Cottage Cheese

I sure do. As I embark upon my weight loss plan I will be eating a lot of it. It's packed with all kinds of good stuff. I've been eating it since I was a kid, it was always around.
My Dad loved it. Well, he just loved food.  He grew up in a coal mining camp in the Depression, pretty much homeless and hungry. He liked to eat it with baked beans....that's just wrong. He would also regularly eat an entire, eye watering, yellow onion like an apple. He was a freak...but he was rail thin. It was probably the cottage cheese...which everyone knows was in abundant supply in the early 1900's labor camps.
There are many different forms of said cheese: Raygula (my cool way of saying regular), lowfat, non-fat, large curd, small curd, and pre-mixed with various shit.
I prefer small curd regular. I grew up in Amish country so I was born with the knowledge that the small curds are created by adding more rennet, a type of yeast that makes it curd. Curd is a flat out nasty word...right up there with some of my other hated words like smegma. Large curd lowfat is very watery and I dislike the texture. It is probably much like the curds and whey eaten by the now famous Little Miss Muffet. I am convinced that Little Miss Muffet was a coal mine town slut who used curds and whey to attract young hungry guys like my Dad into getting with her. Don't you even think for one minute that some of these nursery rhymes didn't have alternate meanings my friends!
I cannot eat my cottage cheese with anything sweet. No fruit, honey, sugar..whatever. No sweetness, it's nasty.
I like it with some Tony Chachere's on it, with a few crackers. Delicious.


Here above is the least desirable form of cottage cheese. No one likes this type.  This is actually Brittany Spears' brand...which is VERY expensive and EVERYBODY has tried it so it's no big deal. Don't waste your money. You can thank me for the tip later.
This has been a small trip inside of my brain. I hope everyone has a great Wednesday! I am earnestly working on the commentphobia...I made a comment on a blog yesterday. It was like 4 words.....baby steps.

    I have an awesome cottage cheese pancake recipe on my blog..early on in 2009. It is the only time I go "sweet" with the CC. Enjoy :)

    I loved the trip! I too love cottage cheese - the good kind, not that scary kind. And I'll be looking into whatever Tony Chachere's is...

    Wow I am still laughing my ass off at this one....I should try some cottage cheese with Tony's on it. I put Tony's on everything.

    My granny always ate cottage cheese with canned peaches. YUK! I agree sweet stuff just doesn't work for me.

    I just re-discovered the cottage cheese (the food kind). I like mine dry, wet, lowfat, full fat, big and small curd but agree curd is not a nice word.

    Even the other kind of cottage cheese has its allures (interesting to investigate on a long boring evening for example..however Brittany..well you said it all :)

    Come on ..you know you want to comment :)

    THANK YOU. I can't stand sweet things in my cottage cheese. I have a co-worker who mixes it with peaches or pineapple so I tried it that way once. Yuck, yuck, double yuck. Cottage cheese is only good when it's savory. (I do like it mixed with tuna, on Triscuits though. That's pretty good.)
