Celebrity kids

May 13, 2010 by marian33031

If you have been reading the local food blogs, then you knew goatherd-cheesemaker-chef Hani Khouri’s kids started arriving in March. No, not his children home for spring break. His kids, as in baby goats.

These kids have been been the focus of a small media frenzy. They must be the most famous goats in the area. Hani is very excited about it. Celebrity kids, imagine that!

Laurie Jennings introduces The Goat Herder.

Most recently, Jonathan Vigliotti did a story on Hani’s transition from businessman to goatherd, which aired on Local 10 WPLG on May 11. If you missed it, the story and video are posted online here.

Mary Lee Khouri and Clark Gable

In their latest issue, Edible South Florida has a great cover picture of Hani’s wife Mary Lee, holding one of the kids, accompanying a nice article. The article is by Gretchen Schmidt and photos by Alfredo Añez. Look for the magazine this month at Whole Foods and other locations.

If you look carefully, Mary Lee and Hani autographed their pictures. Want my copy? Be the fifth (5th) person to comment on this post as to which is your favorite flavor of HANI’S ice cream and why, and the autographed magazine is yours! Only one comment per person allowed. Offer expires Thursday May 20 Saturday May 22 at midnight.

Back in March, two local food blogs have also posted about the goats. Genuine Kitchen featured the pregnant does, including the very huge Cleopatra.

Shortly after, Mango & Lime came out and took pictures of Cleo’s kids, including the very pregnant doe Maria. Paula’s post about the goats and Hani was featured as Blog Post of the Week on the South Florida Daily Blog.

The kids are growing up. They are cute and friendly, and better yet, they are weaned. That means that Hani is back in full production with goat cheese and goat milk ice cream, and it’s as good as you remember. You can get some from Hani’s Mediterranean Organics at the Pinecrest Gardens Green Market this Sunday. Yes, it’s still going strong through the end of this month.

5855 S.W. 111th Street, Pinecrest, 33156
Open Sundays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Hani signed his name in Arabic.

    Butter Pecan! The sweetness of the ice cream along with the crunchiness of the caramelized pecans makes it the best! I just had a butter pecan milkshake last night…I could definitely go for another now

    Mmmmmm sounds yummy — but I failed to mention that it has to be one of the flavors that Hani makes. Try again.

    I’m so happy for Hani and Mary Lee. I saw the news clip and was thrilled for them.

    I’ve been keeping my goat cheese for about a month now and am going to make a tomato tart with it tomorrow!


  4. on May 16, 2010 at 9:58 am marian33031

    Tomato tart, yum! Can you share the recipe somewhere? I’d like to try.
    So, um, what’s your favorite flavor of Hani’s ice cream…? The signed copy of he magazine is looking for a new home!


  5. on May 17, 2010 at 7:21 am La Diva Cucina

    I have not tried his ice cream!!!!! I love ice cream! I am going to make the tart tonight and am starting a “meatless Mondays” post, so check my blog later please! (hope it turns out, I’m committed now!)


  6. on May 17, 2010 at 10:14 am marian33031

    Good luck with Meatless Mondays! Sounds like a fun and healthy thing to try.

    Hani is at the Roots in the City Farmers Market in Overtown on Wednesday afternoons this week and maybe next week. Some of the flavors available are papaya-wild orchid, passion fruit, raspberry, chocolate, french vanilla. I’ve also tried mango, araza and black sapote when in season.

    By the way, the autographed magazine is still up for grabs. I can’t believe that nobody out there in cyberspace has tried Hani’s ice cream! People, what’s the matter with you?? You’re missing out on some good stuff!


  7. on May 17, 2010 at 2:41 pm La Diva Cucina

    I didn’t know he was selling the ice cream at overtown! That’s very convenient for me. It sounds delicious! Yes, we must help Miami to try Hani’s ice cream!


  8. on May 17, 2010 at 8:36 pm Tina

    The papaya-wild orchid ice cream is divine! There is such a complexity of flavors sweet – earthy – rich all rolled in to one. It is so so so good!


  9. on May 18, 2010 at 11:30 am marian33031

    Thanks for your comment, Tina. You are the first to respond with your favorite flavor of Hani’s ice cream. Need four more comments from four other people by Thursday midnight to have a winner!

    Yes, I love the papaya-wild orchid flavor, too. For a long time it was my very favorite, but then I tasted araza… sigh… Hope Hani makes more of it this summer!


  10. on May 20, 2010 at 7:39 am Farmer Margie

    hhmmmmm…hard to decide which is my favorite. The first flavor I ever tasted of his was the papapya wild orchid, but I’m really partial to cas guava. I LOVE tart anything!


  11. on May 20, 2010 at 2:38 pm marian33031

    OK, you are comment #2. And you can have my share of cas guava!

    I’m disappointed by the limited number of comments, and am extending the deadline to Saturday, May 22 at midnight. I really would like to give the magazine to somebody!
