Here I thought they kinda looked like cookies :p
Oh interesting, I'll have to give rinsing off the cellulose a shot.
Onomatopoeia also mentioned that it's a very dry parmesan, so I'm thinking round two will involve reducing the amount of cellulose, mixing the cheese with a bit of extra fat, and then spreading thinly to bake. Fingers crossed!
So I've managed to end up with two Costco-sized containers of Kraft grated parmesan. I'll reach for real parmesan 95% of the time, with Kraft being an occasional nostalgia pick, but these will go bad long before I can get through them at my normal consumption. The containers are both opened, so can't donate and I'm loathe to waste food, so been trying to think of ways to use it all up.
These sad, dense, salt pucks (with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning) were an attempt to make parmesan crisps. Thinking of trying again with smaller spoonfuls spread thinner, but don't know if the cellulose additive makes the endeavor hopeless.

Beer was from a bar where the Tall Ship Providence is docked, which even down rigged was pretty cool to see.
Oh interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks for the advice!
It's fun to see them hybridize, a few years back I grew standard green tomatillos, followed the next year by some purple and yellow varieties in the same spot. I haven't purposefully planted them since, but these multicolor volunteers keep coming back. This year I'm seeing two distinct growth patterns, with some staying low to the ground and others getting quite tall.
Definitely has point coloration in the coat, but Siamese cats have more angular faces and lanky bodies, though I'm not sure how much that shows in kittens. Wish you'd kept the sweet lil guy!
Excellent search suggestion, that material looks identical to the cherry exterior! The inside has a plastic ball with a little bead that rattles and the stem is just a glued on bit of string.
I do wonder what it is about this toy that makes it the one for her. She'll come when she hears the rattle, but still chases crushed cherries that no longer make noise, and I don't think the stem matters too much, so it must be that crinoline material in a ball shape. I might buy some and see if I could make new toys she'd like. Thank you!
Her favorite cherry toy was out of stock for years, now it's back and I bought a lifetime supply!

Posting in case this helps someone else. This Leaps and Bounds cherry toy was the very first toy I bought for her as a kitten, and she must have imprinted on it, as six years later it is still the ONLY toy she will play with.
They're rather fragile, easy to crush if stepped on, and fall apart after a few months of regular play. Knowing how much she loved them I would grab spares whenever I could, but a few years ago they went out of stock and didn't come back.
Every time I brought out a fresh cherry from the dwindling stash she would get SO excited, so I searched high and low, desperate to find more. If you read the reviews on Petco, there's other people with cats who've fixated on these cherries, and I found similar threads on Reddit.
It's been years, but I still search semi-regularly, and imagine my joy when I realized they were back in stock! Stupidly, it's listed as part of a random assortment, so I decided to order 100 of them, hoping for a third to be cherries but happy to get any at all.
32 pairs - 64 cherries! A lifetime supply of her favorite toy for my picky little baby <3
Was my first time canning beans, had a bit of syphoning but otherwise went well!
I did GATE (Gifted and Talented Education) from fourth through eighth grade and went with an AP-heavy high school (graduated in 2010) instead of an IB school in the district, and I'd say it left similar scars.
There were aspects that I think were beneficial, such as specialized math tutoring and more hands-on projects, but god the pressure and workload was truly damaging at such a young age. Add undiagnosed ADHD, and you've got an 11 year old self-harming as a method to stay focused during the hours and hours of daily homework.
That eclipse photo is absolutely stupendous, worthy of its own post! Are those brighter trio of stars planets?
Hah! Then a few minutes later, Reid comments how the moon now appears 3-4 times larger than the earth, and mission control responds with "Amaze Amaze Amaze!"
Wow, what a moment, right after breaking Apollo 13's record, they asked to name a crater after Integrity and then one for Commander Wiseman's late wife Carroll. Got me tearing up right with them.
Hey it's in the name, half milk and half cream! ;D
I remember being surprised when traveling as a kid that the "default" dairy items I grew up with in the US were not in fact universally standard.
I'm pretty excited for this, I'm rarely disappointed by anything produced by A24, and I'm especially a fan of their horror and horror-adjacent films. Also pretty cool that it's directed by the kid who made the first Backrooms short, can't imagine directing a film while only 20 years old.
I had been thinking of doing avocado as a fatty pate equivalent, but the last one I had ended up being too far gone :(
A mushroom pate is a great idea, I'll have to try that.
Shot from the night before which shows the interior:
I pressed slices of firm tofu on towels to pull out excess moisture before marinading it in a blend of garlic, ginger, lime, fish sauce, and hoisin, and then searing. Topped with fresh mint, cilantro, parsley, cucumber, and serrano, as well as some quick pickled carrot, red onion, and radish. I also added some leftover herbed yogurt sauce for the heck of it, which turned out pretty good.
