A kid’ll eat the middle of an Oreo cookie, and save the chocolate cookie outside for last…
I personally never saw the benefit of splitting my Oreos in half, and eating the middle first. Seems like a lot of work. In fact, the middle is boring without the chocolate cookie, in my humble opinion.
If dissecting the cookie isn’t the best, what’s the best way to eat an Oreo?
If you bite into an Oreo, it’s a challenge to not drop crumbs all over the place. The cleanest and most effective way to eat an Oreo is in one bite. Just pop the whole cookie in your mouth and let the taste celebration begin. To add to the party, take a small sip of milk and let all that flavor mix around as you chew. Enjoy.
The ideal number of Oreos to eat in one sitting is four…each with one bite, and each with a healthy sip of milk. Oreo purists will argue that the ideal number is an entire column (purists know what a column is in this context), but that’s a bit much for me. You’ll have some milk left in the glass after your four cookies, and that’s useful for rinsing everything out of your teeth as you contemplate the goodness of your Oreos.
I always thought it would be fun to eat a few Oreos before a dental hygienist appointment. I wonder if anyone has actually gone through with this idea.
Steak. It’s what’s for dinner.
For vegetarians, I apologize in advance…
The smell of steaks on the grill is a little slice of Heaven. There’s something about the smell of a barbeque grill that permeates a neighborhood. If your neighbor is cooking steaks, you know it, and you wish you were cooking your own.
Some of the best steakhouses age their beef for thirty, even sixty days. They say that the longer the aging process, the more tender the meat will be. I’m not quite so patient. I’ll give it about three days of aging in the fridge before cooking.
I’ve tried many cuts of beef. My favorite is the rib eye. Rub a little olive oil on each side, and then season with Mansmith’s. Grill it low and slow, about ten minutes on each side for the perfect medium-rare tenderness. Let the meat rest for a few minutes, and then enjoy with a baked potato and some steamed or sautéed asparagus. Talk about good eats!
I like nearly every food I’ve tried, except olives and horseradish. A few favorites come to mind…Salmon. Eggplant parmesan. Hot apple pie (with ice cream). Saag paneer. Unagi. Lasagna. Date shakes. Vegetarian lamb. Chocolate chip ice cream. Chili. Oatmeal cookies. Fried chicken. Carrot cake. Cornish pasties. Bacon!
Food is much more than the sustenance we need to live. It’s more than nutritional value (or lack thereof). Foods have history. Many are at the heart of our family traditions.
One thing all foods across the world have in common: they are best when shared with the people we love.
Explore. Taste. Savor. Share. Love. Enjoy!
