I started this blog on January 1st 2008 though the blog was conceived almost 6 months before the first post was published. I was deciding on a name and what to post during that time. When I started posting, I just wrote and clicked the dished and published it. I was not worried if the pic was great .I was kinda satisfied with what I posted. A few dishes did not even have a pic!
Then things started picking up and I slowly improved on the post and the pic. Now when I go back and revisit my old post, I find some pics too dull , not up to the mark and sometime pathetically bad.I have always wanted to repost the dishes with a better photo and did a makeover for a few posts now and then but then again had to drop the idea for various reasons.
So when Srivalli announced the theme, Revisiting old post with new pictures, I immediately signed up for it. So from today, I will take you down the memory lane but with good pics or rather those that are better than the ones posted earlier.
The first one today is Mango Milkshake. I remember the day when I clicked for this post. I made this in the evening.The day was cloudy and by evening the light seemed to fade out almost completely.Yet I clicked and posted. Now the time has come to redo the click and the post…..
Lil Angel loves this milkshake . Once I got a little creative and topped up the shake with a few mango pieces and some choco chips. She loved to spoon out the chunks and choco chips and then sip the milkshake. I have been preparing it in the same way since then……
I use:
Mango pulp -1 cup
Chilled Milk – 2 cups
Mango chunks and choco chips for garnishing
- Blend together the mango pulp and milk till smooth.
- Pour into a cup and garnish it with mango chunks and choco chips.
- Serve immediately.
Note:
- You can adjust the quantity of mango pulp and milk to suit your taste
- I usually don’t add sugar.
- When we have mango / vanilla ice cram at home, I add a scoop while blending the milkshake.
