Reinventing the Wheel
Back years ago, when I still ate chicken-n-dumplings on a regular basis because we had no money (yes, it's delicious, but it was also a necessity to fill household bellies), I had used the last of a Thanksgiving turkey to make stock but had not made soup immediately.
I refrigerated the stock, which gelled beautifully, thank you, and was going to make Turkey n'Dumplins for dinner, much to the happiness of my household, when I realized I had no butter or shortening in the house.
Well, hell... How to make dumplins?
The stock had a layer of hardened fat on it, a good half inch thick, so I peeled it off and figured, "Why not?" and used that instead of another sort of fat.
As people who have done this know, it is delicious. In fact, if you're gonna make poultry n'dumplins of any sort, I highly recommend it.
I was talking to a friend about it, excited about how tasty it was, when she laughed a little and said, "What, you think you invented schmaltz?"
I'm a goy, so I had not heard of using schmaltz in cooking or even what it was.
Since that time, I make more of an effort to save rendered fat for other dishes when cooking.
I even feel a little wasteful to discard fat these days and use it when sauteeing food.

You might wake up, but you'll never be better
You might come through, but you'll always second guess
You might breathe free, but you'll never stop pacing
You might find love, but you'll always be depressed
You might change your hair, but you'll always look awkward
Your back might heal, but you'll never get your rest
You might move on, but you'll never feel important
You might be fine, but you'll never be your best
#aloha to no one#spanish love songs#schmaltz#audio#bandcamp#just felt like listening to something depressing and this song hit perfectly lol#also reminded me of that line from 17776#the best version of you is the one that mows the lawn#idk just something about accepting that you'll never be perfect and coming to terms with that ig#mine#Bandcamp

[Four to six hours. And then we'll strain it, and caught the sound of bubbling in the reeds by the bank? Exactly. Now we got some schmaltz.]

Paul and the Cheese Drama Pt. 1 of 5
In some ways, you could say that Tonight You Belong to Me represents the beginning of what I call the cheese in Paul's voice, and in his songwriting. Aside from the fact that I consider this song to be one of his best, I really think there couldn't possibly be more schmaltz, pathos, or cheese in the verses. But hey, if you want to get to the sweet fruit, you have to bite through the indigestible shell first, don't you? Ok. Then we better get started, but I warn you, it remains only with the shell in this case. I imagine Paul standing in front of the woman from the song we're talking about here. Of course, with one hand on his heart and the other gesticulating like a suffering poet trying to explain himself, and really hitting the shit out of it. After all, this lady is supposed to be his for the night, no matter how things look for both of them during the day. That would make him pretty much the nemesis of any married man, or at least of any man in a relationship.
2.5 out of 5 cheese points.
Just press play and let this cheese fly around your ears:
Tonight You Belong to Me (1978)
youtube
Let's move on to defendant number two. Also a fan favorite and coincidentally yet again not one of his worst songs, which I learned to appreciate quite late: A Million to One. The reason for the delayed appreciation? The cheese, the schmaltz and the over-the-top pathos in the verses. That comes along in this case with some extra Bayyy-beah's in the form of fistfuls of gluey sugar-honey syrup drops poured viscously on top of the cheese. I tell you, no matter how good it is with the health of the listener of these lines, after that one would be better served with a proper dose of insulin. But that is by no means the only thing they have in common. If the verses of these two songs were to visit the same club separately, you can bet they would be permanently confused with each other. You don't believe that? Listen to it yourself!
3 out of 5 cheese points.
Just press cheese and let the play fly around your ears:

Good Grief! Is this the Buddy for August 18th? I'd rather have a rock.
It's clear I didn't draw it, I just modified a drawing (it's from Wikipedia, but the original is clearly by Charles Schultz). It's Good Ol' Charlie Brown! How I hate him!
I've read my share of Peanuts strips. Who hasn't? But what I really remember is a story I read in a short essays collection about "Sparky" - the essay was talking about how Sparky was bad at everything, couldn't kick a football, couldn't fly a kite, couldn't hit a baseball... then in the end, it's revealed that Sparky was Charles Schultz's nickname as a kid. Just goes to show, even someone who thinks he isn't good at anything can become a famous and beloved comic strip artist.
But, when I read that, all I could think was, I've always wanted to be a comic strip artist, and I was never good enough for that. Good Grief!

Matrimonial Log – Star Date 5783.172
“Matrimony… the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Casamiento Segundo, its until-death-do-us-part mission… to explore a strange new relationship… to seek out a new life and new adventures… to boldly go where no sane couple has gone before.” It is tough being married to a Yankee. I have what I suppose is a bad habit. At least I have been told it is a bad habit. I see it as a…

Well fuck, I'm miserable
Which means it's me that hasn't changed
Or moved an inch out of this place
That doesn't mean I want to end up this way
