Strawberries and Cheese, oh my
Posted 6/4/2010 10:09am by Leslie Cooperband or Wes Jarrell.
This week's word is abundance. Our berries are finally starting to ripen, and first in line are the strawberries. We actually have enough to send to the farmers market this Saturday--maybe only Urbana, though. Kris is picking berries like a mad man as I write, so we'll see how many pints we get. The sun has been plentiful enough that their taste is pretty exquisite. As Wes says, "They taste like Oregon berries" (dry summers produce sweet berries in Mediterranean climates like Oregon and California).
Lots of cheese this week too:
Whole goat's milk ricotta is finally here! It's sweet, delicate and delicious
Chevre, of course--stuff those strawberries with some chevre and fresh herbs! Yum.
Limited supply of Angel Food
Little Bloom on the Prairie
Krotovina
Ewe Bloom
Roxanne--nice semi-hard texture
This week, we're running a sale on Ewe Bloom, the "blue" duckling that tastes like a swan. It is $5/lb per pound less than the regular price. As I wrote last week, look past the blue rind and experience the buttery interior, and you'll be hooked on this cheese.
Take advantage of our abundance this week. We'll be attending the Urbana, Green City Market and Oak Park Farmers' Market. Happy Local Food eating!
