Worth Celebrating!!

Today is "super Tuesday" according to the pundits.  They say it's the make-it-or-break-it day for the Republican presidential wanna-bes.  But I think it's super Tuesday for a very different reason, and a reason for which we all can and should celebrate.....

Can you guess what makes it a super Tuesday?

Think small, round, white surrounded by two brown bits of cookie.....YES YES YES!  100 years ago today, Oreo cookies were put on the shelves for the first time in history.  And it was in (gasp) NEW JERSEY!  Yes, my childhood home gave us more than Tony Soprano (and his real-time ilk); awful odors around Elizabeth from the refineries; and the ubiquitous NJ Turnpike. ["What exit do you live at?"] It gave us OREOs!

So, whether you're a dunker or a twist-and-lick-er, today is a day for a celebration.  Pour yourself a big glass of REAL milk and enjoy the 100th birthday of one of the best cookies on the face of the earth!!!
