Say Cheese

Dear Cheese:

I love you. You have been my passion for as long as I can remember. As many years as we have spent in each other’s company, I can truly say that you never cease to amaze and excite me.  Although it’s true that at first my mother encouraged our relationship, I know I would have fallen in love with you if left on my own to discover and explore your essence.  I treasure it when you’re playful with me — teasing me with your mild Muenster, your Mozzarella and Havarti that melt in my mouth like butter. I cherish your strength and arrogance when you appear as Roquefort or aged Brick and I am infatuated with your Cheddar personalities — whether you are feeling mild, medium or sharp tempered, I simply adore you.  No matter how many of my close friends adopt strict vegan diets and refuse to let you sit at their tables, I will not abandon you.  What you and I experience is unmistakably true love.

Love, Mary
