    Cheese... ricotta?


    For stuffed shells, it better not be Cheddar or some other abomination. Yes, ricotta and mozzarella all the way, please.

    My exact thoughts! No need to prolong calf suffering.

    I have absolutely no idea why this makes me think of the "sacred" cows
    in India which are literally starving. Apparently they are so holy they
    are capable of taking care of themselves without any human intervention.
    Walking skin and bones dropping dead by the side of the road but hey,
    at least they aren't being eaten.


    When I lived in India for nine months on a music research grant, I wanted to make conversation during one of my first long drives to the archive, so I asked
    my driver why the cow is sacred to Hindus. He answered, "Cow is our mother. Would you kill your mother?" I had no cogent rebuttal.
