I think my favorite kind of cheese is going
to a boring blog, but I’ll do it anyway
I doubt that I have the same wealth of
cheese knowledge that you do, Andrew, being morbidly obese and all, but I’ll do
my best.
My favorite kind of cheese would have to be
Jarlsberg. I wouldn’t pick cheddar because it’s too common and obvious a
choice, and I only know of those fancy, sour, bitter, moldy cheeses besides
cheddar, so my answer is Jarlsberg.
We don’t often have Jarlsberg, but when we
do, I make sure to carve out at least some of it for myself. This is much
easier to do seeing as neither of you live at home anymore, but I still have to
race to beat dad. It is quite a different texture to other cheeses. It’s more
rubbery, and more robust, and probably wouldn’t melt if you left it in the sun
(not that any cheese really does, it just gets more flexible.) But it also has
a nice taste. Cheddar tastes like cheddar, and pizza tastes like pizza, and the
others taste all bitter and gooey.
It can be used for any kind of sandwhich or
wrap you want, is also good to melt on thing like pasta and grilled
sandwhiches. So it tastes nice, is versatile, and easier to come by.
But on a more serious note (huh Andrew? You
want us to lighten up? Well you didn’t listen to me when you were wiring our
speaker system backwards, so I’m not going to listen to you,) our favorite
cheese can be something of an indicator of who we are.
Cheeses come in all different varieties.
There are hard cheeses, soft cheeses, cheeses that are meant to be grated,
cheeses that are meant to be sliced. Those meant to be melted, those meant to
be spread on crackers, and those meant to be eaten alone. Everything we do
forms a part of who we are (something Dan, you’ll definitely agree on,) no
matter how minor, like what our favorite cheese is.
My favorite kind of cheese is a sturdy,
non-gooey, very elastic cheese that is general purpose. What does that say
about me? Am I sturdy, non-gooey, elastic, general purpose person?
In some respects yes. I have an amount of
morals and principles that I stick to, though I do make small breaks where
necessary. I suppose that qualifies as being sturdy.
Non-gooey could refer to several things,
like how emotional or overdramatic I am. It must mean being neither of those
things, just being a calm, soft-spoken, suave gentlemen in the corner that all
the girls want to buy them a drink. (There’s a short film for you Dan.) Sadly,
I am absolutely not that. You can ask any of my friends.
Elastic? Hmmm… Well I am pretty agile, and
can maneuver obstacles pretty effectively. But I guess it can also mean
resilience, when things haven’t gone right, or I’ve been disappointed, or
failed at something, being able to pick myself back and look forward. That’s
something I can do.
General Purpose? I do have a range of
quirky and largely useless skills. But I can perform just about any job that
involves manual labor, or simple managing of things. But I guess it refers more
to being able to adapt to various situations, even if you’re in them for the
first time. In that regard, I think I spectacularly fail. I very easily freak
out and get overwhelmed, so now, not really general purpose in the second
interpretation.
So 6/10 as far as being like Jarlsberg
goes.
But you see that simple decisions like that
our favorite kind of cheese is can be a reflection of who we are. Like anything
else in our life, it helps make us the person we want to be (yes, that was a
Dan quote.)
