INCONSISTANT REWARDS

I Like Goats
(A herd of Angora goats was the source of many a RONdom Thought. Sadly, a rise in predators and a decline in mohair prices resulted in their dispersal. But the memory - and columns - are still around.)

original recipe by The Practical Baker
As those of you who regularly read this column know, 95% of the recipes I share with you are recipes that I’ve collected (borrowed/stolen?) over the years from friends, relatives, cook books and the internet.
