Last summer for Battle of the Books my teens and I read The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan. We were all charmed by Riordan's interpretation of the "nectar of the gods". Nectar tasted like your favorite food, and in Percy's case it was liquidized warm chocolate chip cookies. We figured that Percy's nectar was like a chocolate chip cookie milkshake. None of us had tried it, but we were intrigued. If an Oreo shake is next to divine, than a chocolate chip cookie milkshake must be the nectar of the gods! I ended up making these nectar shakes, and let me tell you folks, they are amazing.I used pre-made cookies to save time (Tate's Chocolate Chip), added vanilla ice cream and a dash of milk to a blender and whipped up one delish nectar milkshake. For those who would like to try Percy Jackson's nectar for themselves, check out Nestles recipe for a Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshake at VeryBestBaking.com. Let me know how it goes!
While we're talking halflings-- check out the awesome new movie trailer for Percy Jackson & The Lightning Thief.
