That might work, but then she might forget the wrap.

Can apply for your castle staff?

Can you run fast? Janet has been complaining about how boring plinking at stationary targets at the range here is.

Not too fast, but I can zigzag pretty well.

Why cheese on everything?

*vague shrug* Don't question me as to why cheese tastes good on nearly everything. I've got nothing substantial to do with the fact that cheese is one of the foods of the gods. CWHW stands self-evident. It's frankly telling I only had to swap one letter to get that jest to fit. Even Abraham knew that cheese is like unto YWHW, and he didn't even use an alphabet that it fits well in. I'm guessing, anyway, since I don't exactly know hebrew or whatev'.

Seriously though, cheese popcorn is solid, plain popcorn with cheese melted over it is quite decent, plain popcorn with cheese powders of varying sorts applied is also pretty alright.

There's a short list of foods that don't go well with cheese, and an many-times-exponentially-larger list of foods that do. Cheese is great.

And to be fair, it's not cheese on everything. Just almost everything. Everything cheese improves, which is nearly everything edible and some things that aren't.

E: What I'm saying, is that when the Grecians spoke of the Ambrosia of Olympus, they were talking about a fine cup of melted Gouda. Deal with it

And if one kind of cheese doesn't work with something? Try a different kind. I'll second the food-of-the-gods sentiment.

I must be a heathen then, for the food of the gods turns to brimstone and thunder in my body.

Although, I've had good results with drinking filmjölk with, or shortly after eating dairy. Seems to counteract the lactose-intolerance pretty well. Which is just kinda WTF on its own -- I'm dealing with an inability to digest milk, by drinking fermented milk.

Relevant on multiple levels.

It makes sense. Fermentation works on feeding bacteria (or yeasts) substance A and receiving substance B as a byproduct of them processing what they ate. In this case, you're putting in bacteria that feed on lactose, so they eat it up so you don't have to.

Yeah, but the general issue of lactose-intolerance is caused precisely by bacteria eating all the lactose (substance A) and producing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane and pure hate (substances B-E).

I guess maybe these bacteria reside higher up in the digestive tract? So they eat it up and produce lactic acid and rainbows and fluffy kittens, depriving their evil brethren down the pipe?

Actually, lactose intolerance, as far as I know, is caused by the inability of the body of an adult or child to produce the enzyme lactase, which is required for lactose breakdown.  Lactose TOLERANCE is actually a genetic mutation, seen in the genetics of the world's herding cultures.

Actually, it depends. Large dieoffs of gut flora can in fact be very bad for you. There is an honest-to-god faeces transplant operation some people have been given in order to repopulate their intestines.

Though people can survive without gut flora, the microorganisms perform a host of useful functions, such as fermenting unused energy substrates, training the immune system, preventing growth of harmful, pathogenic bacteria, regulating the development of the gut, producing vitamins for the host, such as biotin and vitamin K, and producing hormones to direct the host to store fats. However, in certain conditions, some species are thought to be capable of causing disease by producing infection or increasing cancer risk for the host.

Wow, everything causes cancer.   We need an advisory.

There are some disturbing things on that list.  And I don't mean like "holy shit I could die from that" disturbing, I mean...

The sheer amount of people who did have sex with animals is the most disturbing part.
