Neutrinos, Gluons and Lemon Quark

While Los Angelina Jeanne and I were strolling around the Marin farmer's market last Sunday, we happened by the Spring Hill cheese stand. We treated ourselves to some samples (when I'm on a fixed income, I plan to eat lunch twice a week purely off the samples at the market!) of Old World Portuguese, White Cheddar and, huh? Lemon Quark?

Gotta have it, if only for the quarky name!

The Spring Hill website recommends using this ricotta-like sweet and lemony cheese on pizza or potatoes but I thought it was a natural to pair with fresh fruit. I sliced the melon we also bought at the market, added the few strawberries which had not turned to mush, and the super-sweet blackberries we found at a third stand, stuck the pot of lemon quark in the middle and called it dessert.

The taste is out of this world! Or should I say in of this world? Anyway, a whole universe of flavor in a small package!
