It all started with dinner. <\/p>\n
Paddy asked if I wanted Parmesan for my pizza. I declined. He asked Lily if she wanted some, she said ewww because she is 8. <\/p>\n
Cheese, Paddy said, is good on everything. <\/p>\n
I concurred. <\/p>\n
“Is it good on apples?”<\/p>\n
Yes. <\/p>\n
“Salmon?”<\/p>\n
Yes, cream cheese. <\/p>\n
“Beer?”<\/p>\n
Maybe not beer. <\/p>\n
“Gas cans?”<\/p>\n
Are they clean gas cans?<\/p>\n
“Let’s say they’ve been used by a lot of people.”<\/p>\n
Then no. I don’t think you can count stuff that isn’t food though. <\/p>\n
“Ice cream?”<\/p>\n
Yep. <\/p>\n
“No way.”<\/p>\n
Remember the pear-Gorgonzola ice cream? Gorgonzola is cheese.<\/p>\n
“Anyway, I don’t like cheese anymore.”<\/p>\n
Why not?<\/p>\n
“Cheese has a terrible personality!”<\/p>\n
It does? Why is that?<\/p>\n
“Cheese is a goody goody. Always pretending to like everyone.”<\/p>\n
Maybe cheese is just nice. <\/p>\n
“No, cheese is all sophisticated.”<\/p>\n
Sophisticated?<\/p>\n
“Like at the Tillamook Cheese Factory. The cheese is all ‘Oooh, I am sooo fancy.’ The cheese at the Blue Heron isn’t like that at all. “<\/p>\n
So beware of sophisticated, goody two shoes cheese. Just pretending to like everyone. Do not be fooled. <\/p>\n
