things he makes without serious panic about my allergies.  
It is pretty awesome.

So, while Rob DOES also make lovely actual food-food:


and this has probably saved my life...

 I'm also partial to his desserts.  



We'll start off with the Oreo milkshake.  It was in celebration of the Fourth of July, so we were picturing making it red and blue...  

We'll get to that later. 

 All you need for this is some vanilla ice cream, Oreos, and milk.  
Obviously, the cookies could be replaced just as easily as the other stuff can be replaced with lactose-free varieties.  

I can't even give you exact amounts to use of what, as we just kinda...  

"Whatever.  Blend it."  "More of this?"  "Yeah, sure." 

So much blending...

More blending...

Add more cookies...

AND BLEND.

Forever.

Eventually,  you will have a milkshake that may or may not bring all the boys to your yard.  


As stated before, we experimented in food dye...

It made it kind of pretty?

But didn't really work in the way we were hoping...

So fuck it.  Just stir that up.

Delicious.

And now for my favorite thing he's made so far (and we have strawberries in the house...  Can this happen today?) 

THESE THINGS.

All these photos probably could have used some photoshop, but I'm an honest person, damn it.  This food ain't plastic.

*ahem*

The ingredients you'll need: 
 Cream cheese in either tub or stick form...
 Strawberries...
I prefer my strawberries GMO and bigger than my head.  Feel free to not.
 A metric ass-ton of sugar...
 SPOON
And a plate, if they make it that far.

Once everything but the strawberries are mixed together, you'll have something like this: 

Now for coring!  Just cut out those little strawberry innards. 

Then fill with the mixture...

And arrange. 
Here's what the steps themselves look like: 
 

...and devour.

YAY!
