Poor Despised Cheese

Have you ever wondered about Cottage Cheese?  Before a day or two ago I never had.  And now I feel terrible about it. 

It's all in the name: 'Cottage' cheese.  You can practically hear the emphasis placed on it. 

It's not real cheese, it's only cottage cheese, fit only for cottagers to eat. 

Poor Cottage Cheese.  It's been looked down on all it's life and it never understood why. 

Well I understand you Cottage Cheese.  I get you.  You're all about being delicious and simple.  I'm fine with that. 

Poor scorned cheese.  I will eat you even if no one else will.

Wednesday Word: Matzicle

Get your Matzicles!  Get your Matzicles!  Fresh Matzicles!  Cold Matzah balls!  Onna stick!  It's a Matzicle, get your Matzicle!

Yep.  I just made a new word.  And it's awesome.  Nearly as awesome as what it's describing, but only nearly.

For those of you who have been deprived all your life of Matzah balls--I'm so very sorry--a Matzah ball is most comparable to a soup dumpling.  Only better.  And made with Matzah meal instead of flour.  (here is an explanation of Matzah)

Normally people eat it in soup. 

Personally I think it tastes good even without the soup.
