Likewise @cdpm. Home-made soups and stews taste far better than commercial varieties as a rule.

A snack food made of corn and supposedly cheese.
And very salty. It's light and puffy. They melt in your mouth.
Sometimes called cheese puffs.
Pretty much a bad food.

Ricotta cheese mixed in cottage cheese and a few slices of the soft soft mozzarella cheese I found.
I just wanted to add that my posting time doesn't always match when I eat/ate.

Best wishes for a steady recovery.
