Ricotta is really easy to make--just a gallon of whole milk, some lemon, cheesecloth, strainer or slotted spoon. . . .
The dinner started with a hot artichoke spinach dip and some of my lavash crackers, then a cassoulet with eye of round, garlic sausage, white beans, bacon, and veggies. I made some Parker House Rolls from scratch last night. That was kind of fun. Until I toasted them instead of warmed them for dinner. Nothing like turning 2 + hours of work into toast. But that's the way I roll. . . ha
