Hi my dear friends and fellow bloggers!
Again… it has been a tad bit too long since I wrote to you last. As I mentioned in my previous post I was working on “Project Ghee”, well I don’t think I called it that exactly … but it sure does sound good right now 🙂
Anyway, let me tell you what I’ve been up too. I’ve been preoccupied with ‘GHEE’, now I’m sure you shaking your head and thinking, “Really Shamim, like you had to tell us that!” (sarcasm intended) Well, of course it’s ghee. Ghee all the way baby!
Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been practically working round the clock, getting my plan into action. There’s been a lot of “blood, sweat and tears… well actually mostly tantrums”, but the hard work has surely paid off. I can now introduce to you SHAMIM’S PANTRY, my little business of which I am the owner and sole ghee maker, aka the Ghee Lady. Yay!!!
I’ve been making small batches of ghee from scratch in a rather large stainless steel pot over an even bigger gas stove. It’s been loads of fun, well actually… it wasn’t the case the first time round I made a batch of ghee. I nearly passed out from sheer nerves. I knew I had to get my shit together or else no ghee would be flowing that day. I did however, tighten up and have since made several batches of golden delicious and super healthy ghee. And… it IS loads of fun now! 🙂
So here’s a little something I put together to introduce my Ghee!
I am making ghee, finally!
Made from the butter of some very happy and local cows.
Raised on green pasture full of fresh sweet grass, woven with young clover. Yum!
This is what gives the ghee a beautiful golden yellow color.

Hi Asma,
That’s awesome! I love hearing about ghee-converts 😉 I am working on my online pantry, will be live soon.
Just working on a few logistics like postage to different states, etc.
If you lived in the twin cities I could have arranged for a local pick up.
