I need to have more adventures. It seems like everyone’s life is more exciting than mine – Josh got to witness some old gay man hookups while hiking, and Miranda gets to keep excellent company with an evangelical Christian for a week. Me? Well, I have Diet Coke. It’s just not the same.
Oh, wait – I have more than Diet Coke; I have page after page of badly written Exchange documentation I have to recreate from scratch. YEAH! It is clearly awesome to be me!
I have faith, though. I find blistering humour in things that are commonplace or terrifying to other people, so I just need to bide my time. My extremely irrelevant sense of self means that I am almost always highly inappropriate, and that makes seemingly everyday situations play out like a very bad movie. As well, the weather is slowly warming up which means outdoor good times – there’s ample opportunity for horrible (but funny) things to happen to me there. And! In just over two weeks, the Angels and I will be heading back to the potato farm for further investigation and staggering amounts of hilarity is to be had in naked farmers having group sex. I will find that cauldron, damnit.
In the meantime, I will ask questions about cheese.
Last night in a fit of whimsy I bought some mini mini Bocconcini (apparently it is really small, hence the need to emphasize the mini mini). Now what? I am not generally a cheese person at all, but once I had some sort of grilled bocconcini and it was good and now I want more. I have a tub of tiny cheese in brine; how do I make it taste good?
Cheese is hilarious. See?

I like to combine evangelical christianity with my love for cheese, and go around asking people: Have you found Cheeses? (say it out loud)
Mmmm bocconcini…I like it in a caprese salad…Little cherry tomatoes sliced in half, lots of fresh basil roughly chopped and a champagne vinegar and olive oil dressing…mmmm…you could even put the cheese on some great sourdough bread and put it under the broiler first, and then top it with sliced tomatoes and basil for a Caprese Sandwich….mmmmm!
marinate the cheese in pesto, and use in a salad application.
Stir these into hot pasta and sauce at the last minute, stringy goodness.
bocconcini is usually pretty bland. Try pairing it with something salty like salami or proscuitto, or something sweet like melon or pear/apple.
I will eat that shit straight, with hearty doses of black pepper on it. MMMMM cheesegasms! Then again, I am strange.
I second ecchs: try the Caprese salad, it’s tastylicious!
