Macaroni and cheese-like substance.

[growler_south]

Brian introduced me to an American comfort food classic last night- macaroni and cheese (pronounced "macancheez"). Tasty macaroni and something called Velveeta, which allegedly Melts easier than cheddar, has 1/3 less fat than cheddar!. I contended that wax, glue, and grease also had those properties, but Brian told me to shut up.

I had to admit that, apart from the melted Velveeta's tendency to glom onto the roof of my mouth in a most un-cheeselike fashion, it was rather pleasant, and more so with a heap of pepper on top.

Now I'll have to introduce Brian to bacon and egg sandwiches.

Sci-Tech Encyclopedia: Alginate

A major constituent (10–47% dry weight) of the cell walls of brown algae. Extracted for its suspending, emulsifying, and gelling properties, it is one of three algal polysaccharides of major economic importance, the others being agar and carrageenan. The chief sources of alginate are members of the family Fucaceae (rockweeds) and the order Laminariales (kelps), harvested from naturally occurring stands on North Atlantic and North Pacific shores.

Because of its colloidal properties, alginate finds numerous industrial applications, especially in the food, textile, paper, printing, paint, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. About half of the consumption is in the making of ice cream and other dairy products, in which alginate prevents the formation of coarse ice crystals and provides a smooth texture. As an additive to paint, it keeps the pigment in suspension and minimizes brush marks. An alginate gel is used in making dental impressions.

Alginate...not just for paint anymore!

Yummy delicious Alginate!
