  1. I've having more tooth work done here in the near future
    (starting today). They're finally going to fix the one that they
    should have pulled last time, but pulled the wrong one (and
    fractured my jaw/tooth socket among other things).

    I've just recently tried cottage cheese for the first time (yes,
    it's true) and I see a fair amount of large curd 4% in my near
    future, since it's soft and pretty tasty.

    Tonight I tried sriracha (with an avocado, too). Sriracha has
    it's place but not on cottage cheese, IMO. What kinds of
    seasoning do people put on their cottage cheese? Savory
    suggestions, no fruit, please. Something I can taste over the
    pain killers.

    No fruit??? That is the best way to eat cottage cheese. It is great with
    canned peaches or pears.

    Well, that kills a buncha great stuff. If I'm out of fruit, I just
    sprinkle a little coarse ground black pepper. Forget the salt. Most
    cottage cheese is already too salty, though I think I recently saw
    some no-salt cottage cheese.

    Dayam! There's a lawsuit in your future?

    Dill weed. Maybe a little onion powder?

    I drain most of the whey/cream from my cottage cheese. That
    removes a lot of the salt since the salt is not added to the curd
    itself, but rather afterwards.

    I save the cream/whey for other stuff.

    Mrs Dash seasoning salt isn't bad
    My Daddy used to add mayo to cottage cheese, I don't know why, then coarse
    ground pepper
    a bit of crabmeat pulsed in the processor

    good luck

    I hate dental work with a passion. Probably has something to do with not
    being able to have local anesthetics.

    Well, not really. I finally wrote the formal complaint this last
    weekend (as the tooth started hurting once again) and sent it on
    Monday (yesterday). The director of the clinic called me today
    at work and informed me that the dentist who did the initial work
    took his own life just last week.

    I had been holding off writing that complaint for months. I'm
    glad a waited another week (since I had to write it sometime).
    Sure, I could probably sue the clinic, but in light of recent
    events... It just wouldn't be right. That would be a Morrow
    Move. The dentist had a localized form of cancer.

    They've offered to fix it. I figure when I'm 90, at least I'll
    still have at least this one tooth left.

    Fresh would be a possibility. I don't do dried onion or dill.
    Or rarely, I should say. I'm trying to think of other soft
    things I can mix with it, too.

    Italian Seasoning (do diced tomatoes count as fruit?)

    Not bad. I might have to warm it up, though. And add some pasta ... and
    tomatoes and garlic and parmesan cheese and black olives ...

    Tomatoes are a good idea - those I eat, but technically a fruit.
    Parmesan cheese and olives, too, if I warm it up a bit. I'm new
    to cottage cheese - Does it heat well or just separate?

    I like it with dill as well; I also like it with green pepper strips/dice

    Stuff a fresh ripe tomato w/ cottage cheese. Add little salt and pepper.
    Enjoy!

    Paprika goes nicely, as does fresh black pepper. I also like garlic
    and/or onion powder, and/or celery salt. (not necessarily all at once)
    Hubby likes to make what he calls 'cottage cheese salad' which consists
    of cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and Ranch dressing. I don't eat it
    that way, but he claims it's the best thing ever.
    I also like to make tuna salad (no celery for you, I'm guessing) and put
    a scoop of that and a scoop of cottage cheese on some shredded
    lettuce... maybe slice up a hard-boiled egg to go with that.
    It's not bad with hummus, either... not necessarily mixed together, but
    eaten along with.

    TFM® usually grinds black pepper on his and he chops up tomatoes in it, too.
    That's about as savory as we get. (But we both love the large curd - full
    fat, of course!)

    I've eaten it heated, but haven't been excited about the results.
    It's been quite awhile, so I don't remember the particulars.

    BUT ... I've thought of something else that's good on cottage cheese.
    Cinnamon!

    I don't know if the wounds in your mouth could handle it, but I'll bet
    Frank's hot sauce would be great with cottage cheese.

    More thinking ....

    It separates a little. Think of it as kind of a chunkier ricotta. Use it
    as you would ricotta.
