I want more of the queso I had yesterday. I have some in the fridge, but I stepped on the scale this morning. It was Not Good.

Velveeta, for all its flaws, at least melts reliably.
Teppy, how's the ear/vertigo?
I like the Kraft American that isn't wrapped - it just comes in a pre-sliced block. The wrapped ones are too plasticy.
You have to respect Velveeta's lack of pretense. It's a cheese like substance that doesn't really try to pass for cheese.
The wrapped ones are too plasticy.
You've got to take the wrapper off first.
Growing up on a dairy farm, I learned to hate all fake dairy food items....
I wikipediaed Velveeta and then linked through to "processed cheese" and then "government cheese."
Government cheese was SO GOOD. Various parts of my childhood were crappy, but that stuff was om nom nom.
Teppy, how's the ear/vertigo?
The vertigo seems to be 95% gone, but the ear is still 100% non-hearing.
I should have asked my doctor for a ballpark timeline for this kind of thing, but I didn't. If I just had some idea of how long it takes a blocked/stuffed/fluid-filled middle ear to un-stuff, I wouldn't be so freaked out right now.
Steroids are making me itch and giving me mood swings BIG TIME. But at least the vertigo is under control. I'd just like to hear out of both ears sometime in the near future.
My daughter is a cheese weirdo. She doesn't like melted cheese. She doesn't like cheddar (orange cheese she calls it) and is only so-so on jack. What does she like you ask? Gruyere, gouda, brie with the skin cut off. Oh and yeah, she likes the fancy pants, imported from England, $12 a pound cheddar too.
I don't mind so much that she has fancy pants tastes, except that it means she's always stealing my cheese.
