I just finished chowing down on some cottage cheese smeared on bread with yellow bell pepper. The cottage cheese that you find here is worthy enough of leaving everything you know behind in the United States and uprooting to Austria.

Gatekeeper, Seasons Wait for Your Nod
It’s amazing how quickly you forget about the conditions in which you were living weeks, if not days, ago.
