Thanks for the comment, Miss Runner-Up. I'll take all the encouragement I can get.
Today I tried to make a frosting to go on a tasty-ish gluten-free coffee cake (store-bought), using cottage cheese and powdered sugar. I was thinking along the lines of cannoli cream, and didn't realize that I wasn't using ricotta until there was no going back. My stick blender couldn't do much with the small amount, and the hand mixer couldn't make the stuff smooth. I added more sugar and some softened butter, which improved the flavor at least.

Thus it is not by incessant care that we become faithful and exact in the smallest things, but simply by a love which is free from the reflections and fears of restless and scrupulous souls. - Fénelon
