Cheese Whiz

I had intended to bring some treats to AGCHO for my birthday, but withit being salsa night the night before I just didn't make it to the PX tobuy anything. But I did go to the PX on my Birthday and bought some snacks (think elementary school). It just so happened that the Easy Cheese had been talking to me for the last four weeks and I decided to indulge. I told myself it was my substitute Birthday Cake. I ended up bringing the Easy Cheese and Crackers to AGCHO with me and since I had to have a few for myself I set it out for everyone. Rob and I were enjoying it and Mariam our interpreter came up and grabbed a cracker and took a bite, I told her,you have to put some cheese on it, she looked at me a little questioningly and I took the can and showed her how to put it on her cracker. She duplicated my efforts and then popped the cheesy cracker into her mouth, it was then that her eyes lit up, after she finished eating she said "that is really good!" eventually the rest of the students came around and Rob taught them how to put the cheese on the crackers. And they all were soon addicted. Apparently they had never had cheese whiz before! It was a lot of fun to be the one to introduce them to something new, especially since they all liked it so much.

My favorite part though came when Fawad took the cheese and three crackers and spelled out WWE (He is a WWE fanatic). It reminded me of how my mother used to spell out our names and varous things on crackers with cheese when I was young. I can't help it, I am always smiling!
