Louie the Cottage Cheese Guy

Was watching Good Eats the other night, and AB was making cottage cheese out of skim milk and vinegar. It just so happens that I have almost a gallon of skim milk that is going to go bad in the next couple days, so i'm going to convert it to 2 cups of cottage cheese tonight.

This made me think of a story I heard in hike school.

One of my favorite teachers from JH/HS was Mr. Jones. He was an interesting guy, painted for a living during summers, had a ZZ Topish beard, studied martial arts, and coached track and cross country. at some point, he and his wife got divorced, and he lived in a camper. He oversaw the weight room in the mornings, because he was there early anyway, due to living in a camper and needing to shower at teh school. he also drove a bigtim shaggin' wagon van with shag carpet, and was known to throw a few back from time to time.

Anyway, one time, he was telling us about a job he had at a large scale dairy. Periodically, he'd take a carton of ice cream off the line, open it, stick his finger in it, close it back up and put it back on the line, just to mess with whoever got that ice cream. The high point of the story was Louie. Louie was a large man, who stirred the vats of cottage cheese as they were being made. He also used a large cutter, to cut it into curds. The cutter for large curds had fewer tines, spread apart for larger curds of course. Sometimes, instead of using the big wooden paddle or whatever, to stir the cottage cheese, Louie would just jump in the vat and walk around to stir it up, and would often have curds stuck in his armpit hair.

The end.
