  • Ah okay, that makes sense. The parm we got was marked “aged over 10 months” and it did seem a bit less dry than some of the more aged ones we’ve used in the past. We did just use the smallest side on the box grater though, not a microplane, so it’s definitely possible that it needed to be more finely grated. And that’s a great tip about just doing it w the pasta water at first, then adding in the butter, that sounds like a safer way to do it. And I’ve heard folks talking about using the sodium citrate in cheese dishes before but I’ve never actually tried it… Thanks so much! :)














  • Yess! Our local convenience store honored it, too! It had to be the complete image, if it was partially cut off, it didn’t count! I didn’t know it was never the intent… I remember going through the bin trying to see which ones had a star visible without unwrapping them… Haha.

    And now this is reminding me of also trying to peer up through the 20oz soda bottles without opening them in hopes of being able to read the inside of the caps so I could get a free one. Heh.
