“Have I ever told you my son is an absolute angel?”
“Are you just saying that because you’re his mother?”
“He’s my reason for living.”
“Mine’s melted cheese.”
“What?”
“My reason for living – it’s melted cheese.”
“Like, fake cheese on nachos? Yeah, that’s a pretty good one.”

I just snorted iced tea out my nose reading that and had to explain to my co-worker what was so funny. She didn’t get it. I LOVE that story- it made my day!
Finally, someone who gets me!!
Yum, melted cheese is one of my top reasons for happiness!
Yum!
Hmmmm….think I gonna stick w/ my chocolate. (Hershey’s and See’s Candies!)
I, too live for melted cheese, ESPECIALLY fake nacho cheese. Oh, my the food of the lords……
(angel voices)
Ahhhhhhhh.
I always thought you had to be raised Italian to really appreciate melted cheese… and seeing that you’ve included fake nacho cheese in your definition of “melted cheese” confirms that belief. That comes off a bit snarkier than I meant it, but I’ll stand by it. Fake nacho cheese is only acceptable at the movie theater when accompanied by a plastic bottle full of smuggled margarita… and that’s only because I’ve yet to figure out a way to smuggle in real nachos.
I have the SAME feelings about nacho cheese. It was the other woman who mentioned it.
Haha, well I retract my previous statement and restore your cheese cred!
You’re fabulous! And if I’d been drinking when I read that, I’d be right there with Morgan. Instead, I cackled so loud, I shocked my cat. Nice!
You are my hero. Awesome.
hahahahaha.
Mmmm…. cheese.
Tiramisu has all five essential food groups: cheese, chocolate, coffee, alcohol and dessert.
For God’s sake, why can’t our reason for living be less calorific?!
damn, that is a good one.
and in addition: I was once asked if i would ever consider going vegan. My answer was a resounding “no” and when asked why, I simply replied that I could never give up cheese. Cheese and I have a bond deeper than ethics.
This reminds me a little bit of the time my ex-boyfriend’s mom told my dad (in all seriousness) that her son is “just like the Christ-child.” My father was justifiably agape. It was wonderful. I have the moment on film.
MMmmm… Nacho cheese. I’m hungry.
If my children have been paying attention, my gravestone will read – “There is no such thing as too much cheese!”
And I thought I was the only one who can’t for the life of me get those last few pounds off because I refuse to give up cheese!!
I have acid reflux and they told me to give up cheese, caffeine, alcohol, and sleeping face down. I politely asked them to kill me.
LOL! Thanks for the great laugh.
I’m a big fan of cheese too – yumm!!
Thought you might want to know…there’s going to be a Little House on the Prairie musical. Opening in Minneapolis, then touring the country. Heard about it on NPR. Love the blog. Cheers!
“Tiramisu has all five essential food groups: cheese, chocolate, coffee, alcohol and dessert”
Hahahhaa.
Made my day.
Do you know how many times I’ve had that exact conversation in my head with the mothers of my students?
My dogs live for cheese. They get life right more than most people I know. They’ve never had that nacho cheese.
I’ve paid an extra dollar for the glop at the “Trop”(Tropicana Field) to have something to dip my pretzel in.
You rock.
So does melted cheese. (And tiramisu)
However, the non-edible goop that is fake nacho cheese is NOT EVEN acceptable in a movie theater or really anywhere else.
When anyone begins a conversation about how adorable, angelic, great, one of a kind etc their kid(s) is/are I (like you) tend to think of anything that will throw a spnner into the conversation – and cheese is as good as anything LOL and thus I have to share that I have a cat that loves cheese and eggs.
The nacho cheese at mexican restaurants is the best. There are worse things to live for.
