I Say Jon Voyage With A Peanut Butter Chocolate Milkshake

     If you're like me you're probably pre-diabetic and lamenting Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show.  How do you cope with something like that?  By drowning your sorrows with a milkshake!
First you'll need something to put your ingredients in:

I put the milk in first.  There are markers on the side of the container which make it easy for you to measure the milk.  That saves you from having to clean out another measuring device after you're finished.  I used 1 cup of 1% milk, feel free to use 2%, whole, or even skim if you so desire.
Next came the ice cream.  I used Haagen-Dazs chocolate flavor, 1.5 cups.  I packed down the first cup.
The return of the White Chocolate Wonderful!  One heaping tablespoon.  This is good stuff.  I might try peanut butter brownies with it.
I put it in the blender on 'milkshake' for about a minute.  What shake is complete without a topping?
Damn right I crushed up Oreos!  I used a mortar and pestle but I suppose you peons could try it a spoon or something.  Sprinkle it on top of the finished product and voila!
Makes about 1.5 beer glasses worth of milkshake.  I give it 8/10.  Needed more peanut butter.  Also I prefer my shakes a little thicker a la McDonalds.  I think you're supposed to use heavier milk and less of it.  I'll experiment in the future.  For now I'll be at the gym burning it off.
