Real Men Eat Quicheand even make requests for it! I ought to know for I am married to a real man who likes quiche! Last night we had such a meal. I make my own variation of quiche depending upon what garden produce I have available. Last night, I used lots of eggs, raw cheese, milk from our goats, sea salt, finely chopped swiss chard, tomatoes (red and green) and onions, as well as a little oregano and minced garlic.I served this with mixed salad from our garden. My daughter helped me make homemade buttermilk biscuits made from freshly ground spelt flour and our own goat's milk topped with butter and gjetost. Gjetost is a Norwegian goat cheese which my daughters and I made from the copious amounts of leftover whey from mozzarella we had made. It is made by boiling down the whey, which can take 6-12 hours until it is of a spreadable consistency. It is quite tangy in taste. Although it has been some 10 years since I've had Velveeta, I do find myself wondering if gjetost is what those manufacturers were trying to mimic! For dessert, we had strawberry sorbet made from frozen strawberries, sucanat and goat's milk kefer (kind of like yogurt only more of a liquid consistency). My real man and my real children and this real wife enjoyed our real food last night. After partaking of our real food we proceeded to get some real work done. There is nothing like real food that sticks to your ribs and gives you fuel to finish a task, even if it is quiche! :) Off to fix my real hungry gang some real food for lunch, The Farmer's Wife 12:34 - 2006-Oct-7 - post comment
