Epicurean Kentuckian: Cottage Cheese Flatbread

A gluten free bread option was shared with us this week by Cali at All Natural in Columbia. You simply need a blender, a cup of cottage cheese, and two eggs.

Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.

Into the bowl of a blender, add in 1 cup cottage cheese, 2 eggs, plus any seasoning if you like (salt, etc). Blend the mixture until smooth.

Pour onto the baking sheet and allow it to spread out.

Bake at 350F for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely - this is a crucial step - if not cool, the flatbread will fall apart.

The village with the longest winter

Every December, one place on earth is starting its second month of complete darkness, a long, cold winter during which time no resident will actually see the sun until March.

Longyearbyen is the world's northernmost inhabited area, positioned on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, about halfway between the northern coast of Norway and the North Pole.

The sun will actually return to Longyearbyen in mid-February after 111 days of darkness but, because of the town's position near the mountains, no one will actually see it until around March 8.
