I would just pick that up and eat it straight. I love Provel. It's not gloppy when it melts... it melts pretty well. Here's the wiki entry... Provel (/proʊˈvɛl/) is a white processed cheese product particularly popular in St. Louis cuisine,[1] that is a combination of cheddar, Swiss, and provolonecheeses.[2][3][4] Provel has a low melting point, and therefore has a gooey and almost buttery texture at room temperature. It is the traditional topping for St. Louis-style pizza. It is also often used in the preparation of cheese soup and served on salads, chicken, and the Gerber sandwich. Some restaurants use Provel for their pasta dishes with white sauce instead of the customary fresh Italian cheese and cream. Popular in the St. Louis area, Provel is rarely used elsewhere.[5] Provel can, however, be purchased at Hy Vee grocery stores throughout the Midwest. According to former St. Louis Post-Dispatch food critic Joe Bonwich, Provel was invented specifically for St. Louis-style pizza more than a half-century ago by the downtown firm Costa Grocery (now Roma Grocery on the Hill, a primarily Italian St. Louis neighborhood), in collaboration with the Hoffman Dairy Company of Wisconsin (now part of Kraft Foods). Bonwich states that Provel was developed to meet perceived demand for a pizza cheese with a "clean bite": one that melts well but breaks off nicely when the diner bites down. Neither of Bonwich's sources at Kraft and Roma had a definitive answer for the origin of the name, although one popular theory is that it is a portmanteau of the words provolone and mozzarella, two of the cheeses for which it is substituted.[6] Another rumored name origin is that "Provel" comes from the name provolone, removing the "-one" as it is made up of more than one type of cheese. As a processed cheese, Provel is subject to FDA guidelines on labeling cheese.

St. Louis pizza is great, kiss my butt haters! Provel is good stuff too. Imo's is the king of St. Louis pizza, but my favorite is Fortells. Little Caesars isn't good, but I kinda like it anyway... Jet's pizza is pretty meh in my book. I've had good Detroit Style pizza. I pretty much like any style of pizza.

Vermont legalizes marijuana sales
ort replied to SaysWho?'s topic in The Political Re-Education Camp
It's starting to get a little silly. I just did some quickie math and roughly 28% of Americans can now legally buy recreational weed in their state. This sort of thing can't keep going like this... they have to just bite the bullet and legalize it federally... right? I bet it happens in the next 5-10 years. 100% legal everywhere. The cork is off the bottle and this freight train isn't turning around. -

Every democrat in the country already knows they are voting for Biden. I really think Biden needs to tweak his message to be 100% laser targeted on Republican and undecided voters who would vote for the republican candidate without pause in most years... that's your target audience. Make them not want to vote for Trump. Make them feel better about voting for you. Don't worry about your base, they are in the bag. Get these people... they are gettable this year.

Considering the age of the candidates, I think the VP debate is more important than ever this year... Biden easily won the first debate, and yet, I was not impressed with his performance at all. He just had a very low bar to clear. Biden needs to try to do whatever it takes to not have people just shake their head and say "WORST DEBATE EVER!" and have that statement apply to both candidates. Trump was the reason it was the worst debate ever, but all of my stupid right wing friends all just said "WORST DEBATE EVER! WHAT A JOKE!" and that became the whole story. Don't let that be the story. Trump shitting the bed needs to be the story.

I'm mad at myself for not wanting him to die when I learned he caught COVID-19. It would have been better if he died. Less Americans would die. It doesn't matter if he learns a lesson or not, it doesn't matter if he's around to see his fall from grace... him dying from COVID-19 would save lives. Imagine how this era of our history is going to be discussed in the coming decades? We're really living through some grade-A shit right now. This is insanity.
