    Mango Lassi

    You'll want to make a lot of this. I triple the recipe, and we always go through it. It's perfect with spicy Indian food because the yogurt helps mitigate the spice if it gets to be too much.

    Ingredients

    1 c. yogurt, plain

    1/2 c. milk

    1 1/3 c. mango, chopped (or canned or frozen)

    cardamom, fresh ground if possible

    sugar or honey to taste (optional)

    Directions: Throw everything but the cardamom in the blender and blend until smooth. Top with cardamom before serving. You can also garnish with fresh mint leaves.

Homemade Pasta and Seafood

The highlight of this meal was definitely the pasta. UC and I made it yesterday, with 100% organic ingredients, including local, farm-fresh, pastured eggs. We mixed, kneaded, and rolled our little hearts out, and then topped it with this fun seafood mix and a homemade garlic & white wine sauce I whipped up using our Amish butter.

Meal Costs:

Homemade pasta (2 lbs, 1 lb of which got dried for later use). Eggs = $1.00. Flour = $1.00. Oil = less than $.25.

Seafood: $4

Sauce: Less than $1.00

Total (minus dried portion of pasta): $6.15 (rounded). Portions: 6. Cost per portion: $1.03

Not bad!
