Revamping the Thick Shake with Alex 😏: Bananas B' Slippin'

For our final installment here, we went back to our roots, or should I say tree because bananas grow on trees and roots have trees-I mean trees have roots so it can work there right hehe cool. Anyhow, back on our second blog, we did that Banana-Orange Thick Shake so I'm coming back to it and doing the Banana Thick Shake! The author says, "You don't need ice cream to make a thick, cold shake" (Pinkwater 49). I kind of went out of sequence so I already know that this thick cold shake can roll out well. The book calls for:

1 banana, peeled and sliced

1 cup milk

1 tsp. honey

1/4 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 cup cracked ice cubes

We also need a blender like the last thick shake called for:

I'm gonna miss making these cute setup photos

As you'd think, you have to throw it all in the blender, minus the nutmeg and it looks scrumptious:

Nutmeg is expensive and can be lethal in large doses

So you blend that for 30 seconds and hey look at that you have the Banana Thick Shake as advertised! I forgot to show the final product and me sprinkling the nutmeg in like the steak guy meme with the salt but if it truly puzzles you, go to my second post and imagine the drink a little less orange. But yeah, the thick shake was very banana-y and a bit more crisp in my opinion which I think is due to the crushed ice cubes. Anyhow, that's it. We went through the cyclic mind of big hopes, losing those hopes, and compromising with what we can. How beautiful. Along the way, I also learned how to mix well, what kinds of bowls to use, adding a little more of the variable ingredients, and how some things are gross by nature. Thank you guys up an hour before the due date who understand the struggle of procrastination. See ya fellers around and remember, stay chill 😎.

Question: Why can we buy things that can kill us in slightly large amounts i.e. nutmeg?
