I learned about a new cheese term today - something called a burrata.
It's round, about the size of a large apple, with an outer layer of white cheese with the soft texture of bocconcini - and inside is a semi-solid cheese, kind of a creamy mixture of cheese curds.
I ordered the "burrata pizza" for my lunch, and it had the most delicious salami on it, and in the middle the ball of cheese!

... two pages later, I finally get a chance to post my reply.
I got this little thing: Belton Farm Vintage Red Leicester at the local Woolworth's. It was on sale ($6.50 for a block instead of $9), so I thought why not. Belton Farm is also an independent, family-run British business founded in 1922 and located in the Shropshire countryside, and exporting all over the world, so they know what they're doing.
Thomas Dux Red Leicester is also reasonably priced and delicious with plain crackers. It was originally an Aussie grocer, but is now unfortunately only available in the Aussie Woolworth's.
Dark_Indigenous_Prince, I can see you're in Los Angeles. Maybe (just maybe?) you can find either of those in LA? I'm not sure.
It's a mozzarella di buffalo. Same thing, just elevated a bit. You need water buffalo for it, at least in Italy. Been a thing for about 10 years or so now.
I'm pretty sure it's against the law to say that and not tell us the story !
Adjustments were made at the writers group for adults: no more trigger warnings, and cold readings are allowed instead of always having to submit work via some internet program a week in advance of the meeting. We also convinced the facilitator that she didn't need to provide weekly learning programs, which are a lot of extra work for her. She teaches at the college and though she didn't really want to teach courses on the weekend, she felt obligated to teach. Next week, we're letting her come down from the podium, moving all the tables to face each other, and turning the meetings toward support and critique instead of remaining an exercise in formal academia.
Yup. No need to over think it.
Now if we can just tone down the guy who touts the value of using AI to generate work... He apparently teaches workshops in how to cheat using AI, so has a financial interest in encouraging people to bypass learning to write.
I did have the thought - I bet Homer knows what this is!
Been looking at LEGO's on the main site and goddamn it do I feel like a kid again. Though now I'm wondering:
#1- Am I too old for that? I'm 36, and the site doesn't seem to think so 'cause their shots show young adults building the sets.
#2- What am I supposed to do when I set up the figurines? Just put them on display and let it decorate my space?
#3- What do I do if I, say, wanted to do a graphic novel out of it where I built the sets, took the characters/figurines, snapped pictures and pieced them together in a story? I'd have to build multiple sets and that's... gonna be pricey.

Never. if it's something you think you would enjoy, go for it!
I have a 17-year-old nephew who has been putting together LEGO for years. When he was about 14 years old, he built the LEGO Titanic! He's also got some other pretty intricate things he put together. It really takes a special talent and concentration.
My sister has a special shelf unit for his creations, but the Titanic is on display in their dining room. It's pretty big!
yeah, they're not cheap
Do what you like!
Same age, still building when I get the chance. My desk is home to the LM from Apollo 11. I even got a light kit to light it all up. Two little astronauts stand beneath the LM, proud as punch. It took me 3 days to build a couple of years ago and it was worth every second.
Yeah, those LEGO kits are pretty amazing.
Just a bit. The space/historical ones are marvellous.
Found one for the Titanic and Endurance. Christ alive, they're huge.
think I’ll get the titanic one
I'll ask my nephew how long it took him to do it.
