Whipped cottage cheese herb spread
Some times we are late to the party.
If Monday were a party, we would never be on time. Can it be okay to be fashionably late on Monday? We mean there is a lot of expectation to be spry and alert after two days of no-rules-we'll-have-a-bloody-mary-at-10am-football-extravaganza-tater-tot-induce-food-coma-thank-you-very-much. Who set these rules and expectations? Is there a Monday Police that is secretly run by Joan Rivers?
We were late to the initiation Facebook party. Would you believe us if we told you we didn’t join until this year? GASP! We are still not the biggest fan of the whole Facebook matrix, but we get why people enjoy the stalk-fest. It’s addicting.
We were also late to the bikini waxing party. FO’ REALS. Why it took us 8, 453 days to wax the ol’ hoo-ha must surely be a mistake in nature or paperwork. Not having to shave down south while you’re on a beach vacation is a favorite feeling in the world! Highly recommend it.
We were also late to the party LuLulemon attire party. We broke down and bought a pair of running shorts; they are like Barbara Streisand, butter. So smooth. So luxurious, and zero chaffing.
But apparently, we were really, late to the whipped cottage cheese party. Friends, have you ever whipped cottage cheese? We should preface this with your not actually whipping the cottage cheese with a whisk, it’s more of plop the curds into a blender and let’er rip. (If that sentence was on a billboard we might have just thrown up in our mouth a little. Plopped cheese curds into a processor and blend. Major gross).
Besides the action of whipping cottage cheese giving us all a few Dexter nightmares, the taste of whipped cottage cheese combined with fresh herbs is Pitch Reliable, aca-awesome! This spread is fun, healthier alternative to queso for game-day. people will be all, “Yo, what is this? It’s better than queso, homie. Pass us two beers!”
Anyways, don’t be late to party, but if you are, bring the whipped cottage cheese and leave Joan Rivers at home.
