*Note: cotija is a dry, crumbly Mexican cheese, sometimes referred to as the "Parmesan of Mexico". It was originally made with goat's milk but today cow's milk is preferred. This cheese is strongly flavored, firm and perfect for grating or crumbling.

I have noticed that folks are generally about as happy as they make up their minds to be.
