Crazy 'bout Cheese!

Boy, oh boy, I love cheese! Sometimes I get a really hankering for a hunk of cheese. Now I'm not the only one that likes cheese. Cheese is internationally loved! At the closest grocery store to my home, there is a cheese station! Every time I walk by I want to grab a chunk of cheese to take home. When I don't take one, it usually dives me crazy!

Cheese is such a part of life. When you are young you are exposed to cheese at an early stage (usually not until after the first birthday, doctor's orders.) Youngsters are brought into the cheese world slowly, first introduced to milk, then maybe some yogurt, them BAM! Macaroni and Cheese! I know, it's processed but cheese nonetheless. Then we move into grilled cheese sandwiches, ham and cheese sandwiches. Then we start sprinkling cheese on our eggs in the morning and then slip into a cheese frenzy and cheese is everywhere! We even say "Cheese" when taking pictures! It's crazy!

Now, at least for my generation, there are a couple of important figures obsessed by the milk product. First one I can think of is Monterey Jack, "Monty" to his friends. He was on Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. He went bonkers when cheese was around. His mustache would twist, his eyes would go crazy, and he would just have to have some cheese. (Just ask my wife, these same symptoms occur at the grocery store for me!)

Second icon that loved cheese is someone I always looked up to; Steve Urkel! Yup! The crazy neighbor to the Winslow's on Family Matters. He was crazy about cheese too. When he got the sense of cheese around, he would start this wiggling in his body and melt to the wishes of whom ever had the tasty morsel. (Once again, another symptom I exhibit.)

So when it comes down to it, cheese is fantastic! I can eat it with macaroni, I like it melted between two slices of bread, I like it with crackers, I even just like to eat it straight from the wheel! So if anyone reading this wants to send me something nice, make it cheese!
