Queso Closed


I'm having a little dinner party this weekend for some of the guys that are bachn' it while their families are on home leave. I'm making mexican food and am in a frantic search for Velveeta for queso. Velveeta is one of those items that you either find crates of it at Spinneys or none at all. Well, all I have to say is that Spinneys picked a fine time to have a processed cheese shortage. Maybe one of Iran's missles went awry and it hit the Velveeta ship and now we have a Velveeta spill in the ocean. What an environmental nightmare that must be because you know that stuff doesn't float. What makes it worse is that all the American expat wives have gone for the summer and I have no one to gripe to about this situation. You see, when American expat wives get together we love to gripe....we can't help it...that's what we do. There are plenty of British and Aussie expat wives around, but they all have that stiff upper lip thing going on and are no fun to gripe with. Plus, they think Velveeta is disgusting. Americans acutally need to take lessons from the Brits ...they are so good at being expats. They were expats back when we weren't even a country. Maybe we need to drink more tea and play more cricket....and eat less Velveeta.

You can always ask BHO to bring you some cheese. He'll soon be in your "neck-of-the-woods"!
