Because books.

I won't even eat bleu cheese, or Swiss unless it's melted or in a quiche, but I love brie! So it surprises me that it might come off as too strong for others.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Ummmm....

Carly Houston Calls 911 From Jail Cell, Says Police 'Trapped' Her

A Chicago woman arrested for disorderly conduct in west suburban Naperville faces further charges after she used her one phone call from jail to dial 911 and say police were holding her against her will.

Carly Houston, 29, allegedly harassed a cab driver early Sunday, leading the frightened man to call police, Naperville police Cmdr. Mike Anders told the Naperville Sun.

...

At the station, an officer brought Houston a telephone and told her she could make one call to find someone to post her bail, the Naperville Sun reports.

Instead, she called 911, which connected her to Naperville police dispatchers and said she was "trapped inside the detention facility," police said.

Houston was charged with making a false 911 report, theft of labor or services, criminal trespass to land and disorderly conduct--all misdemeanors. She was released on bail and is due in court April 20.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I have no texture issues. I think there may be one or two extremely pungent stinky cheeses that I haven't been wild about, but for the most part I love 'em all. Hard, soft, gooey, crumbly, smelly, mild, creamy, tangy, rinded, naked, infused with booze, studded with nuts, layered with completely different cheeses.

Oh, cheese. You and your thousand darling selves. Never leave me, my dearest.

To all you anti-strong-cheese people, I say More Epoisses For Me.

ION, I just remembered I have a board meeting tonight. Do I change back into real pants or just go in my pajama bottoms? We're a pretty casual board...

Keep everyone off-balance. Wear your evil clown costume.

So it surprises me that it might come off as too strong for others.

My dad used to get some brie from our Auntie Mamie that stank out the refrigerator.

I have mould issues, but will eat mild blue cheese.

With strong cheeses, it's always the smell, not the taste that turns me off when it does.

So even though movie night was cancelled, work-cancelled had a DAY, so she climbed over the railing with a bottle of wine and we talked for the past hour and she had some feline therapy. So it was good. And she'll be coming with the farmers' market crew Saturday, so I can introduce them all.

So fun. So funny I'm the neighborhood connector.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I had no idea you could get Kraft powdered orange cheese outside of a macaroni box.

I now fear for humanity.

You only need fear when I run out of it.

And the texture of the canned stuff is somewhat...grainier? coarser? than the packet that comes in the box of mac & cheese. The stuff in the box is very finely powdered, and the canned stuff is less so.

I feel the need to point out that I love real cheese, too. A nice Emmental is the bees knees.
