Ok, I couldn't open this story with a boring chunk of white cheese, so I opted for a pretty shot of my bleeding heart to welcome all of you back.
This is the story of a very empty cupboard, an overworked tired Mom, a lovely guest, and a shockingly bare cupboard.
Enter boring block of cheese..
This is all I had. A block of goat cheese.
On any other day, I'd have cracked open a jar of Missing Goat chutney and called it a day. But this was no ordinary gal coming over. This was a dear friend, who, being so dear, has had my chutney over and over and over again. Then over again. Always smiling, always saying delicious! I just couldn't serve it again.
But wait! Isn't the rhubarb up?
Yes, it is. But just barely. I managed to harvest about 5 little stems.
...brought them in for a trim and shampoo.
...into the pot for a bubble.
...add a sprig or two of rosemary (also just peeking up in the garden) and sugar to taste.
And lookie lookie. A tasty treat of rhubarb rosemary compote on goat cheese.
Phew.

Now that looks quite yummy! I do like the story of this too..trim, shampoo and a bubble...If I could just taste that now...it would be so fine
clever girl .... though she probably loves your Missing goat chutney ...
That looks delish. Nice job, inventing a new recipe. Thank heavens you had crackers to put it on. It would have all been a bit mushy having to use your fingers to scoop it up with.
I always enjoy your chutney! I was quite happy with the "boring chunk of cheese" too. Yum.
happy Friday H!
Arn't you creative! And you take beautiful photos
wow - looks like such a treat to me.
How come you can still get cheese from a missing goat? (the glass is on it's way. BTW).
yum...heading to the garden to see if I have any rhubarb yet....
Yummmmmmm....your images are beyond words. Isn't rhubarb the best ever!!! I have been eating it nonstop..but I have to buy mine. Hugs my friend. xoxoxo
Now that looks yummy. I would love to be a guest for such a treat. Carla
How completely delicious, I have spied some rhubarb in my own garden and now you have inspired me....
Good thinking, Heather! But then I never doubted you. :)
Lucky you to have rhubarb growing in your yard! I used to, but now I have to buy it. I've been on a rhubarb kick for about a month now and am still going!
Way to save the day, lady! (Even though I am most certain your dear friend would have loved your chutney.)
xo,

Your photos are almost as scrumptious-looking as the I'm sure the real compote/cheese/crackers were!! Decadent!!

Man...does that look good...lucky friend ;o)
you're so good. seriously. you make everything look and taste so delish...you're an amazing mom too - what great things you're passing on to her...
I'm drinking a glass of white wine wishing I had some rhubarb, rosemary and goat cheese somewhere in my pitifully empty fridge!
Takes me right back to childhood. My mom would make rhubarb cheesecake and we would gather round the table and enjoy. Ah, summer!
