Where is Orange Julius?!!

After some talk of chocolate limeaid and orangeaid in the "What does Summer
taste like" thread, I began thinking about what would I drink that I
wouldn't make at home? And then it hit me...

Orange Julius

I didn't remember liking it somehow but earlier today it sounded more
appealing than water. So, I visit their website and check locations and
there's one at the mall not two miles away.

I rang them up and finally a kid answers "Orange Julius/Dairy Queen". ???

Anyway... the conversation went like this:

"Where are you located in the mall?"

"We're directly across from us there's a 'New York Boutique'."

What the heck? I almost asked him where that was located.

"Is it close to the Sears end or the Boscovs end of the mall?"

"Uhm, hold on..." long wait, "it's by the Sears."

"OK, on the first or second floor?"

"Uhm... ...first floor?!"

"Thanks." <CLICK>


After that, my interest in an Orange Julius jumped out the window. I
should've followed it out of disbelief! I came to my rescue by reminding
myself that I didn't really like Orange Julius.

Trying to figure out the kids ineptness, I pictured some poor alien from
outer space had just been transported into the store by mistake next to the
phone just as it was ringing and it was really trying to be helpful. I
hoped he scurried off unnoticed to do something useful, like taking over
the planet!!!

Sounds good. I thought that Orange Julius had booze in it. What do I
know?

I guess you could add some vodka if you'd like- that might be good!

No! It doesn't even need added sugar.

Originally it contained raw egg and was a variation on a shandygaff,
waldorf flip or the old English "fool". All of which originally
contained various quantities of wine, brandy, ginger beer and/or champagne.

Merryb,

Here's the recipe for what Alton Brown calls an "Orange Delicious"
(presumably to avoid copyright infringement):

Ingredients
8 1/2 ounces freshly squeezed orange juice, divided
1/2 orange, zest finely grated
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
Pour 6 1/2 ounces of the orange juice into an ice cube tray and freeze until
solid, approximately 2 hours. Store the remaining 2 ounces of juice and the
zest in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

In the carafe of a blender combine the frozen juice cubes, reserved orange
juice and zest, milk, powdered sugar and vanilla, and blend until smooth and
slushy, 30 to 45 seconds. Serve immediately.


I think because of the freshly-squeezed juice and the orange zest, his
recipe would have a stronger orange flavor than the recipe you gave -- but
whether you *like* that is a matter of taste.

I'm wondering about the powdered sugar. It's got cornstarch in it, and I
wonder whether that's intended to thicken the final product. If so, I might
try using a mixture of granulated sugar and pectin instead. Starbucks uses
pectin to give a thicker texture to their Frappuccino® drinks, and it might
work in this application as well. If you're at Sqwertz's house, maybe you
could see if guar gum also works for that. :-) Or you could do what Orange
Julius reportedly does and use egg whites to thicken it.

Just add a spoonful of All Whites.

(I thought Orange Julius went out of business a long time ago)

I used to make a spot on rendition of Orange Julius... it's so long
ago that I don't remember exactly what I did - I certainly didn't
measure. Sugar was definitely *not* part of the mix. I think I used
regular cream and a whole egg. I know I used OJ from concentrate.
What I don't remember is if I reconstituted it or not, but I think it
was reconstituted.

There has to be some vanilla in it.

I have a different recipe, based on how they used to make it (back in
the days when you could order it with an extra raw egg blended in):

2/3 cup boiling water
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup ice
2 tablespoons dehydrated meringue powder
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/4 cup orange juice concentrate
1 1/2 crushed ice

Boil water. Pour into ceramic or pyrex cup or bowl. Stir in sugar and
vanilla, and immediately dissolve. Once dissolved, stir in ice to
quickly chill. Stir to melt ice completely. If making in advance,
store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Combine powdered sugar and meringue powder together.

In a blender, add sweetened water, orange juice and powder blend. Puree
for 15-30 seconds, then add crushed ice and puree until smooth. Serve
in chilled glass.


Today, the meringue powder is still safe, but because the dehydration
process doesn't cook the egg, people who fear raw egg (and lawyers) also
fear meringue powder.

Well, yes there are maps. But if he already has a live person on the
phone who SHOULD know where it is, I understand wanting to just get
directions from them.

My feet don't serve me as well as they used to.

My inquiry was to determine where to park for the shortest walk to the store.

You're such a pityful, no-legged asshole!

You asked the kid where the Orange Julius store is. The kid told you
what store they are across from, to help you locate it. Because YOU
didn't know where THAT was, you asked him if it's near Sears or Boscovs.
He told you it's by Sears. You asked if it's the first or second floor.
He told you it's the first floor. Then you remembered that you don't
like Orange Julius. Ergo, the kid is inept.

Please explain how you came to that conclusion.

This should be interesting in logical notation. Can I watch?

Andy eats SOS and drinks Bud Light for breakfast and you expect him to
be logically coherent? This was a funny post. Perhaps he thinks that
anyone who works at an OJ is inept anyway, but more likely he just
brainfarted.

We got a damned good laugh out of this post. My wife was reading it
with me, and the line, "I didn't remember liking it somehow but
earlier today it sounded more appealing than water," cracked us both
up. Then we got to, "I came to my rescue by reminding myself that I
didn't really like Orange Julius." We both laughed for a while.
Those are very Brautiganesque lines. You should go to your public
Library and check out "So the Wind Won't Blow It All Away."

Bryan,

I actually happen to have a newfangled futuristic barcode micro library
card on my keychain. It's so cute! I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks!

They still have one foot stuck in the 20th century, as their book
collection is not web searchable. It's a small library.

Best,

Andy
