Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Through my Googling, I found something else that said a print of butter was typically a 1/2 pound mold. I can't seem to re-find it, so take it with a grain of sale.

It just got really dark, and I'm hearing rumblings. Looks like the sky is about to open up big time. Yikes.

Well, I could go back and fix my typo and make Vortex look crazy, but I like being the crazy one. It's comfortable and fits like an old, fuzzy robe.

What happens to cheese curds to turn them into regular cheese?

Salt it, squish it, and leave it hanging around, I seem to remember.

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

What happens to cheese curds to turn them into regular cheese?

I only got as far as making farmer's/cottage cheese in my cheesemaking before deciding that that was too much work for not great results, so I don't know from experience, but I think it's a lot of liquid removal over time - in presses or under weight or somesuch. And adding rennet, though I don't know why.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What happens to cheese curds to turn them into regular cheese?

Flavors are added (salt, etc), and the cheese is pressed, molded, and aged. (Beyond that, it depends entirely on the kind of cheese.)

Also, wrap it in leaves and leave it in a cool cave for several months.
