Hi, Y'all...The Ewe here.  I want to share with you a recipe that has become a favorite around here.  You know, with 5 children, we have to really budget our food.  This recipe is really cheap to make.  Now, I'm not going to type out the recipe here because it belongs to someone else, but I'll include the link  and some of my thoughts...

We're including this on the Gofer blog because there are several things a "Gofer" can do when you make this.  I like to measure out the dry ingredients into a quart sized zipper bag, zip it up, then let the Lambies shake it until it's mixed well.  (Or until I'm ready for it, lol)  They can also add in the ice cubes right before you blend it.  Then, of course, they can carefully play "car hop" and carry the shakes to folks.  You may have to tweak the recipe to get it just the way you want.  I've noticed that the second batch usually turns out better, i.e. thicker, than the first batch.  I think it's because the blender pitcher is really cold by that time.  So, I'm wondering if you can get a better first batch by chilling the pitcher in the fridge for a bit before you're ready to make the shakes.  Let me know how it turns out if you try that trick...

Well, enjoy!
