Frothy!

I made a smoothie this morning with milk, a banana, and a handful of raspberries. The fruit was at room temperature, and the milk was cold. Usually I use frozen fruit, or put in a few cubes of ice, but I think I like it better this way, at least for breakfast. Something about the temperature (I'm guessing) made it really light and airy. Like foam. I ended up feeling really full - it was kind of a lot to imbibe first thing in the morning. I would recommend this to share with someone for breakfast, or have for lunch.

I have been craving milk like never before. When I am at work, all I want is a nice cold glass of milk. I am going back to the dairy farm tomorrow, and I stopped after work today to get some cheese for Terri, the farmer. I wanted to get her a little present since she was so nice last week and showed up around the farm. The cheese-man recommended two cool cheeses, and I got a little of each. One is a soft cow's milk cheese from Switzerland. He said most Swiss cheese is made in cooperatives of blended milk, but this is from a single farm, a dairy that wanted to branch out and make their own cheese. The second is also Swiss, a firm Gruyere make from the milk of cows that graze right at the highest pastures, right where the grass meets the snow. Sounds like a joke, right? But it is fabulous. And the first cheese is like butter, it's amazing.
