3 Kernels Were Sufficient

Enough to inform my taste buds that this product wasn’t for me.

Not sure what Steve thought when he saw it in the store.
We like eating stuffing at Thanksgiving. Just not as the flavor for popcorn.

Plain popcorn with plain salt, cooked on top of the stove. Real butter on rare occasions.

My preference.

Do you like popcorn?

Basket Cheese

It can be used to make Easter pies or you eat a slice with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey. A firm ricotta like cheese. There are recipes. Recipes to make basket cheese at home and recipes to use the store-bought version to bake savory pies for Easter. There are sweet recipes too. Here’s a recipe for savory Italian Easter Pie

It’s called “basket cheese” because it’s formed in a basket and you can see the imprint of the weaving on the side of the cheese.

“Basket cheese is mild in flavor, so it forms a great combination with bread. It is eaten along with jam or honey and thus forms a great breakfast. Many people enjoy basket cheese as an afternoon snack. Relish its taste with olive oil, pepper and salt its yummy.”
