One of my friends has a family tradition of Oreos and peaches. She shared it with us the other day, step by step.
First you buy canned peaches. Then you buy Double-Stuf Oreos (because who buys any other kind?). Take them home.
Open the can of peaches. Drain. Divide into bowls, each with its own spoon. Hand one bowl to each person. Give them a napkin.
Set the Oreos in the center of the table. Open package. (Name brand containers have instructions for peeling open the top instead of tearing or cutting open the ends like the old days.) Have each person select two or three cookies and set them on the napkin, because Oreos must be on napkins.
Begin eating: first a bite of peach; then a bite of Oreo. Disregard normal procedures for consuming the chocolate wafer and cream. Don’t worry about putting fruit on cookies or cookies on fruit. Alternating bites works just fine.
Ration as you go, balancing the percentage left of peaches with that of the cookies. As you near the end, you will have to make a choice whether you want to end on peaches or on Oreos. There is no rule for this, and you can decide when you come to it, based on your mood and taste that day.
To God be all glory.
