The ABCs of Cheese

Filed under: bill, quote me — posted by jill @ 3:27 pm   Email This Post Email This Post

I feel compelled to point out that the pistachio nut is not the only ‘animated’ food Bill has felt the need to save lately. I found him in the kitchen a couple weeks back scrutinizing Cheetos before eating them. Some he popped into his mouth. Others, he smiled at and laid ever-so-gently into a plastic Gladware container.

“Hey, Buhbee! Don’t throw these away or eat them, OK?”

“Um, OK.”

*beaming* “I’m making a Cheeto-Alphabet!! See, this one is a ‘J’…and here’s a ‘Q’…”

I’m questioning Bill’s sincerity in his decluttering effort. A Cheeto-Alphabet?!?! C’MON!!! And, there they sit atop our refrigerator like little stale orange donuts.

The belly button. I have no excuse for that except that I couldn’t see the surface of the shelf that it was on because it was up too high. (Hey, Jill! That probably means you haven’t dusted up there since Sam’s button fell off circa December 2007, huh? You are correct.)

  1. I am questioning the decluttering effort as well. I will accept a trade of proof of decluttering in another area in exchange for the Cheeto alphabet. I would like to see photos of the alphabet upon completion.

  3. Oh, ladies! You are only adding fuel to the fire as I think his intent was to photograph and post pictures of his Cheetobet. Stop encouraging him!

    (I’m going to make him eat the letters with a glass of warm milk after it’s done and the pictures are taken.)

  4. Are cheetos like clouds? Is it really possible to have cheeto alphabet? Now I’m all curious…Got get me a bag of cheetos…Is it regular cheetos or flaming hot cheetos?

  5. Chris,

    They are Baked Cheetos so that we can pretend we’re making healthier food choices. Let’s just say that Bill gave himself wide margins in his interpretation of Cheeto letters. If Picasso were looking at them, he’d squint and tilt his head be all, “Dude. I totally don’t get it. That looks nothing like a ‘j’.”

  6. My mom used to say that “a cluttered house was a house full of love.” I personally think that she was trying to convince herself that the clutter wasn’t bothering her. Now that we are all out of the house, she is a neat freak…

    You could always hold the Cheetos hostage until he de-clutters something. It may work or it may result in a new bag of Cheetos. :)

  7. I find it interesting that we question the Cheetobet. This is a man who still has his wisdom teeth, (in addition to his old dogs teeth) a thousand year old Egg Nog can and also recently admitted (with photography) to having about 150 cups under his desk.

    Walk away from the Man and his Cheetos Jill. You may get sucked in.

  8. I am inspired to start my own cheetobet… though I don’t seem to be getting anything but a bunch of lower case Ls… a Q? Now that is impressive!
