Have a gouda day

How can anyone govern a nation that has two hundred and forty-six different kinds of cheese?

Cheese.  Cheesey. Cheeeeese.  Third of all food groups.  After bacon and cereal, of course, but before dessert.  Like bacon, it makes everything better (except cereal):  burgers, omelets, sandwiches, pasta, fries, and even desserts (cheesecake, anyone?).   Who can forget the cheese steak?

Now, I'm no cheese snob.  I do appreciate a good gouda, a festive feta or a regal parmigiano-reggiano.  I can eat an edam, grub a gruyere, or partake of a provolone.  I can not however condone cottage, goat, toe, or limburger cheese.  I could take or leave your brie, mozzarella, chihuahua or mascarpone.  My favorites, however, are jarlsberg, bleu, port wine, swiss, and good old American.

My bride likes a sharp cheddar. You can take the girl out of the midwest....

Josh likes a tasty macaroni esconced in cheese (fettucini al fredo for kids).  And Jilly likes any and all cheeses in stick form.




I went into a French restaraunt and asked the waiter, 'Have you got frog's legs?' He said, 'Yes,' so I said, 'Well hop into the kitchen and get me a cheese sandwich.'
