Cookistas. I'm making pasta primavera and got a deal on an eight ounce wedge of Romano. It will serve eight. I already have mozzerella and ricotta in it., along with some dry salami. How much Romano would be too much? Should I use the whole eight ounces or would that be way to strong. (I have to admit I normally use the powdered stuff so have no idea how much real Romano to use.

I'd think more like 3-4 ounces, which will grate to a cup or more. You can always grate more on it at the table.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I agree. I love cheese but you can always add more at the table, you can't take it away.

I agree. Romano can be salty, so start with less and you can add more later.

I am procrastinating. It's sunny outside and work is boring, but typing at the computer means I can at least pretend I'm being productive.

Hi Seska!
I went back to the doctor today for a blood pressure check, and it was 125/84. I need to go back for one more check next week, but consensus seems to be that whatever was causing the high blood pressure last week is gone.
Then I went to Best Buy and bought yet another new power cord for my MacBook Pro, because I can never seem to get these things to last more than six months. (It's always the part of the wire right behind where it connects to the computer that gets damaged. But I have to buy a whole new power supply, because it's attached. I saw a thing on Amazon for just attaching a new cord, but it requires soldering, which I don't really know how to do. I mean, I did it once in a jewelry-making class when I was about 12, but that doesn't mean I trust myself to do it right on electronics.)

You know, my doctor pooh-poohed the stress factor in my elevated BP too, and I really think that was bullshit.

I wasn't terribly surprised my BP was so high last year, since it was a stupid stressful year. But my doctor was like, well, you're married, so that stress is over, you have a new job, so that stress is over, so it's probably because you're old and you should lose weight even though that might not help.
So I, too, think it was bullshit. But OTOH, on the higher dose of BP meds, my BP isn't *low*, per se, just low for me (105/50-something).

Particularly since they've documented "white coat" blood pressure increases for people who are stressed by doctors.

Which is just, imho, nature's way of saying you CAN'T have too much cheese.
