So there's some kind of event at the resort I'm working at. An event that really keeps us busy.
I personally love events here as that means constant work instead of the continual waiting during the slow season. But the issue is that this event is a foodie event. A foodie event dedicated to cheese.
Cheese Souffle, Cheesecake, Savory Cheese Tarts, Cheese Fondue, Bruschetta, Cheese and Broccoli soup served in a Cheesy Bread Bowl, "Artisan" Pizzas, Grilled <Everything> and Goat Cheese, Cheese-in-everything desserts from Bundt cake to tarts to donuts to napoleons to fruit cups with whipped-mascarpone for everything and Infinity+1 ways to serve feta salad. There's more cheese here than a paid Starcraft tournament.
Do you know how hard it is to keep feeding people cheese without it getting boring? Cheesy Curry Rice. Yeah. And throw Pork and Cheese Rolls with Spinach. Squeezing in some self-serve sandwich/Hors d'oeuvres/Crackers lunches and Tex-Mex a few meals can stretch it. Thankfully they took pretty well to three different types of Okonomiyaki. Maybe cheesy takoyaki next, if purchasing would hurry up with the orders. Cheesy Ramen... Maybe if I rolled some cheese directly into the noodles. I'd have to make the noodles by hand though, and soup would ruin it. Maybe if I make it into fried noodles; but I'd have to choose a cheese that'd hold up to heat long enough... Bah.
What's worse is that they went overboard with the cheese, so purchasing can't bring the other stuff in, and we have to take cheese out so we can make space in the walk-in. But soft cheeses don't hold well outside of refridgeration at all. It's so bad that the management is allowing us to buy the cheese directly from our pay at a discount so they can get rid of it and recoup the costs.
What's worse is that after each meal there's a ton of leftovers, and I absolutely hate seeing food go to waste, so when someone asks if anyone wants to bundle some away I'm like:
I did my part and now the the pantry is full of cheese. The closets are full of cheese. The fridge is full of cheese. The rear fridge is full of cheese. The cooking-supply fridge is full of cheese. The shoe rack is topped with boxes of cheese. The emergency kit now contains hard cheese. The guest room is entirely full of boxes of cheese. And my sisters who live with me are constantly making cheese puns.
Goudang if the puns don't drive me emmental before I cheese it. Yarg.
