Once in a great while I buy some goat butter. It does not give me tummy pain for several days the way cow butter does, and I like buttered vegetables now and then. This tiny pack of goat butter cost $3.99 - that's $15 a pound! That's one reason I don't buy it often. The other is that I can't buy it around here. I have to drive 2 hours to Whole Foods to find it, so naturally I only buy it when I happen to be in Northern Virginia for some other reason.
Last weekend we drove up to Woodbridge to put a house up for rent and I insisted that we make a side-trip to the new Whole Foods at Fair Lakes. It's a nice store, very large, with a huge section devoted to salad bars and ready-to-eat foods. If you've never been in a Whole Foods at lunch time, you haven't seen the frenzy of hungry people buying containers of tasty foods to eat for lunch. Obviously not everyone wants a burger and fries!
Anyway, I did not find the goat butter right away but a couple of friendly store employees helped me locate some - it had just come in and wasn't even on display. I purchased two of the precious little packets. I use just a tiny bit at a time so it will last me a while.
