That's how I usually do my strawberries, minus the pepper. But I'm not a big pepper fan, so I don't think I'm missing out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dana, I think yogurt is fine until it looks bad.

I have never heard of a print of butter.

One time at a friend's family's house, I was sitting in the dog's seat on the sofa, when thunder came and he jumped into my lap and attempted to burrow under my ass into the sofa. This was a german shorthair, so not a small dog. It was kind of charming.

I am totally fucked at work. And I'm not sure what to do about it. Hence the posting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It looked separated. I gave up and tossed it, since I figured being slightly hungry was better than being ill.

Water on the top of yogurt is fine, actually. Unless it was weird and too much and then you couldn't eat it even if it was technically fine. I mean, I can almost never drink milk after I smell it, because I only smell milk I'm suspicious of, and then I convince myself it smells bad....

Because books.

Hivemind: Has anyone heard of a measurement for butter as a "print of butter?"

I found this link about the history of butter making.

It mentions a "print" when explaining when butter production moved away from a do-it-yourself home project to larger scale production.

The farm production of butter began to assume definite shape at least as early as 1791 as Willard stated in 1871 that "Orange County located 50 miles north of New York City had for 80 years devoted its chief attention to butter making and the production of fresh milk for the New York City Market." "Dairy butter," as this product made on the farm was called, made up for sale was oftentimes collected as "pats," "balls," "rolls" and even "prints."

So maybe print of butter is a pound?

Exactly. I mixed it up, tasted it, and completely lost the ability to tell whether it was bad or not.

Always Anti-fascist!

I don't like the way milk smells, in general. People think I'm crazy for saying that.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

There's a wooden butter print halfway down this page: [link] maybe it's however much one of those holds?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Unless there's mold, yogurt's pretty safe. I mean, it's curdled milk to begin with, you know?

Which is exactly why, if you start thinking about it, you can never eat it!
