Why do I mention brie? It's more than cheese for me. It's home. It's my sister's favorite and we eat it at all hours-before dinner, at three am, when it's raining and we're bored. It's November and I can't wait to see my family for thanksgiving. We students can't help but enjoy our days and nights, filled as they are with pasta carbonara and leather goods and trips to London and Morocco. But let's get real: we all just want a good hug from mommy when the going gets rough. I could get into specifics but..Chiara is in her bedroom rocking out to Bruce Springsteen right now, making her tidy architectural drawings, and oh my, I can hear her humming. Gotta go. Don't worry: next time, I'll rinse a knife and save myself some heartache.

A Meditation on Brie
Have you ever eaten brie cheese with a spoon? I just did. It was easy: the silverware was dirty and no one was looking. I could feel bad about the brie-on-spoon situation that just occurred. It was unrefined and unladylike. And yet..isn't brie just as delicious and worthy of a spoon as creme brulee, or a dish of ice cream? It was highly convenient, cutting in so easily and eating it right from its silver resting place.

shut up! i ate brie earlier with a spoon but then realized it had gone bad and was sour so i threw it out. but i often eat brie with a spoon because my knives are twelve feet away, which is much too far.
