staring
We start with this boring and possibly deadly recipe:
1 cup orange juice (WTF?)
1 cup milk
8-10 ice cubes
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup sugar

Let's take this to our team of experts and see what they can do with it.

First, let's toss the orange juice. It's citrus. Nobody likes citrus. We'll replace it with something everybody can agree on: chicken broth. Of course, to make that work, we'll need to cut out the sugar. You hear about sweet chicken from time to time, but it always involves citrus. Again, somebody is making that stuff up. I guess in theory the sugar was intended to enhance the sweetness of the orange juice, so we wanted to try the same thing for chicken broth. We think a mix of 30% salt and 70% MSG should enhance the broth nicely.

The vanilla isn't quite there to enhance the orange juice. Instead, it's there to make the flavor a little more sophisticated. Vanilla chicken isn't quite the kind of sophisticated we're looking for, though. Let's geek that and drop in fresh hyena instead. Now we've got sophisticated flavors running around all over the place.

We really, really wanted to leave the milk, but some people said that milk makes cats sick. Whatever. We're going to upgrade this to kitty-safe milk. Bang! Now we're cooking with electricity!

This leaves us with ice cubes. Blended ice drinks may fly in places like Taiwan, but not in the States. They don't add anything to the flavor. Really, they're just empty non-calories. Still, when we dropped them, we found the texture to be rather bland. Our experts found that 8-10 chicken heads were a far more than acceptable substitute.

So here's the fully pimped-out recipe:
1 cup orange juice chicken broth
1 cup kitty-safemilk
8-10 ice cubes chicken heads
1 tsp vanilla fresh hyena
1/2 cup sugar 3/20 cup salt
         7/20 cup MSG

Now that's good eating and good cooking!
