Food Appreciation [Class Eight, Period #3]

"Cheese is one of the greatest foods on earth. It goes great with everything," Marshall said, deciding to skip the niceties and the hello's this morning. Cheese day was an important day, dammit. "For those of you who are lactose intolerant I apologize for today's class and I have provided you with candy to eat while I talk."

Indeed there were piles of candy on everybody's desk to eat while Marshall talked out of cheese.

"For those of you who don't know, cheese is made from the proteins and fat from milk. Usually this is milk from cows but there are also cheeses from goats, sheep and buffalo. There's a bunch of different kinds of cheese. You can get different styles, textures and flavors depending on the origin of the milk, whether it has been pasteurized, butterfat content, the species of bacteria and mold, and the processing including the length of aging."

Marshall grinned. "Wikipedia is awesome."

"So, like, there's a bunch of fancy cheeses and there's people who like to think they're cheese connoisseurs and are all serious business about cheese. I don't roll like that," he said. "We're gonna eat good stuff."

He walked behind the buffet table and pointed out the sorts of food he got today. "We've got cheetos, cheez-its, macaroni and cheese, nachos, cheese fries, cheesy poofs, Goldfish crackers, that cheese that comes in a can, broccoli cheese soup, string cheese, mozzarella sticks..."

There was a lot of cheesy foods up there.

"Eat! Enjoy cheese!" Marshall couldn't resist picking up the cheese in a can and spraying a bit in his mouth. Don't worry, he didn't put his lips on the can or anything. That would be gross.

Right.

Still with the Spy Oakleys on, Jen was hanging out at a corner of the table, very slowly nibbling on Cheetos one at a time.

Slowly.

In moderation.

Lots of moderation.

Because moderation was good.

. . . you know, in moderation.

So obviously someone was missing the point.

The sunglasses and slow nibbling got Hoshi's attention. She got a plate of mozzarella sticks and sat down near Jen. "Bad hangover?" she guessed.

"Something like that," Jen confirmed, nibbling at a new Cheeto with excruciating slowness. She was about one step above trying to grate it on her teeth, really. "I'm never drinking again."

"Yikes. I've done that myself, though it doesn't seem to stop me from drinking," said Hoshi. "At least you didn't pick up any new body piercings or do any drunk dialing, right?"

"Um," Jen said eloquently. "No, I can definitely say I didn't do either of those things."

"Then you're doing better than me," said Hoshi. "I once woke up with an empty tequila bottle and a belly button ring. It was worse than any normal hangover."

Jen's cheeks flushed as pink as her shirt, and she mumbled, "Yeah, I guess I got lucky there."

Hoshi raised an eyebrow. "You didn't do anything embarrassing while you were drunk, did you?" she asked.
