CHEESY

If you've been near me when eating, you know I am a major cheese fiend.  Seriously.  If the name of the food has the word "cheese" in it, I expect cheese to be the primary ingredient.  In fact, I have been heard to say on more than one occasion that there is no such thing as too much cheese.  (This may have something to do with my extra curvy shape, but that's another story for another day.)  If you've had my lasagna, you know it is at least as much cheese as everything else combined.  That stuff will give you a coronary if you eat too much at once.  

I've just eaten lunch for today, and I had to sneak down to the kitchen to get it, because Ann and I have an ongoing battle to be the one to get the last of her "Smacks and Cheese".  This delectable delicacy earns the use of the word "cheese" in its name several times over. It is a cheater version of Ann's homemade  baked macaroni and cheese and it is awe inspiring for the taste buds. What is this magical food?  It's a Staufer's frozen macaroni and cheese done up in Ann's special way.  By itself, it has adequate cheese and tastes quite yummy.  But when Ann gets hold of it, it gets MORE cheese and gets baked MORE and it's creamy and crunchy and CHEESY.  Cheesy like a Cheshire cat's biggest grin. 

That said, I think I'll stop by the store today and pick up some more packages so she can make more of it.  You can never have too much cheese.  :-)   

Interior Spaces

Moments go by:
Dreams, Memories
Wishes, Promises
Victories, Accomplishments

I hold them close,
Keep them close,
They need to be kept.
Kept safe, secure
Not hidden, only guarded, protected.

Keep them here to fill the spaces;
In between spaces, 
Not gaps, but spaces.
Spaces inside for holding -
Not grief, not anger, not fear.
Holding love.  Only love. 

That's what the Interior Spaces are for.
