The sun came out this weekend and we decided to take advantage of our little balcony for the first time.

Dinner was an olive loaf and cheese...

My mom called me when she saw my paneer post to tell me that she happened to be trying out a recipe for quark, 

a German-style cheese that we love, but find too expensive to buy here in the States.

It is practically same recipe as paneer only uses buttermilk instead of lemons.

Here is the recipe she used in The Los Angeles Times.

For this spread I made ricotta, which is equally as easy as paneer and quark.
It's so delish with chili oil and creamy goat cheese. 

I was just wishing I had some Regina to drizzle over the top!
