Ema Datshi (Bhutan)

"I used this recipe for week 31 of my food blog, "Travel by Stove." I am attempting to cook on meal from every nation on Earth, and Bhutan is my 31st stop. Unless otherwise noted, my Travel by Stove recipes are taken from authentic or traditional sources. This recipe does come from a Bhutanese source but is traditionally made with yak's cheese, which you can't currently get in the US. The substitute of feta and Danish bleu is considered an acceptable substitute if you can't get yak's cheese."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a mother of two with another one on the way! I am married to an Englishman and we own a small business in our local area. We live in a very small town called Rough and Ready (yes there really is a place called Rough and Ready!) I am a part-time writer and full time mom. My kids were born 15 months apart and keep me so busy I barely have enough time to cook and no time at all for my other passion, horseback riding. I once had four horses but am down to two; my Arab mare Argo and old Denver. Both of them spend the vast majority of their time standing around in my back yard eating hay. I get to feed them and look at them, but until my kids are all in school (and I stop having more kids) that's about it. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">
