After Dad’s triple bypass, we drove to Vegas to visit. While grocery
shopping, I saw some Cottage Doubles. Remembering that he liked
cottage cheese with a bit of sugar on top, I bought a few and took
them home. He tried the Apple Cinnamon flavor first.

“Not bad,” he said. ”How much was it?”

“$.99 on sale,” I replied.

“Seems to me a guy could buy a big tub of cottage cheese and a jar of
apple butter for a few dollars and have the same damn thing, and it
would last longer.”

Thus was born the Lyle Johnson Special.
