Pre-packaged, shredded cheese and yogurt

[kc7jty]

Take up 30 feet (top to bottom) of refrigerated shelf space at a large, popular, local supermarket.
Almost every time I'm there some employee is busily restocking hundreds of the 6oz individual yogurt cups.
I know damn well only a few are packing these things into a box lunch.
Money sez the same idiots that buy this stuff (I buy plain yogurt in the 32 oz container) MUST do the full speed limit to within 75 feet of a just turned red light.

"Natural" my ass...
Kraft cheese that's NOT shredded already tastes like the fucking plastic wrapper it comes in.

Why the hell would anyone buy pre-shredded cheese. I mean seriously, how frigging lazy can you possibly be.

And I rarely buy Yogurt, I make my own. I haven't found a good commercial source of real yogurt such as traditional style Greek yogurt. I simply can't stand the thin watery crap they attempt to pass off as yogurt at the grocery store..

There's absolutely nothing at the grocery store that can come close to matching a spoonful of homemade strawberry preserves drizzled over a scoop of thick creamy homemade Greek style yogurt. Well maybe some home made Tzatziki freshly made with home made yogurt and garden fresh cucumbers, dill and garlic.

All prepackaged cheese is offal, buy a proper piece of cheese and grate yourself, that is what i do.
Yogurt, plain, add anything you prefer yourself, like fresh strawberries etc, then you will get a real taste not colourings and taste chemicals.

i love the grated mozzarella - it doesn't look like mozzarella or taste like it, but i can eat a whole bag of it NOM!

I agree—I hate shredded yogurt too. It's so messy.

I went looking for some images of cheese grater accidents from vigorously grating yoghurt. Found this... do not follow if easily disturbed

homemade Greek style yogurt.
I'm planning to start making my own as well. Can you give any tips?
I'm thinking of using wide mouth qt canning jars in warm water in an igloo cooler.

I don't think it's possible to grate the kind of Mozzarella I know. In Brit land it may be a different story?

Same stuff - I don't know how they get away with calling it mozzarella.

Obviously the words grated and shredded have different meanings in our two countries. In the winter I enjoy making french bread pizzas in the toaster oven. I shred mozzarella by hand with a stainless steel gadget that has a grater surface on it as well as a shredder surface.

The surface on the left is for grating, the right surface is for shredding. Mozzarella on the left surface would not cause the user any beneficial gain.

Those are really fun when you get a little too aggressive with a small piece of cheese.

I make my own water .There is nothing like the taste of fresh homemade water . I purchase the finest fresh hydrogen and oxygen and combine them in a perfect 2:1 ratio to produce the best tasting water you will ever find. These days it's getting a bit harder to find quality hydrogen at a good price but it is still well worth the cost. Once you taste pure, unadulterated , home made water you'll never want to touch store bought water, or spring water, well water or piped in city water again.

My next goal is to make my own home made hydrogen and oxygen.

I think you have to put zinc ribbon into sulfuric acid, but be careful it can blow the top right off the popper.

Usually brits moan and groan about slightly different meanings of words between the uk and us. Bla bla bla whine whine whine. Not me, I love some of them..
eg. 'Whacker' cracks me up every time, I have actually been tempted to use it

Only way to go. Charles and I make our own dirt and rocks out of raw elements. Nothing like a hunk of homemade granite whipped up out of silicon.

All over the frequin' place. The good news is that it blends right in with tomato sauce, so nobody ever knows. Oh, yea, the chip that came off the finger usually fits right in with the chopped mushrooms.

Maybe we can build a river ??

But if you make homebrew water with pure O and H, don't you miss out on the extra nutrition found in most public water supplies? Not only that, but you're beating them out of the "floride makes your brain mush" effort, and they're gonna get you for that. This whole idea must be investigated by Homeland Security as very anti-US.
