Heart-Shaped Cheese

by Farley

goat cheeseSo, I had a nice, simple dinner planned for BK last night for Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, it didn’t turn out so much. The halibut (from Trader Joe’s freezer section) I rubbed with garlic and Himalayan pink salt then seared on each side in sizzling olive oil. Not so bad, a little dry. The rice—I had wanted to make curry with raisins, so I found a recipe that sounded marvelous on Naughty Curry. I was immediately drawn to the unique writing style, the humor, and charm. However, my rice didn’t turn out so well. I followed the directions pretty accurately, but it wasn’t cooked enough and therefore had to let it sit on the stove after it was already mixed together, while the halibut got cold. Fortunately, I had started out on a good note, with the heart-shaped goat cheese I bought at Farmstead Cheeses and Wine that morning. Tangy and creamy, it was delcicious over the rustic baguette from the Feel Good Bakery. The cheese was Le Coeur d’Alvignac which came with a small jar of rose honey. And I did pour the Domaine Carneros Le Reve Blanc de Blancs, which makes everyone more forgiving, I think.
