My parents like cottage cheese, they make it all the time; each time they get quite a lot of skim milk, sometimes at least 10 liters, so I just use what I have. If I start separating the cream and move from pancakes to angel wings, where will I put all this skim milk?

I always like to offer solutions. BTW, I make my own cheese, but I use whole milk, (4%)
Do this with your cheese. Skim milk cheese will work just fine.

It's very delicious, but I can't eat it)) The fact is that such cottage cheese casseroles are too common here. When I went to school at the age of 7, we were fed this casserole in the cafeteria. I studied at school for 11 years, and all these 11 years we were fed this casserole. Then I studied at the university, and at the same time worked at a food factory. There was a canteen there and there... we were also fed this casserole.
As a result, I got very tired of it and I stopped eating it))
It’s about the same with my father - he can’t eat pearl barley (barley) porridge. When he served in the army, there was always this porridge in the canteen, in addition, most canned food in the army was also made from this porridge. It is tasty and filling, but my father served in the army for 25 years, and during these 25 years he began to hate this porridge. And when we prepared it at home, he flatly refused.
However, later, when another 20 years had passed, he began to buy and eat it, we were very surprised. It’s just that after 20 years he got used to it and he wanted this porridge.
Probably when I'm older. In 20 years I will want cottage cheese casserole. But now no, now I don’t want to eat it at all )))
In Russia it’s often like this, we’ve been eating the same thing for decades and it gets boring)) I remember when the first McDonald’s opened in Moscow, we didn’t have such food, we didn’t know burgers at all, we just ate sandwiches with sausage. As a result, the line at this McDonald's lined up almost three streets long.
Then, twenty years later, many people got tired of burgers, and everyone began to become increasingly interested in Japanese and Chinese cuisine. After another 10 years, she also got tired of it, and Central Asian tents with shawarma and all kinds of tandoori pastries became popular.
Nowadays it’s really a hellish mess; in Russia all the cuisines are mixed, and people cook whatever they want. Moreover, foreign cuisine is often distorted, and the result is who knows what. Either Italian pizza with pineapples, or Japanese rice rolls with mayonnaise, or fish, obviously prepared according to a Korean recipe, but for some reason, instead of rice, it comes with potatoes, and even with dill.
And only cottage cheese casserole floats among all this like an unsinkable battleship, with a recipe that seems to have remained unchanged for at least a century. The same cottage cheese and the same raisins that have been terribly boring to me since childhood. But honestly, for 11 years at school we ate casserole with raisins every day.
There was variety when it came to pancakes - one of my grandmothers prepared them using soda and sour milk, the other made them with yeast using kefir. That's why I'm not tired of pancakes )))

That's in Branson. I'm not far away. Unfortunately a large storm came in suddenly a couple years back and capsized one. It was a terrible tragedy. They closed after that.

I know what Jerk sauce is. Had it a number of times in a Jamaican cuisine cooking. Was at the store, and this got my attention.
The term "JERK," has a slang meaning.
an annoyingly stupid or foolish person. was acting like a jerk. b. : an unlikable person. especially : one who is cruel, rude, or small-minded.

Jerk chicken is the best.
