There always seems to be a cheese bag in the fridge. This is due to the seemingly high demand for crackers, and, of course, cheese present in the hour or two before dinner at my parent’s house.

The arrangement is typically composed with a small round cutting board on which sit both soft and firm cheeses, one of which is usually smoked, and a box of either Triscuts or Wheat Thins. A knife is also typically present.

On occasion, a cracker bag may make an appearance. In this case, the feeding frenzy has subsided, and the crumbs have settled. My mother, Koko, will determine that there are not enough crackers left in the box justify the cumbersome transportation of a dozen or less crackers in their original packaging the 37 inches from the kitchen counter to the pantry. This confectionary remainder is then efficiently moved to a zip-lock bag, and finally to the pantry to wait for the cheese bag to make it's appearance the next day. However, this eventuality is rare.

The more commonplace cheese bag has become a fixture in the crisper drawer of my parent's 'wide-by-side' not in response to a question of efficiency, but as a result of the vacuum-sealed packaging of said cheeses being destroyed as they are clawed at by either myself, or my black-sheep brother Mike. The cheese bag is established day after day as we, groggy with cheese, slump down between the sofa cushions leaving our appetites and waning blocks of cheese on the kitchen counter. With good humor, Koko collects the leftovers, which become the cheese, and (occasional) cracker bag.
