My daughter is a cheese weirdo. She doesn't like melted cheese. She doesn't like cheddar (orange cheese she calls it) and is only so-so on jack. What does she like you ask? Gruyere, gouda, brie with the skin cut off. Oh and yeah, she likes the fancy pants, imported from England, $12 a pound cheddar too.
I don't mind so much that she has fancy pants tastes, except that it means she's always stealing my cheese.
That's awesome. Keep her away from the Epoisses.
That's right -- I like cheese wrapped in plastic AND fancy-pants cheese!
I am not a cheese snob--I'll eat the "processed cheese food" and fancy cheese. The kids are partial to colby and I like sharp cheddar.
I am, however, an apple snob and am pretty particular about which breeds I'll eat.
Jesse's a cheese chameleon! Kat is too, if memory serves.
The 2008 IgNobel Awards are out!
I like this one:
LITERATURE PRIZE. David Sims of Cass Business School. London, UK, for his lovingly written study "You Bastard: A Narrative Exploration of the Experience of Indignation within Organizations."
This one is wrong:
NUTRITION PRIZE. Massimiliano Zampini of the University of Trento, Italy and Charles Spence of Oxford University, UK, for electronically modifying the sound of a potato chip to make the person chewing the chip believe it to be crisper and fresher than it really is.
REFERENCE: "The Role of Auditory Cues in Modulating the Perceived Crispness and Staleness of Potato Chips," Massimiliano Zampini and Charles Spence, Journal of Sensory Studies, vol. 19, October 2004, pp. 347-63.
That's good news. Now I have to start worrying that if things get too good there, the tide will swing back to McCain!
ETA: I mean the news about the Dow, but the thought of the Ignobels affecting the election is amusing me no end.
The kids are partial to colby and I like sharp cheddar.
Sharp cheddar is the best cheddar. The kids like sharp cheddar as well, especially if it is shredded.
t solemn voiceover
Can you trust President Jesse on the vital cheese questions of our day? First she says she's for plastic cheese, now she comes out in favor of liberal frou-frou cheese. What gives?
President Jesse. Wrong on cheese; wrong for America?
Dammit, now I want cheese.
