Last night, I tried to impress my friends with a fancy cheese board. You know the type crackers, grapes, and cheeses I couldn’t even pronounce. I pointed at one and said, “This one is… uh… fancy cheddar.”
It wasn’t cheddar. It was something French. Very French.
My friend smiled, took a bite, and said, “This party just got grate.”
And just like that… the cheese jokes began. 😄
