Pronunciation: mah/cheez/bo

Sentence: Judith did her best to never show up at family potlucks, parties, etc. early. She did not want to take the chance that her macheesebeau Ernie might end up in the kitchen with Mom. He didn't know the first thing about cooking. He just liked to impress Mom with his strength. Unfortunately, nine times out of ten, Mom would finally say, "Give that to me!" as she grabbed and with one swift twist opened the jars Ernie had just busted a nut on trying to get open. :)
