I make a lovely cheese plate, I would even say, a thoughtful cheese plate and sometimes a very expensive cheese plate that I fashion from Whole Paycheck cheeses. A woman with clumpy eye make up, very long fake nails and over processed hair once asked me at a party, “So what did you bring?” and I answered, “The cheese plate.” and she said, “well, that’s not very creative.” To which I replied with a pleasant smile and thought, “you should know broomhilda.”
