Exactly. The early arrivers invaded the empty-of-humans continent of North America. But there was no-one there to register their arrival. By time the Europeans arrived (Johnny-come-latelys) their arrival was noticed and recorded. But there was a time before Homo-Sapiens in North America, and then the ice melted and they walked in and started to take over the place, as the species is wont to do.
Well I wont to eat lunch.
...had waffles and sasuage for brekkie this morning so the cereal was spared for the time being.
A Ponderable: The word "wont" means "a customary behavior", is homonym-ish and almost sounds-like the word "want" ("desire"). Although, I can understand the blurring of the sounds of the soft "o" and the soft "a" in those two words. But a third word "won't" (contraction for "will not") pronounces the "o" distinctly as a hard "o". So, where the heck did the sound of the soft "i" go?
By rules of contraction, the word should be "wiln't".
Don't you just love English?
But you stuck-it to the pig.
If it's a quantum pig, we can use the leftovers.
...actually, it was turkey breakfast sausage. Need to be careful of those trans-fats these days.
I guess he was a loser at the President's pardoning.
I somehow got unsubscribed from this thread!
Saw an ad in movie theater with Peyton Manning. The ad mentions a sport? Which one is it?
For Peyton Manning? Acting.
...well he did appear on a box of Wheaties wearing what appears to be a football uniform.
...mmmmmm....cereal
I'm about to order these sheets! Hopefully they will look good on my bed! First I need to add money to my debit card! Then I can order it!
I need to stop requesting seconds on my popcorn. I'm bringing home more than I can eat!
I have regal unlimited and a reusable cup and popcorn bucket. Turns out I get it for free.
movies start now! That looked like Chris Hemmingsworth! He is so hot!
I haven't posted much, am trying to lurk
however I have noticed I killed quite a few threads in those times I posted
and stirred one up too
Um, what was I going to say or do? I forgot!
Why can my computer render in DS but not cinema 4D?
..."finished off" a box of cereal this morning.
Love the holidays because Chex cereals go on sale at the local Safeway for those who make the seasonal "Chex Mix",. So I picked up a couple boxes of Wheat Chex (my favourite) for 1.99$ each (normally over 5$ each).
Y'gotta love seasonal bargains.
So seldom are the bargains the things I want. But enough about the Daz store.
I just placed 2 good sized orders at Walmart.com. I was only going to do one, but I needed eggs. Since I'm not part of the Walmart discount club or also known as Walmart plus I think, I couldn't do an order for just eggs for pick up. So on the second order I got cheese and laundry detergent to the second order.
As a person who lives in a society without string cheese, how is it used in cooking? Do you just eat it as snacks? Or cut it into tiny teeny slices that are then spread on food in a polkadot manner? Is it for melting down in sauces? All of the above?
generally it is a cheese snack that one can tear apart and eat.
My kind of cooking, just open the pack and munch.
I’m glad you asked this as I woke up this morning wanting to write something about string cheese and couldn’t think of a way to bring it up without it being awkward.
Technically, “String Cheese” can refer to any cheeses created using the pasta filata (spun paste) technique.
Cheeses manufactured using this technique undergo a plasticising and kneading treatment of the fresh curd in hot water, which gives them durable fibrous structures.
Mozzarella is one of the most well known forms and the industrial version of this string cheese exists due to its many interesting properties…
Apparently when mozzarella is heated to 140 °F (60 °C) and stretched using a series of rudimentary pulleys and mechanical cheese stretchers, the milk-proteins line up in a sort of chorus line, like tiny milk-protein versions of bawdy old timey can-can dancers… but instead of flashing one a brief glimpse of their naked thighs, the milk-proteins make the cheese stretchy and it is then possible to peel strings or linear strips from the larger cheese conglomeration for use as snacks or in ritualistic cheese based combat.
The Roman historian Cato the Elder* (no relation to Cato the Cat) mentioned gladiators having slap fights with long, thin slabs of string cheese.
At least that’s what I was told… I was informed of this by a German cow with a strong Bavarian accent and I’m least good with Bavarian barnyard accents.
Apparently the theory of string cheese goes back much further than the commonly known America version of string cheese that resembles a accoutrement from a military MRE (a military acronym for: Marginally Related to Edible) These sticks of string cheese were made famous by a Wisconsin dairyman in the mid 1970s…
One of the oldest kinds of string cheese is a 17th century Slovakian variant known as “Korbáčik”, which in the regional Northern Slovakian/Southern Polish dialect means “little whips”…
This cheese is woven into braids that were worn on the brims of elaborate cheese hats worn by shepherds to frighten away the Cheese Thieving Wolves** once indigenous to the region.
In the later part of the 19th century Armenian cheese-smiths forged a type of string cheese know as Chechil which was meant to be used as an economical alternative for sheep lassos, but it gained more popularity as a snack and decorative shoulder accessory.
Today when most people hear the word “string cheese” they think of the kind of industrial cheese substitute they are familiar with from their idealized nostalgic childhood memories…
This kind of string cheese was invented in mid 1970s by Frank Baker, a Wisconsin dairyman looking for alternative uses for industrial mozzarella cheese, beyond its usual market as a foodstuff and waterproofing compound.
After hitting his head on a cheese press flange, Baker experienced a lengthy hallucination where a talking Bavarian cow showed him a futuristic elevator constructed entirely out of cheese that went up into space and could be used to cheaply build a colony on the moon, which was coincidentally also made of cheese in that particular hallucination.
Baker was convinced mozzarella could be spun into a light weight alternative to industrial steel wire, which was both economical and delicious.
After several failed efforts to build the space elevator and dozens of rather harsh rejection letters from NASA, Baker was left with several tons of string cheese.
In an attempt to recoup his losses he cut the cheese into small sections to sell to orphanages as orphan feed, but was rejected due to the suspicious plastic appearance of the cheese sections.
Eventually he was able to sell his entire stock to the Milwaukee public school system for use as erasers.
In a fortuitous twist, the schools discovered the children enjoyed eating the erasers with little to no harmful side effects and thus the modern industrial string cheese snack was born.
Today Modern Industrial String Cheese (MISC) is enjoyed by millions of mostly sentient mammals across the globe and is key reason UFOs continue to visit earth despite the dangerous and unpredictable nature of humans.
So there you have it... some of that might actually be accurate, but yes, you can probably eat them as snacks, you can cut them up and add them as a poka dotted decoration on meals, you can eventually melt them down for use in sauces, you can use them in Nerf Guns as an alternative to the foam rubber darts and yes, they can be used to plug mico-meteorite holes in spacecraft.
And they do make a reasonably non-lethal substitute for real cheese if you are so inclined.
*Cato the Elder (234-149 BC), also known as as “Cato the Censor” and “Cato the Groovy” was a conservative Roman historian and former Roman soldier who was known for his opposition to Hellenization and his love of Cheese Fighting.
Though he is contemporary to Cato the Cat, that Cato was an ambassador from the former Island of Meow, which had blown up several centuries before.
Cato the Cat is better known for his poem “Meow”.
**Slovakian Cheese Thieving Wolf (Canis Lupuscheesethievius) is a sub species of Wolf found in the Cheese Mountains of Southern Poland and Northern Slovakia.
Once a common species in the region they have become endangered in recent years due to their activities involving cryptocurrencies and multi-level marketing sales.
I believe the simulator has all the information it needs now.
.....and I have decided that I like my cheese sliced.
I think parts of McGyver's soliloquys may be A.I. generated.
I wouldn't be unduly surprised to find that McGyver is a sentient numerically-controlled lathe.
....hmm, this now has me pondering the complexities of String Cheese Theory.
