To be fair, with peritonitis, in the elderly, the
hitherto standard procedure is expensive and risky,
whereas the drugs only and all the time regime is
relatively cheap and safe (at least in uncomplicated
situations, such as mine turned out not to be).

The benefits: getting the taste profile right; frugality -
the ingredients costs would run not much more than 50c a
serving. The downsides: smelling up the house; having to
actually track down the ingredients (though lamb kidneys
would work just as well, and veal, though somewhat more
fiddly to deal with, might do.

One McDonald's burger is not a lot of nourishment, especially
for a growing child! I hope there was something at home to
supplement it. I shouldn't recommend such, but milkshakes are
a good source of concentrated calories for hungry kids.

Strawberry Shake
cat: tastealike, historic
servings: 2

2 c vanilla ice cream
1 c whole milk
1/4 c half and half
3 Tb strawberry flavor Nestle Quik Powder

Combine half of the ingredients in the silver
cup that comes in the Hamilton Beach DRINKMASTER
and mix on high speed until smooth. Pour into a
cup. Repeat for shake 2. Or use a blender and
mix all ingredients on high speed until smooth.
Stop blender, stir and blend again, if necessary
to combine ingredients. Pour into two 12-oz cups.
This is supposed to duplicate the taste of the
original (full-fat) McDonalds shakes.
