I'd like to give myself a personal culinary reward for _____
Soup! And even though I've heard folks say that soup is about the easiest thing in the world to cook, I have had some HORRID soup in my time (and I'm all of 22!) The best one? I make some of the creamiest potato soup ever; it's a favorite around the house.
Is there one dish that you simply are unable to master?
Gravy, even though it's more of a condiment than a dish. Doesn't matter how I do it, or the recipe I use..it's either going to be too thick (i.e: cut with knife) or too thin (i.e: gravy soup). Just terrible. And I really love a good sausage gravy on my biscuits for breakfast!

I eat ____ with cottage cheese
I like my cottage cheese spooned over scrambled eggs, then sprinkled with pepper. At least I do for breakfast. Any other time, I like it with pineapple.
Small curd, no preference for fat content. I'll take anything from full to 1%. I like the biggest tub of cottage cheese one can find...only because I know I don't have to share, and can eat as much as I like.

I love how threads get resurrected!
I'm not a cottage cheese fan....I've never been able to get past the squeekiness (yes...that's a word! lol)...when you eat it.
I eat ____ with cottage cheese
I prefer 4%, but 2% is... barely OK. I like it plain, with fruits, usually peaches or pears, scrambled into buttery eggs, in kugel with crushed pineapple, with lemon curd, with apple butter and I haven't had it in YEARS, but I used to love it in the lime jello thing with crushed pineapple. It was commonly served with tomatoes (from the garden) when I was a kid, but I haven't served it that way in my home.
My grandmother liked hers with a big dollop of mayonnaise and black pepper from the big, square Schilling or Safeway brand cans. It seems like there were only about three cans and one plastic shaker the whole time I was growing up. Since they were probably one pound cans, that may be an accurate count. Really, it's no wonder I thought I didn't like pepper as a kid.
I eat ____ with cottage cheese
4%, small curd, usually the generic conventional brand (although I want to start making my own from scratch, per Alton's recipe). I can't stand Breakstone's, and find the organic stuff to be too sour to me - cottage cheese should be creamy!
I usually eat it plain, although I like it with bananas and raisins, or with chili and garlic powder, or as a cheap substitute for ricotta in Ameritalian recipes, or with sliced cucumbers and a little lemon, or (before I was allergic to 'em) as bell pepper dip, or with my sugar-coated breakfast cereal in lieu of milk (strangely tasty) ... I like cottage cheese.

I eat ____ with cottage cheese
My father used to eat it salted with a liberal application of black pepper after having slathered the top with a healthy (unhealthy?) amount of soft butter. It was the ONLY way he'd take it.
I eat ____ with cottage cheese
I *adore* cottage cheese. 2-4% large curd if I can find it. Two favourite meals with cottage cheese are as follows:
One lightly toasted English muffin, 2 boiled eggs, a spoonful of cottage cheese sprinkled with cracked pepper and ample amounts of hot sauce. *drool*
Canned albacore tuna, drained then mixed with half cottage cheese and half salsa. Consume fishy dip atop wasabröd. MMMMM :D

I eat ____ with cottage cheese
I remember the first time I saw someone put salt and pepper on cottage cheese... :o I thought it was the strangest thing I had ever seen.
I've always been a "fruit adder" when it comes to cottage cheese. Pineapple, berries, you name it. I also love it on toast with a good strawberry preserve or orange marmalade.
I have yet to try it with salt and pepper.

About: I'm an aspiring teacher and writer who loves to read about good food almost as much as I love cooking and eating it!
Favorite foods: Wow. I don't have enough room to write everything, but, ice cream (any flavor), ciabatta bread, watermelon, strawberries, avocados, roasted chicken, olives, mozzarella cheese, and chocolate name a few. Mmm...chocolate....*drool*
Last bite on earth: Ah man. I'd have to say my last bite on earth would have to be from a bowl of my mother's chicken and dumplings. That dish is amazing..especially with a freshly baked biscuit with butter.
