Waiting for Gouda

There’s nothing more upsetting than opening up a good bottle of merlot and realizing you don’t have any good cheese to enjoy it with.

I had a bit of brie in my fridge, but I was really in the mood for some smoked gouda.

I thought, by chance, my servant might have accidentally put the gouda in my fruit bin by accident, so I got on my knees and shuffled through the bottom of my fridge. I searched all over the place, but couldn’t find anything acceptable.

It was during that mad moment of searching for smoked gouda when I realized what people addicted to drugs must feel like. You not only want the drug (or gouda), but you’ll do anything to get it.

I said a short prayer to quell my hungry mind, and decided the humble route would be to just eat the brie.

Such is the life of the humble.

Nothing like starting out the morning with a good belly laugh.
Maybe your handsome assistant will find you some gouda later your holiness.

I have such a hard time typing when I can't stop laughing at your post...even the last line is a kicker.

Your Holiness, I could only hope to be as humble as your humble self. Eating brie, and trying to be happy about it. You are the master.

BTW, please be careful when on your knees. There are priests there you know.

Holy Father: good thing your 'servants' like you or they could have knocked you over with some Trappist Monks limburger!
"Martian mice landed on earth and said: 'Take us to your Liederkranz!' " was an old New York joke we grew up with. Keep us laughing . . . I always knew the Lord had a sense of humor . . .

I don't know, your Holiness. Humble is more heavenly, but I say that life is too short to settle for anything less than a good smoked gouda. Love the title of this, BTW. Gotta have a good laugh at that.

It's easy for me to stay humble. It's another thing to control my waistline.

Good to see you are still alive! You spent a very long time repenting and such, I thought you had forgotten about this blog.

And sell your Escalade, some artifacts and trinkets, and buy a POPE YACHT! Let me know if you need a skipper.

It is funny how much you resemble my 2 dogs. They are super super super addicted to smoked gouda.

I don't know about people on drugs, but dogs addicted to smoked gouda coulda take a bite out of crime.

Beware ..........
