From the Editor in Chief, U.S.

Hey y'all,

Turns out there is one good thing about the workaday life: use' em or lose 'em sick days! So posts might be light today, as I'm home eating Oreos, as you see over there. Okay, so that pic was from last night's Oreo session but that's about what I look like now.

Mmmm...Oreos. My whole LIFE I eschewed Oreos; at slumber parties, pool parties, friends' houses, wherever they would pop up as celebratory or recreational fare for youngsters. Why is this information pertinent to Chris Weekly? Because as he does in every other aspect of my existence, Chris showed me the light. As I was raised on cheesecakes, pound cakes and carrot cakes for dessert, he helped me to realize that an after-dinner treat doesn't have to be anything more than a thin layer of cream filling betwixt two silver-dollar-sized chocolate cookies. It was that rationale--or the fact that he continued to buy them over the last 10 years and I would eat them in a pinch. But whatever. I love them now! Thanks to Chris, I've found another high-calorie refined-sugar product to work into my diet! His wisdom feeds the soul AND the tush.

Chris, like me, is a purist. We do 'em natural, right out of the pack. None of this pull-apart-and-lick nonsense. But I also love to dip them in milk, which Chris is NOT into. And fresh ones? Ay dios mio! But fighting the freshness battle is no longer an issue with Nabisco's new stick-and-seal pack [shown above], which ensures the cookies stay fresh much longer. Chris has really been enjoying this latest development in packaging. So pick up a pack today and think of Chris with a big smile on his face with each crunchy bite.
