Americans and cheese... This American loves cheese. This evening it was grated Asiago on the spaghetti with tomato sauce.

I'd never eat a Reuben because I detest both rye bread and sauerkraut. My sandwiches for the past 2 weeks have been mortadella with pistachios on Italian bread. It has plenty of fat. The local salumeria has had it half price two weeks in a row. No cheese. Just a little Dijon type mustard. https://www.volpifoods.com/products/classics/mortadella-with-pistachio/ --Bryan |

Cow butterfat has a very subtle, but rich flavor. Sheep butterfat has a more pronounced flavor, and goat butterfat has a strong flavor, even in an unripened cheese. --Bryan |

Star brand, says Modena Italy and while I do not recall the price, it was probably more like 10$ or less at the grocery. It lasts a very long time in the cabinet and here, is used more for bread dipping with olive oil, black pepper, and may be parm/romano. Sometimes in a salad dressing but not that often. |

I prefer that method. Even the best painters tape can't give you a perfectly clean line. Radii are even trickier to tape off. I do the best I can and clean up with a razor. |

Go figure. PEOPLE with Mental Illness are still PEOPLE! Sometimes smarter than YOU Alex! Ever hear the one about the traveling salesman who got a flat right next to the asylum? As he was out to change his tire he knocked the hubcap over with all his lugnuts in it which all went down the sewer. "OMG what am I gonna do?" he asked. "Um excuse me?" a voice was heard from the asylum. "Why don't you take one lug nut off the other three wheels and that might hold the wheel on until you can get it fixed" OMG the salesman said! That was brilliant! Why are you in that asylum, you should be out here helping people! I'm crazy, not stupid! ;-) John Kuthe... |

Not really. It just that the delusions, symptoms of their illness, make them think they are much smarter than they are. |

It's true the mini-cubes are just salt bombs. Making your own broth is easy but having lost (old age) the 2 dogs, we found out Prince actually (oddly for a dog) is not that fond of it. We find older dogs often have a really good sense of 'what works for them' so I suspect he may either have a mild chicken/poultry allergy or an issue with any fatty foods? Hard to tell. Also making your own means you have to eat a fair amount of poultry so you can save the bones (and can't have been fried). For us, through the years, we had families save poultry carcasses in the freezer for us (or bring them over and we'd freeze). That made up the gap we needed but may not be workable for others. I agree the 'BTB' label is a good one. Knorrs also makes a decent powder version. Since I use more probably than most, I get it in bulk. |

Stovetop would be about 2$ I think. |

Not a single one is > offensive nor do they have an 'off' taste. > Gary gets only one guess which one I make a point of buying. LOL, I'm going to Kroger maybe! I'd stock up at sales time. For me, the extra trip would have me pay the higher price since the route I use to/from work doesn't naturally put me real near anything but Food Lion, Aldis, Lidl, and Harris Teeter. Krogers is across a street with an awkward turn around reequired (no light, may sit 10 minutes to make the u-turn required) and I might add, LOTS of issues with the parking and accidents including getting run over in the parking lot to get into/out of the store. I normally add 'cost of production' to my posts because locally I try to help folks on limited funds reduce bills and same post gets copied back and forth from here to Yahoo or NextDoor. |

I have a pot of it with a mix of Butterbeans (large limas), Black Eyed Peas, and Navy beans (all dried). Big meaty hambone and Knorrs chicken powder plus onion and spices. |
