New Friend

Posted on July 31, 2013 by Mike

I met this honey on a goat farm and took home her image and a lb of garlic feta. It was so freaking delicious and Judy does not like it so I ate it in 2 days. This is a lovely goat, eh.

  She was a ham. No, I guess that would make her a pig.

  We used to have a few goats when we were very young. It was a great experience actually. They are genuine goof balls.

    There is some creature which eats coffee beans which are then retrieved and “processed” before being used for coffee… it’s not a goat is it? It’s not this goat is it? Did you have a cup of coffee while you were there?

    That would be some kind of monkey. I would not taste that coffee which is known as coffee poo poo.
    I had no coffee there. I ate feta there, and for the next 2 days as well.

I’m not sure anyone here has owned a goat… they look cute but they are ornery, destructive and stubborn! Good thing you just brought her image home. That feta sounds wonderful!

  You are right of course. In that same sense I have never owned a pet. I wouldn’t mind having two small nubians as company.

I used to keep a goat when I was a teenager. They are the sweetest, most affectionate creatures. One day we lost the goat and strangely our german shepherd went missing at the same time. Several fraught hours ensued until the two of them came trotting up the lane with not a care in the world. Not sure where the two of them had been but they’d clearly had a nice time out together. 🙂

  HA!! I love that story, I really do. Maybe the goat just felt like exploring and the Shepherd tagged along for protection. Great imagery here, the two of them trotting up the hill.

    No, much as I mistrust our goats, I don’t think that I could eat one. But we know folks who raise and eat goats. I hear that it’s quite yummy. I’ve just never had that particular pleasure.

What a handsome goat. Good grief, a pound of feta in two days? You’re among the walking dead according to doctors. Do I love feta? If there is such a thing as lusting after inanimate objects, yes. I only learned to eat it as an adult, but it is my favorite cheese by far. How did the feta taste different from “regular” feta? I wonder if they sell it? Ship it? 🙂

  I would have eaten much more if I bought more. It was moist and very fresh. And yes they sell it, that’s how I bought it. I want to die choking on feta. Here is the link my dear friend.
