COUSINS ERIC and AMANDA'S FAMOUS "KITCHEN SINK SMOOTHIES!"

The Anderson Family blog of family favorite recipes would be complete without the addition of one very famous, or, shall we say, infamous, SMOOTHIE, concocted by cousins Eric Anderson and Amanda Johnson at age 3 or 4 years old years ago, pool-side, at Grammie and Grampie's home at Camp Daniel Webster!

Long before the SMOOTHIE CRAZE of today, these two creative and happy-go-lucky young up-starts were on it!

The creative process for these special smoothies happened behind closed kitchen doors and over 30 years ago, so we may never truly know what went into those memorable, dark and disturbing looking/tasting drinks!

SOME POSSIBLE INGREDIENTS 
(from what we could guess)

Milk
Orange juice
Hot Dogs
Hot dog relish
Ketchup
2 Chocolate Covered Ice creams
Some of GRAMPIE'S and Eric and Amanda's favorite -
      maraschino cherries and juice
Bananas

and who knows what else!?

The drink was a lovely/disturbing brown color and "aroma/smell;" presented in little plastic cups by two giggling 4-year olds. Very few of the recipients could stomach the drink, but everyone politely tried to look like they drank it (before dumping it out on the stones by the CDW pool-side!)
