Over the last couple of days, something has become very clear to me.

I live in a part of the world where people are conscious about the food they eat. The Co-op gets as much business as the Price Chopper, and each of our many CSA’s have long wait lists, full of people just begging for celeriac and spinach. To put it mildly, this town eats a lot of sprouts.

But I knew all of that. What I did not know is that there is also a deep passion in the hearts of my friends and neighbors for the oreo cookie.
