Cheese Read

I’m not gonna lie, as much I try to avoid gossip, tabloids and fashion mags, I can’t help but get drawn in like a moth to a flame.  I mean here I am waiting in line at the market, while the person in front of me is chatting it up with the over-friendly clerk at the cash register about “how cute little Tommy looked in his Lakers pull over" and "Grandpa Joe is in town and bla bla bla”. It’s the perfect time for me to reach over and see the cellulite on the back of Britney Spear’s tush and get the update on Lindsey Lohan "back in the slammer for drinking booz spiked tea". I hate myself after but it’s really a drug!

Well folks, there is a light at the end of this sordid tunnel, it’s cheese magazines. Yeah you heard me right! I am an official subscriber to both Culture and Cheese Connoisseur magazine! I was elated when I saw them, shining in all their glory, on the magazine kiosk at Borders. My boyfriend was in the section with women posed by flashy vehicles when I nearly put him in cardiac arrest with my shrill excitement! 


If you're looking to get more into the cheese scene, Culture is probably the way to go. It's the cream of the crop as far as cheese mags go and it was the first of it's kind. Most curd-nerds have been keeping up with this magazine for years. I also read a bit on Kate Arding who is the founder, what a woman! The start of this magazine has a really awesome story and it's full of cheesy amazingness; I can't even put into words.

It's a funny feeling when I'm going through my day and can't wait for the moment to plop into bed and read the latest gossip on some good feta.
