Or, I could simply be an ass and make 1 dessert the kid can eat and
they say tough luck on the rest, including this tart. I'm trying to be
a gracious hostess and adapt as many recipes as possible to allow each
guest the maximum choice. I am trying to do it without spending my
month's household budget, so I thought I might inquire as to the
availablilty of goat ricotta before making a final decision. Has anyone
ever encountered it in a cheese specialty store or a gourmet store?
Buying it - even for exorbitant prices - would at least save me
shipping costs from interent purchasing. If anyone knows of a
well-priced source or has even seen it retail, let me know. If not,
then I spend a day's food allowance making a dairy-free tart and we eat
beans and rice for yet one more night to afford this shindig.
