I hereby conclude this meeting. If you would like notes please contact the secretary. Thank you very much.
I would love some good Camembert! Back when I was younger and thinner and spoke better French I had a very French boyfriend and he had a very French house- in France of course. We would visit and get ourselves a wheel of Camembert de Normandie and a cucumber and some mayonnaise and the most delightful French (of course) baguette and have ourselves a little sandwich. It was wonderful but now I want to make it and put a very cool looking Jacobs Creamery sticker on it ;)
Things on the farm have been moving along. We are now milking lots of sheep and have lots of sheep milk and are making lots of wonderful cheeses with it. So wonderful in fact that the local paper got a hold of some of the wonderfulness and is doing a piece on what we are doing in Doty. They even sent a photographer and there will be photos and a lovely article all about our cheeses. I will have the link up on the blog www.jacobscreamery.blogspot.
When the reporter asked me how I knew how to make cheese I told him "I don't I am just pretending, I am going back to Law School next week" I told him not to tell and the look on his face was priceless! I mean come on-I totally would never start law school in the Spring!
I always say when god gives you a surplus of sheep's milk - make yogurt!
So we will have some wonderful sheep's milk yogurt this week at the markets and also some more of that lovely herbed fromaged blanc that has been ubber popular. I also had a massive churning session today! Massive !Yeah for fresh spring butter! I scored some wonderful wildflower honey from the market on Saturday and made a special batch of Heavenly Honey butter-which is actually as fabulous as it sounds!
The Portland Farmers Market has launched its new Evergreen campaign this season and as an avid supporter I have used some very cool packaging! Come check it out!
This week is PSU and Hillsdale so please come by it would delight me to see you!

Smile, laugh and eat more dairy!
Thanks so much, Lisa, for the excellent butter and DELIGHTFUL sheep's milk yogurt from this weekend! Your wonderful bubbliness, joie de vivre, and excitement to help and answer questions always entices me and I'm so glad I took the plunge and got both of these products. I sautteed some turnips in the butter last night (yum!) and today used the butter in a white wine sauce with some clams (also from the PSU market) and put it over homemade pasta. Double Yum! For dessert I had some of the yogurt with some meadowfoam honey (again from the market) and oh boy, what a nice treat! I like the mellowness of the sheep's milk compared to the greek yogurt but will still cross my fingers that the coffee flavored greek yogurt will make a comeback. I will have to try very hard, regardless, not to eat everything the same day I get it though!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for all your help and for making some wonderful food! It's an utter delight to sit down at the table with it and gobble everything up.
