New on the Houston artisan foods market is Pola, a local cheesemaker. While most ‘local’ cheeses are from Texas hill country, Pola Artisan Cheeses are made right here in Houston with milk procured from small dairy farmers in the area. Pola produces a wide range of cheeses using old world methods. Varieties include both raw and pasteurized goat and cow milk cheeses.
Another cold front is breezing through H-town today, and it is causing us to have visions of hearty bean soup. We make ours with bunches of ham, because that's how we like it. However, we'll give you the very veggie option, if you are not so omnivorous. This soup is quite good the first day, but, we prefer to make it a day or two ahead of time and let all of the flavors marry and the starch from the beans break down and thicken it. This is simple, inexepensive and freezes well - so, make a nice large batch and freeze some for later.
