About Doug and June

This Blog was the brainchild of Doug and June...as they spend as much time discussing food as just about anything else. I (June) suggested Food Porn as a name for this blog, but he (Doug) thought people would get the wrong idea and be looking for some oddly shaped cucumbers or something like that and I had to agree. So he came up with Food DJ (Food Doug & June) if you couldn't figure it out on your own. But you will find here is some awesome recipes and lovely pictures of food (and possibly the equally lovely Doug eating said food). However just warning you, I believe Doug has an unhealthy preoccupation with bacon. Might I (June)add that I love glossy, scrumptious, food-porn-filled cookbooks? The glossy paper, the photos that ooze calories, the chatty yet suggestive descriptions... ahh I smell sex and bacon.

I Got the Peppermint Shakes...

I love December, even grocery shopping has a festive air!..Candy Canes, Chocolate Truffles, and one of my all times favs...Peppermint Stick Ice Cream..Ice cream and candy!!! Can't get much better than this!!  This Holiday Season I wanted to find new ways to eat it..like eating it out of the bowl isnt good enough , so I found a recipe for a Peppermint Shake from GoodHousekeeping.com.  YUM YUM YUM


  • 8 round hard peppermint candies
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract

    • Directions:
    1. In blender, blend candies until finely crushed.
    2. Add ice cream, milk, and peppermint extract and blend until mixture is smooth and frothy.
    3. Pour into 2 tall glasses.
    To add an extra touch…
    • Blend in a tablespoon or so of chocolate chips.
    • Garnish the rim of the glass with crushed peppermint (shown in picture above).
    • Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
    • Stick a candy cane into the glass for decoration.
