Today's Entry: the Orange Julius.For the uninitiated, an Orange Julius is a fruit drink, created by blending orange juice, crushed ice, and a mixture of powdered whole milk and egg whites. It has been available since the late 1920s (thank you Wikipedia).
And please, don't ever call a Julius a smoothie. It's downright insulting.
You might ask, how can you dare to label it with such high regard? Um, have you ever freakin' had one? They're absolutely delicious...plus, they are one of those few items that bring you immediately back to childhood. Nothing wrong with a little nostalgic escapism.
Almost impossible to find around these parts, I happened to be in Arundel Mills Mall this weekend, and while the missus did her best to help out the economy at Ann Taylor Loft I went on the prowl for some Julius. I found it...right across from that bastion of good food and great entertainment, Medieval Times (in case you find yourself in said mall I am trying to save you miles of walking...those damn Mills malls are a workout).
It was the best purchase I've made at a mall in years. Jonesing for a Julius now? Check out the website for locations...and yes, I did just join the OJ Quench Club.
