After reading theyoungtongue.blogspot.com I feel like an inadequate mommy because I joke that Enzo's five food groups are sausage, barbecue, pizza, hotdog and adobo. He calls all vegetables "decorations" and refuses to eat them.
He also still drinks powdered milk from a damn can. Fueled by wanting to teach Enzo to drink fresh milk, I asked my friend Anjeanette as to what she buys for her daughters. She suggested Holly's, the former Senator Magsaysay's business involving New Zealand cows in Laguna.
So I bought some whole milk, chocolate milk (unfortunately the distributor I got it from ran out of low-fat milk) and quesong puti (white cheese, our version of Buffalo mozzarella) from Holly's.
When I was going to UP Diliman for college, we lucky students had Wednesdays off so sometimes my friends and I would go all the way to UP Los Banos for some dairy delights. There was no Skyway back then!
Hubs and I decided to try the products out for breakfast last Saturday. Because we have such different sleeping habits, we don't get to breakfast as often as I'd like.
Everything was fantastic.
The white cheese was wonderfully thick and creamy. When we cooked it, it kept its shape, unlike some versions you find in the supermarket. Here I garnished it with some fresh basil from my plant in the garden.
Doesn't it look fab? Makes me feel a little like Ina Garten, everything was so easy to prepare and yummy.
As for Enzo, he thought the fresh milk was sour though my hubby found it "delicious." He did enjoy the chocolate milk though. Glad to know there are alternatives out there...
For more about Holly's, go over Rica de Jesus' comprehensive article in her blog, http://heart-2-heart-online.com/2009/02/04/hollys-really-farm-fresh-dairy-products/.
