Hollandaise sauce does NOT have Velveeta in it, do you hear me????

Eeeewwww.

And I'm supposed to be on my way to lunch!

[neeuqdrazil.livejournal.com]

*whimper*

Um, ew?

[nmc.livejournal.com]

Well, of course it can have Velveeta, serene. Because, as everyone knows, cheese is a common substitute for egg yolks. They're the same color, right?

Um. Yeah.

[erik]

WHAT in the NAME OF ALL THAT IS HOLY?!
Not that Velveeta is cheese, but hollandaise doesn't have cheese at all! None! It's a hot mayonaise-like sauce - An emulsion of egg yolks and butter! NO CHEESE! NONE!

How can you cube cheese spread? That sounds very strange. I think I will go take the square root of some soup.

[nmc.livejournal.com]

Actually, with soups, you do a log computation.

(Some forms of Velveeta come in solid form, which one could then cube. Why one would buy Velveeta in said solid form is a little confusing to me, but you can. Well, OK, I suppose you'd buy it in solid form to make hollandaise, since apparently hollandaise requires Velveeta.)

[erik]

Hm. I usually bubble sort my soups before the final input.

[nmc.livejournal.com]

Well, yes, but with soups I usually do an insertion sort, and then randomize the items, and only then do a bubble sort.

[erik]

I suppose it depends on how you slice your initial data.
And to some extent what base you're working in.

[nmc.livejournal.com]

True, true.

Of course, the incompleteness of the soup calculus forbids us from stating a general law, which is a shame.

[erik]

yes. Stock soup is not P complete.

[redbird]

Alphabet soup, however, is.

[erik]

True. In fact it's NP complete as well.

[pyrzqxgl.livejournal.com]

I actually have fond memories of the five-pound blocks of the stuff that used to be given away with food stamps -- a nice haul for making omelettes, breakfast potato/onion/pepper/etc. stuff and so on -- but yeah, cubing a "spread" sounded to me about like cubing peanut butter.

I finished all my soup, except that some of it did sqrt onto the counter.

[xlerb.livejournal.com]

Huh. The Velveeta I've seen was quasi-solid and sliced with a knife by its user (not me, TYVM), not spread.

[okoshun.livejournal.com]

That's just *wrong*!

This reminds me

[dakiwiboid.livejournal.com]

of an idiot I once encountered on line (naturally) who had a "chilli" recipe which included cream, hot dogs, and about half a teaspoon of "chilli powder", and which was said to be "very hot". He was from England, as I recall.

An old friend of mine once ordered eggs benedict at a 24-hour coffee shop in Oakland, where he had eaten many times, including eggs benedict. He got poached eggs with brown gravy. He complained, and the waiter informed him that there was a new cook, and "this was this cook's recipe for hollandaise sauce."

*sigh*

*shriek*

run away!

[mhw.livejournal.com]

Oh horror, horror, horror!

Even as a crude sauce Mornay, that is exceedingly wrong.

[pir-anha.livejournal.com]

you know, i think we've had a block of velveeta in the back of the fridge for 5 or 6 years.

i bet it's still "good".

[ljgeoff.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of the Velveeta-Fudge recipe.

[fimbrethil.livejournal.com]

Ew, ew, ew!

[ailbhe]

There are so many times in my life when I assume I ought to be grateful for never having encountered Velveeta.

[epi-lj.livejournal.com]

I made some neat brownies with Velveeta once. I don't know that I'd choose to make them again (there are much better brownie recipes), but they were fun to make and they were pretty decent.

[rsc.livejournal.com]

And what's with the whole eggs?

[dryadgrl]

Ewwww. Ew. Ew. Ew!!!
That's so wrong.

If you get this, know that I don't havey our phone number. If you can either leave it here as a comment and then delete it so that I can pick it up as email, that would be swell. Otherwise leave a message on my answering machine.

My plan is to study for some amount of time in the library or the welcome center after 4pm. But I'll come by the front first to see if you're there. I have to run to class. I can easily check email without calling (no phone), but calling costs money. So my preference is either email me or show up. Blah. I should have planned this better.

Oh, my ick.
