the standard for cheese to be cubed and placed on the table with grocery 
store 'french' bread to spoil appetites is the cement block sized mild 
cheddar from the warehouse superstore.  This is what she did not want served 
because 1) it is boring and she felt the $20 to $30 could be spent more 
interestingly and 2) she knew that opening feast with a pile o'cheese closes 
the stomach and could be dangerous to the health of the feasters ;-)


Other than that one request, she interfered not at all, leaving me almost 
too much on my own.  She had no problem paying for the fresh goat cheese 
that was properly served at the end of the meal.   And if the brie and cream 
version of savory toasted cheese were on the menu, she would have probably 
dug money out of her own pocket if necessary!
