At least now I know that I need a dentist with small hands. Sigh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My doctor wants me to call him about my medications and my bloodwork. The two times I've called him so far I've spoken to a receptionist very pessimistic of me speaking to him again anytime ever.

I mean, after all, today is his first day back after two weeks of being at the hospital.

Never mind I saw him in those selfsame offices on Friday.

Question for the hivemind: I accidently put a big block of cheese (cheddar) in the freezer yesterday. What should I do? Should I leave it in the freezer and hack off bits as needed? Will it get mushy if I out in the fridge now and let it thaw?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Big Block of Cheese Day! (Sorry, I have no advice.)

I had a fairly spectacular non-fall today while trying to help a carfull of octogenarian ladies who were stuck on the ice. Windmilling arms and everything.

Maybe Toby or Josh would know what to do with my frozen block of cheese.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

All this food talk is making hungry and I ate dinner fairly recently.(Pineapple black bean chicken frozen dinner, if anyone cares)

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Ganked from a website

# Normally, frozen cheese will lose its characteristic body and texture, becoming crumbly and mealy. However, small pieces (1 pound or less, not over 1 inch thick) of certain varieties may be frozen for as long as 6 months -- if they are handled and stored properly. To prevent evaporation, cut cheese should be tightly wrapped in foil or other moistureproof freezer wrapping, then frozen immediately. Freeze the product quickly, at a temperature setting of 0 °F. or lower.

# Cheese varieties that can be successfully frozen in small pieces are: Brick, Cheddar, Edam, Gouda, Muenster, Port du Salut, Swiss, Provolone, Mozzarella, and Camembert. Small cheeses, such as Camembert, can be frozen in their original packages. When removed from the freezer, cheese should be thawed in the refrigerator and used as soon as possible after thawing.

Probably utterly unhelpful, but that's what I've got.

God, I don't miss the ice. Were the ladies all okay?

I am going to shoot someone if I can't find this damned spreadsheet somewhere. It's nobody's fault but my own, but still.
