Chicken Breasts with Goat Cheese & Mushrooms

We love goat cheese.

Actually, we love all types of cheese: cow, sheep, goat….

But I particularly like the soft goat cheese for its ability to quickly become a sauce. It’s like cream cheese but with more flavor.

Bit of useless info: here in France cream cheese is called ‘Philadelphia’ – regardless of the label. Actual Philadelphia Cream Cheese can be found on rare occasions.

We’ve had a cold week.

Brilliant sunshine but low temps.

Not Minnesota cold, but cold for us. High’s around 6C (43F) and low’s around -5C (23F).

There’s ice in the bird bath and the pool.

There had been ice in the puddles leftover from last week’s rain but Hector decided he likes ice. He, very methodically, went from puddle to puddle, cracked the ice, and ate it.

He had to wait until noon for it to thaw enough to break but he was patient.

He’s been spending a lot of time outside. Apparently he likes the sunshine and doesn’t notice the cold.

Besides, the bunnies like the sunshine so he has something to watch.

And I have a few minutes peace inside.
