and a dustbuster really is on my christmas list

A word to the wise: if the parmesan cheese is kind of stuck in it container, take the top off and use a knife to break it up. Don't be lazy and just shake the container really hard, because the lid might not be shut. And you might fling stinky cheese particles all over your stove, countertop, floor, self, toddler, and sleeping infant. And that would not be good.
