The Cheese Curd Smile
2008.11.30 | A rare bit of seriousness |
This past Saturday I ventured to Logan with one of my roommates for a double date. I went out with a girl who calls herself “Gudger” (different, I know), while my anonymous roommate had a blind date with one of Gudger’s friends. We had fun bowling, making lunch together, and touring around Logan by way of tandem bicycles (this was only made possible the fact that Logan’s 9-month-long winter had been delayed, likely due to the current rate of world piracy). Good times were had by all, but despite my joking beforehand to my roommate when I asked him, “Are you ready to meet the love of your life?”, I don’t think it was the love connection he might have been hoping for. Great girl, there was just no spark.
After dropping off the girls, us guys headed to Gossner’s dairy to buy some legendary Cache Valley cheese. I don’t think I’ll ever forget the expression of pure glee I saw on my roommate’s face as he walked out with four bags of cheese curds; he was like a little kid on Christmas morning.
I think we all deserve to end up with someone who brings the “cheese curd smile” to our faces. Granted not all relationships start out with that euphoria, and each relationship has its ups and downs, but if it doesn’t bring a smile to your face when you spend time with that special someone, or if you don’t feel even a bit of happy anticipation upon receiving an e-mail or text from him or her, it’s probably a sign that “someone” isn’t so special.
Enjoy your cheese curds, roomie. May we soon find that smile once more upon your face due to reasons completely unrelated to having eaten fine dairy products.

Isn’t Gudger that game that Harry Porter plays?

So, no report about whether or not you’re sporting the cheese curd smile?

That Gudger girl sounds like quite the gal! K Dizzle Dog, I think “bludger” may be the word you’re looking for.

When my mother’s family gets together, it is mandatory that “squeaky cheese” is supplied by the grain silo full. This is in honor of my late grandfather who owned Manwaring Family Cheese. Our motto is if it doesn’t squeak don’t eat it. As you all are dating just remember, not all cheese curds are created equal….
