Day Three Hundred Fourteen: Dulce de Membrillo

When we lived in Brazil, we were introduced to Romeu e Julieta, which is the combining of cheese and guava paste named after the famous Shakespearian play. Here in Argentina they substitute quince paste (dulce de membrillo) for the guava paste and drop the cute name. The dish is considered a national dessert. So, for me, it was dessert for breakfast today. Because I do what I want. I have to admit that I have had dessert for breakfast before, but I've never had this dessert for breakfast before, so it definitely counts as a First. It was fabulous, and I have no regrets!

Day Two Hundred Thirty-Three: Cheese Making

Jeff and I took a cheese making class at Dallas Mozzarella Company this afternoon. We had a good time making several different kinds of cheeses including ricotta, mozzarella, Oaxaca, and a mozzarella roll stuffed with olives, all of which we got to bring home.
