There was a New England Cheese House (store) franchise when I was little. I remember one, I think in southern Maine. Here's the Vermont one. [link]
Sadly, it is not actually made of cheese but, when I was little, I was just delighted to drive by it.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

I somehow got the idea that there might be a house made of cheese and I am very into that. I mean, it wouldn't last long as a shelter, but it would be glorious.
Did I mention here that Aldi is going to have a cheese Advent calendar this year? ::ahem:: ALDI IS GOING TO HAVE A CHEESE ADVENT CALENDAR THIS YEAR!
Also a wine advent calendar, but honestly, I don't drink enough alcohol to get that one. But when the cheese one is available, I am all about that one.

Yeah, if you live in an edible house, it better be edible. Otherwise, what's the point? What do you do if you wake up peckish in the middle of the night and can't gnaw on your windowsill?

Further thought: Peanut butter curtains.

Right?
Cheese advent calendar sounds like the best thing ever. I would like to have a cheese advent calendar and a wine advent calendar for a little daily treat. Do I have to celebrate Christmas to get these? Or know what an Aldi is?
I'm not sure about this peanut butter curtain idea. I mean,, adding peanut butter to the chocolate house in some way, yes, but I don't know if curtains are right. Seems like they would just ooze to the floor.

I've seen chocolate advent calendars, but cheese sounds better ... as long as the cheese is fairly fresh.

So I'm going to Disney World in a couple of weeks with my family. Disney tells me they shipped my MagicBand. USPS claimed they delivered it last week while I was in Arizona. I get home and do not find the package, so I assume it was stolen. I call Disney and they say they'll ship a new MagicBand to the resort we're staying in. Last night, a week after it was "delivered", I find a package in my lobby with the original tracking number.
Do I call Disney again and let them know it wasn't stolen after all, or do I just pick up the replacement MagicBand when I get to Florida?

Hell, no! Maybe you could celebrate Cheesemas.
Or know what an Aldi is?
Do y'all not have Aldi in California? t edit I checked their website, and it looks like southern California (like, south of Bakersfield) has Aldi stores. You guys are missing out!

It happened again, this time in Sweden.

Very exciting; I just saw a sign the other day that we're getting an Aldi!
Thoughts on the chocolate house: when you first enter, it probably smells AMAZING. Other than that, meh.
Jesse, I downloaded that Trivia game last night. Hopefully I did the referral code thing right.
