I've worked at the same place a looooong time. Way back when we first got e-mail there were about 3 or 4 of us that got e-mail accounts to start with. There was no naming protocol then so when the (one) IT guy asked me what my e-mail name should be I just said 'ness'. And 20+ years later it's still in the system and works, although I never use it.
"Phil Lilley" is a cinch of a screen name, but many of them here leave me scratching my head. Including friends and/or long-time posters. So -- who'd like to 'splain their screen name?
I'll start: ness is the start of my long, hard to spell, German last name. I've been called ness since the mid-70's, and people just seem to come up with it on their own, because not everyone who says it was around back then.
I think ricotta is pretty bland, and yes, somewhat grainy. Put the two next to each other and I'll take cottage cheese. I've heard folks hoot about cottage cheese in lasagna like it's a real faux pas, but some of the best homemade lasagna I've had was made with it. Don't make lasagna enough to really have a strong opinion of it.
Mostly agree, but a lot of stuff is enhanced with a little salt. Haven’t done cottage cheese and cantaloupe, but I think I will try that. All this cut up cantaloupe I’ve been seeing here seems like a waste of time. Like you, I cut one in half. A spoon and a dash of salt is all you need. Interesting to hear all the different takes.
Been enjoying Athena melons and sweet corn this week.
What the heck is this blue pill you guys need?
An older guy I worked with used to talk about how his ‘blue diamond’ pills improved his home life, but this must be something else. Right? I hope.
At this point, oneshot is making more sense. 😄
Molasses brined chops, peaches and cream corn, huckster maters and 4% fat cottage cheese, salt only, sweet taters with a maple syrup and butter glaze, etc.
And, a Colorado Malbec we picked up last week.
