May 2010 Full Moon Feast


It's finally here! Our first Full Moon Feast of the season - keep your fingers crossed that the skies will clear up for some moon gazing.
The theme of this month's feast is the Milk Moon. The Milk Moon recognizes a time when people would lead their herds to the green grass on higher pastures after a long winter. The pastures would be warming from the spring time sun and the melting water from the snow would contribute to a rapidly growing pasture.
This month's menu features products made from cow's milk, goat's milk, sheep's milk and water buffalo milk. There are a few vegetables in there as well ...
