A Tasty Treat

Last Saturday my wife, daughter, and I went to the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair in Maryland. The weather was great and it was a lot of fun because my wife and I got to see our daughter enjoy the animals and go on her first pony ride. I also discovered a tasty treat at one of the food vendors: Fried Oreos. Do not dismiss the idea until you have tried it. I saw the sign for Fried Oreos and was a little skeptical. After all, aren't Oreos designed to be eaten right out of the bag with a nice tall glass of cold milk. But being an adventurous eater I decided to try it. The Oreos were dipped in a funnel cake type batter and deep fried for a minute or two. They were then sprinkled with powdered sugar. The Fried Oreos are unbelievable. The cookie and cream get very soft, almost melting, and blend together with the fried dough. The powdered sugar gives it another hint of sweetness. If you see it at a state or county fair try it. You will not regret it. I am sure this delectable delight would alarm most cardiologists. But if you do not eat some good "bad food" at a fair, what is the point.

Hey - at least they weren't fried Hydrox. Because that would be SHAMEFULLY goyish!

Is Hydrox really a good name for a cookie? Doesn't it sound like a laundry detergent or lawn chemical. I tried Hydrox once, and only once. The Keebler Elves deserved to be slapped around for such a product. It does not even deserve to be in the same supermarket aisle as Oreos.

The good news is that Hydrox couldn't match the popularity of Oreo. It was retired a few years ago. Yes, Hydrox sounds close to peroxide. Yuck.

The last line in your recent post about God and Georgie was a real home run!
