My favorite string cheese is currently one I just tried: Frigo Cheese Heads Original String. Here's the barcode: 041716840887.

I discovered that if I cook milk just right, and then refrigerate it, that it gets a desirable vanilla-like taste to it. Very interesting. I cooked it on low or medium-low heat for a long time. Think like over 30 minutes. It was Gteat Value vitamin D milk.

When you're out of ketchup for your hamburgers you can do any of the following things: • Appreciate them without ketchup (not my personal favorite, but they are appreciable). • Make your own make-shift ketchup from canned tomatoes, salt, vinegar, and something like onion greens. • Instead o...read more

So, on 26 Aug 2019, we had some millet with carrots and hamburger seasoned with Maggi season (as well as pepper, I think). It was really good! I loved the hamburger with Maggi seasoning. I'll have to remember that. The millet was cooked like rice. cooking_ Maggi_ millet_ carrot_
