dear glorious Oreos,

How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways.
1. Dipped in milk so you get a little soggy.
2. Crushed and smushed and formed into truffles.
3. In a neat little stack next to me as I eat you one by one twisted gently apart.
4. Secretly snuck and stuffed in my mouth as I pass the pantry after a child leaves the room.


Four ways!  You lucky little things.
Though I count myself the lucky one to have had you in my life lo, these many months.
However, I fear we must say good bye in a short while as the weather warms and I try to slough the deliciously added insulating extra holiday poundage.
So until my next good excuse comes along to sweep you off the grocery shelf and onto my pantry shelf...
I bid you a regretful Adieu.


You will forever be in my thoughts.  But hopefully not forever on my gut.  
No offense.


Love always,
Corrie
