Ode to Shapes

Don’t be fooled…there is nothing of substance in this post. 

So I’m sitting here, trying not to look at the ugliness that is statistics. While avoiding confidence intervals as if they were broccoli, I ate a whole row of Halloween Oreos! I have barely opened my stats book, but at least I’ve accomplished something, right?

So you may think I’m a smidgen crazy (and let’s be honest, I am a smidgen crazy), but Halloween Oreos somehow rank higher than normal Oreos in my book. Yes, yes I know they are the exact same thing just with orange food coloring, but I don’t want to hear it! They are better!

Maybe it’s the fun shapes they imprint on the cookie part… I do seem to be amused by shaped food. I have a ginormous tub of animal crackers sitting in my room too…the tub is shaped like a bear! How can you not love it? The animal crackers are strictly reserved for French procrastination though because I smear Nutella on them…that way I can claim that I am still absorbing some culture while I don’t do my work. It’s a stretch, but we college students do what we must to survive.

Now that we have established that I am a toddler trapped in a teenager’s body, let’s get back to my love of Halloween Oreos… I was thinking as I was inhaling Oreos (yes I can eat and think at the same time), what if you put Halloween Oreos in these Peanut Butter Oreo Brownies? Mind blown with spookiness!

My fall baking has been stunted by the silliness of college, so I can’t actually make these with Halloween Oreos. We’ll just have to imagine the awesomeness. 

I really do apologize for wasting 5 minutes of your life with my rambling…but I thought this was a better option than stats homework, and I had an excuse to eat more Oreos. Some blog about their thoughts on world peace. I blog about my unhealthy relationship with shaped food and Halloween Oreos. C’est la vie. 

Happy Halloween! And Happy Birthday to my big brother, Corey!!
