Welcome to Amanda/Mandi week! Wait, this one is Just in Queso. Queso? See picture below. Thanks to her for guest post. Any other Amanda or Mandi out there contact me. š
While Mark is on vacation this week (lucky bastard), he asked if Iād like to guest post for him, and I was excited and flattered to take him up on it! I have a blog over at Just in Queso, where I review a certain cheesy Tex-Mex dish at various central Texas restaurants, and I also write stories about my strange and often pointless shenanigans.
I like to keep things pretty lighthearted and fun over there. My blog is cheesy in more ways than one.
Anyway, Mark said I could write about anything I wanted, so I strongly considered writing an expose on hemorrhoids, just to mess with you all. However, I wanted to keep within the theme of his blog as much as possible, so I decided to write a poem.
I donāt normally write poetry, so it feels rather daring to do this on a blog that contains some beautifully-written material. Pointing and laughing at me is fine, but please donāt throw tomatoes. Those stains are really hard to get out š
Yearning
I canāt seem to remember
The moment we first met
But Iām sure that I was starry-eyed,
And I havenāt lost that yet.
āSoul mateā is much too clichĆ©
To describe how I feel about you.
Your beauty makes my insides flutter
Our love, though old, feels new.
When Iāve stressed, youāve offered peace
On dark days, youāve brought me light
You calm me, you complete me,
My friend on lonely nights.
I wait for you with anticipation
My fondest wishes, you fulfill.
You were made to bring me pleasure,
And you always will.
Every thought I have of you
Fills me with emotion
Youāve āset a seal upon my heartā
You have my full devotion.
You come in many varied forms,
So Iāll never have to tire.
Cold and hard, or warm and soft
And sometimes set afire.
Perhaps my favorite form of you
Comes melted in a bowl
With spices, veggies, and chorizo
Queso: you ignite my soul.
Shakespeare asked, āwhatās in a name?ā
Iād tell him, āMonterey Jackā
Or feta, brie, mozzarella
Even cheddarās got my back.
Thereās nothing like a piece of cheese
No matter my state of mind
It eases my pains, it brings me joy
No greater love than this Iāll find.
I love you, cheese.
Do you have any items that bring you such happiness, you could write a love poem about them? What foods (or other items) strike your fancy?
Big thanks to Mark for letting me to do this guest post, and to Mark’s readers for humoring my whimsical cheese-love! My goal was to find a āmiddle groundā between his blog theme and mine, so hopefully I succeeded. Please feel free to stop by Just in Queso and say hello!
Great poem!

Haha, thanks Erin! I feel like I’ve been inundating everyone with CHEESE EVERYTHING lately, so I’m going to hold back on it just a bit. But I couldn’t resist an opportunity to weird out somebody else’s readers š

Haha, it’s never a bad idea to branch out. That way you can milk the cheese theme more over the long haul. It’s good to pace yourself
BUT, cheese also has many followers and we are passionate š

Hehe – “milk the cheese theme” š so punny!
You’re right, I just need to find a way to show passion about cheese (for those of us who are loyal followers), without beating people to death with it haha. Thanks for your input!
