RANT: Cheese and Chocolate

CHEESE AND CHOCOLATE

Cheese

Maybe not together. But I want both, daily. I never want chocolate for breakfast. I always want it after lunch. And Dinner. And Dessert. But cheese I could have anytime, anywhere.

I once read how a talented, less-than-perfect-appearing actress lost weight by “breaking up with cheese”.  Poor thing.

For me, Chocolate is like a lover and Cheese is my friend.

To My Dear Friend, Cheese,

Could we ever part? I like you when you are cold, I love you when you are warm. I like you with wine, I like you atop a MacIntosh apple. I like you floating in a soup, I like you deep fried with sauce.  I like you melted over warm crispy bread.  You have many forms, and I have not found a version of you I don’t so enjoy.  Thank you for your comfort and nourishment.

Love Always,

Madeleine

  1. I have given up cheese for a while (supporting my husband in a quest to get rid of microscopic colitis), but I don’t think I could give up chocolate. It is indeed like a lover, isn’t it?
