Speaking of cheese, still

Tonight for dinner I made one of my favorite meals. It takes about 5 minutes to make, and it is almost an exact duplicate of my favorite dish at the Spaghetti Factory. There are 3 ingredients: spaghetti, butter, and Myzithra cheese.

Myzithra is a Greek cheese made from sheep's milk. It is dry and salty and DELICIOUS. I have only ever found it at Safeway in the specialty cheese section. It's slightly expensive, but totally worth every penny. It's perfect for a quick dinner - just cook up however much spaghetti your family will eat, melt a pat of butter on top and toss to coat, then grate enough cheese for about 1/4 c. per person. (If you are like me - I want every noodle strand coated with Myzithra goodness.)

I had another post planned for today, but...it's Saturday. I'll be back tomorrow. With a post NOT about cheese.

I am jealous of your move to Vegas! I wish we could be close to you and Kare! You guys are going to have some great times! I would be sad to leave your awesome green Kitchen also... It is so pretty.

LOVE HAY

P.S. I love cheese (except for stinky feta cheese hidden in the fridge).

That sounds delightful. I'll have to keep my eye out for that kind of cheese.
