As much as we like to deny it, our lives are full of America. The TV shows we watch and the foods we crave, the good ol’ US of A is all around us. It frustrate my husband no end that we are “allowing them” to brainwash us with their cool shows and delicious fast food but I am not complaining. Some things are just better with a twang.
One such thing, is the oreo. How we all rejoiced when they originator of the “but you can have the rest of my meeelk” graced our shores and several years on the cookie, and the iconic advert, still remain firm favourites. So, on one quiet and creative afternoon I thought “well how hard can it be?” and dived head first into the millions of results google handed me. Many very american short cuts like “chocolate cookie mix” later I finally found food networks version and made a few tweaks to match what I had (I was not in the mood to go shopping, if I was I would have just BOUGHT oreos and settled down with a glass of meeeelk)
