you travel with your own gallon of milk.
Connie and Stuart Veldhuizen did just that when they came to town this week for their debut at the Houston Rodeo. Monday was the Best Bites event, a wine and food tasting attended by Houston's finest chefs and nearly 4000 guests. The Veldhuizens were invited to bring their wonderful farmstead cheese and were kind enough to let us tag along.
Planning to be beseiged by the crowd, we prepared a bunch of samples ahead of time. In the end though, the hit was Stuart, who enthralled the crowd with tidbits of information about the farm while carving out samples from a half wheel of carraway cheddar.
The reward for us came the next day, when they gave us some of the richest, yellowest butter I've ever tasted and raw cream so thick it should be illegal - oh yeah, it is!

Is it a sign that you're getting old when your friends that hook you up with illegal 'stuff' are peddling dairy products?
Ah well, such is life as the years go by. Just wait 'til we start throwing "wild" dairy parties.
Could be fun. Chugging raw milk. Goat's cheese shooters...you could have a couple of cartons of soy milk for the designated drivers.
