Good things happen when one forgets.

I warmed some fresh, whole milk late on Friday and then forgot about it. On Saturday, after sitting at room temperature, a large mass had formed in the bowl. Intrigued, I put it in a strainer lined with cheesecloth. The mass crumbled into curds like cottage cheese! I added a little salt and, viola, cottage cheese -- or more like farmer's cheese because the curds are softer. It's easier than the recipe for Cottage Cheese in my book, "MillRose - A Century of Family, Farm and Food."

Join us this week for our popular special: Mushroom Steak, Mashed Potatoes and Roasted Carrots.

Our Dessert of the Week is Juneberry Cheesecake.

A pop-up special special this week is Chicken Blueberry Salad. (Dramatic actor reading the back cover of a book): crisp, sweet romaine and spinach swathed in Poppyseed Dressing with a salad of tender chicken, crunchy celery, onions and cucumbers enrobed in olive oil mayo, topped with shivered almonds and fresh, plump, organic, non-GMO blueberries.

Guests never know what may pop up at the Diner each day!

Today I made an Asparagus and Ham Omelet with Cheddar Sauce. Penny and Felicia enjoyed it for lunch. We sold all the asparagus today, so will not be able to offer it for Satursay and Sunday breakfast. Ask me to surprise you and be delighted by (hopefully) a new favorite.

Speaking of which, several have asked for our Penny (nee Patty) Melt. I will add it as a regular item to the Summer Menu, but decided to have some available beginning next week.

Garlic is one of my favorite seasonings. I have been growing two varieties for several years now. Garlic sends up long curly shoots with a flower bud at the end. I cut these garlic scapes before they straighten so the garlic bulbs can develop into large, plump specimens. I use the flower buds in stir fries, and the stems to make a Garlic Scape Pesto. It adds ZIP to our BLT. If you like garlic, I suggest you try it.

Blueberries, top, and Juneberries, bottom, are ripe and ready to harvest. We'll feature these fruits in our desserts and pastries while they last, beginning with Blueberry Coffeecake on Saturday and for Sunday breakfast.

I continue to develop recipes for our Summer Specials. I was making Lemon Chicken Stir-Fry with Lo Mein Noodles today when the Weishaar sisters (frequent and favorite guests) arrived, so I served it to them for lunch. It is Weishaar-sister approved with four thumbs up!! Stay tuned for our Summer Menu reveal in a couple of weeks 😋

My Aunt Mill's recipe for Shortcake is THE BEST. We're offering it this week with strawberry-rhubarb and fresh whipped cream.

Just finished making Beef with Spring Onion Stir-Fry when in walked one of our frequent (and favorite) guests who had it for lunch. Pop-ups are always so fun and rewarding! I need to record how I made it before I forget 😉

We also have Gooseberry Coffee Cake. Fresh Spring produce just shines in these two items!
