Amanda is a BU gastronomy grad who is still getting used to repeating herself when people ask what she's studying. Although it took her longer than the average human to like all kinds of cheese besides the gooey stuff on pizza, Amanda is now proud to be a gorgonzola lover, brie bandwagoner, and pumpkin cheesecake baker. |

Curds and Whey March 01, 2013 Of all things cheese-related, almost everyone loves to hate cottage cheese. I admit, I was a part of the cottage cheese-hating fan club—and why? What did cottage cheese ever do to me? Was it the lunch snack mix-up in grade school, when I mistook cottage cheese for rice pudding? Was it my arachnophobia and the Miss Muffet nursery rhyme... |
