What exactly is a cheese curd? I know about generic "curds" as being the protein precipitate from milk that is formed into blocks of cheese, but not the specific Wisconsin food item, cheese curd. Please explain.

I don't know specifics, but Ellsworth style cheese curds are a specific type of curd that is breaded and deep fried to perfection.

Can't be explained. Take a trip to the MN State Fair.

Just got a 24 question document to complete and return to a prospective employer.

It's like being back in school!

On the plus side normally this company just seems a rejection email (I've applied for multiple jobs there) so I guess it's progress.

He seems to be degrading quickly. I missed a trip out to visit him over spring break over some stupid ass satellite test I had to do for work. Already making plans for a trip with them to florida next month.

Maybe I'll be able to take him to the Rockies for some hiking while he's still able. That may be this fall.

So in addition to my terrible heart muscle disease that's almost certainly genetic, I now have some chance at ALS, oh and recently found out my Grandmother has leukemia (not the bad kind, but the kind that makes it almost certain I'll get it, too). I hit the genetics lottery.

Oh boy. "Lucky" you. Hope you get to spend some time with your dad soon.

It said it was full. It lied to me.

Which weighs more: 5 litters of kittens or 5 liters of kittens?

One kitten weighs approx the same as one liter.

So: five litters of kittens, unless it's only 1 kitten per litter in which case they weight the same.

Nooooo - his attempted burn was weak tea, not his PPD. Try to keep up.

Best you choose a metric at which you excel.

Oh, also- Congrats on the new dog!

Sage advice. However if he's who I'm thinking of, I believe he was well liked in the Addiction thread, you'd actually likely hear nostalgic stories about him with fond overtones.

Speed. She rode faster than the battery could drain. :)

No.

Kittens are always one liter.

They are born that way and they stay that way and they never change.

One liter per kitten, thems the facts.

And don't even start in with your alternative facts.

(Cute kitten BTW. And your wife looks a little too smart for you. ;) )
