>Greetings, Mr. Simons, > >This is a reply to your cheesy post. > >>Before I proceed, I would like to wish you a very >>happy new year. May your bottom stay nice and white. > >Thank you. I would wish the same to you but somehow I >don't think you need to worry about keeping your >bottom nice and white. Happy new year in any case. > >As an aside, I managed, just barely, to avoid a >spanking on new year's day to start off the new year >on a sour note. Having grown tired of turkey >left-overs, mom decided to make sloppy joes [a >hamburger bun or crumpet with a crumbled >hamburger-in-a-ketchup-sauce filling.] Little kids >eat it like a hamburger and get it all over (what >fun). Adults like me (ahem) eat it with a fork. >Anyway, mom committed the sin of not getting all the >ingredients together before starting. After browning >the hamburger she went to add the ketchup and found >that the ketchup bottle had only a tablespoon left. >That was my fault, I had added most of what remained >in the bottle on a batch of air-fried potato sticks >that are supposed to taste like French fries, but >don't, hence the ketchup. Well she called me in and >crabbed at me for not putting ketchup on the shopping >list when I had used it all. I retorted that I hadn't >used it all, there was still a tablespoon left. She >bristled at that, warned me not to get smart with her, >and to get to the store at once and buy a bottle >before the meat got cold. WHAT!? It was raining cats >and dogs (people in a neighboring town were evacuated >for fear of flooding in areas below where the fire had >burnt all the plant cover). Windshield wipers on >medium quality rain. First new year's day Rose Parade >rain-out in my lifetime. And my mom expects me to get >out in that for a bottle of ketchup? Apparently, yes. > I was screwing up my face to let her know what I >thought of that when she warned me to zip it up or >else she would whack my butt like a bottle of ketchup >and turn it the same color as the contents. >Fortunately, she did that in time and I was able to >keep mum or else I would have gotten spanked for sure. > Mom was already ticked at me for the ketchup >shortage. Whew! I got out the car which now has to >be washed when the rain stops, went the half-mile to >the store, walked into the store getting soaked, took >my single bottle of ketchup to the 15 items or less >checkout and plunked it down. The checkout clerk gave >me such a questioning glance that I wished they had a >self-checkout system. "Don't ask," I told her. Got >soaked again getting back to the car, got home and >handed the bottle to my mom only to be told that I >should have gotten a larger bottle. I risked a >disrespect spanking again by purposefully walking over >to the shopping list and adding ketchup. The sloppy >joes were good. Dad said that he was glad that mom >had made something easy after all the work with the >Christmas turkey dinner. I almost choked at that. We >didn't tell him how easy it wasn't. >> >> >>A cheeseboard is a wooden platter holding assorted >>cheeses, which the diners share. Cheese is usually >>served at the end of a meal, either as an alternative >>to dessert or in addition to it. Diners sometimes cut >>their own choices of cheese with cheese knives >>provided or the waiter/waitress does it for them. >>There are crackers served with it too, either on the >>platter with the cheese or on/in a separate container >>or plate. Sometimes there may even be other items >>like grapes, olives, chutney or even thinly sliced >>cold meats served with it. > >>So, I hope that clears up your confusion (if indeed >>you were confused). > >Thank you for the explanation. It makes sense if the >cheeseboard is offered by a restaurant which has many >people to eat it all. Do you offer cheeseboards at >home? If so how does that work? Do you have to buy a >large chunk of each type of cheese and use only part >of it? Does what's left keep or turn moldy? Finally, >how do you buy cheese? That is, how is it wrapped? >Here cheese comes in plastic wrap, therefore cheese >comes in plastic packages. > >I looked up cheeseboards on the net. Got a lot of >pictures of loaded boards and a YouTube video on how >to make them but the only things actually offered for >sale were the boards themselves. I will keep an eye >out and order up one if I see it available. Until >then it will be Velveeta, milk, and elbow pasta (aka >Mac & Cheese). > >-Jerry
