It will be on your right. I think they're only there on Saturdays though.<BR/><BR/>The whole ammonia thing makes me very sad, because --as you know well-- in France so many of those little cheeses have such a FABULOUS grassy nose, like being nuzzled by a goat -- a clean goat.Mary Ellen Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996661220808218136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141294.post-65248990873768525162007-05-23T09:34:00.000-07:002007-05-23T09:34:00.000-07:00Hmm, ok, well at least they're available somewhere...Hmm, ok, well at least they're available somewhere. I was beginning to despair. What?? There is an Andante stand at the Ferry Building? Where? <BR/><BR/>I feel like 60% of the cheeses I buy are super ammonia-y. My dad bought us about five from a cheese place in Sonoma that shall go unnamed and there was only ONE that passed muster. Same deal with another cheese place in The Sunset. Unless they have lots of turnover it's not even worth it, but that makes me sad because it rules out a lot of the smaller purveyors.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280868668878261349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141294.post-82791786596368219412007-05-22T10:15:00.000-07:002007-05-22T10:15:00.000-07:00:) So we actually get them at Whole Foods' cheese...:) So we actually get them at Whole Foods' cheese counter, believe it or not. But I'm having some misgivings because the Whole Foods on California has changed their setup and the nicely refrigerated spearate case is gone -- all the pretty goat cheeses are thrown willy nilly into the abyss of the open case to fend for themselves, poor things!<BR/><BR/>I've had a little trouble though with getting ammoniated Andantes before -- even when we picked up a Nocturne at the Ferry Plaza from the Andante stand. I'm afraid they're just such delicate little things. They don't seem to travel very well. <BR/><BR/>Maybe it's the cow's milk because we've had better luck with the Acapella.Mary Ellen Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996661220808218136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8141294.post-20907549504662621972007-05-21T16:31:00.000-07:002007-05-21T16:31:00.000-07:00Okay, where are you finding Andante cheeses?

I got a lecture at Cowgirl Creamery from the dude with a moustache that left me a little verklempt. What's your source, ME??<BR/><BR/>Your kitties are too cute. <BR/><BR/>Kitties AND Andante. No fair. Even if they are ammonia-y. (The cheese. Not the kitties.)CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06280868668878261349noreply@blogger.com
