F Minus by Tony Carrillo for September 14, 2019

Three with extra chips, and five with carmel chips.

My computer keeps asking me if I will accept cookies. WHO DOESN’T?!

Does that come with chocolate chips?

Do you want, a la mode, with that?

Now I need another cup of coffee and A COOKIE! Thanks a lot….

I’ll have one with extra raisins!

Does anyone have the cookie burger recipe? It’s a great idea!

What’s a cookie burger?

The Sesame Street cafeteria.

A minor-league ball team nearby actually had “donut” burgers. The buns for the burgers were made of grilled Krispy Kremes”

Sounds like a preschool field trip with a few adults along.

Look at those cookies soaking up all the meat juices.

And Thanks to Tony Carrillo, next summer’s carnivals will be serving up something new.

“To go?”

I’m way ahead of this. Back in the late 80’s, in my elementary cafeteria, I wondered what would happen if I put a cookie inside my hamburger. In spite of the marginal quality of each item of my school lunch, the sweet-savory result was an epiphany for me. I demonstrated this to friends a few times, and they typically watched in awed revulsion as I enjoyed this unlikely pairing. None were ever convinced to try it themselves. Now and then I tell the story to adult friends, and while they are not as incredulous as grade-schoolers, I am almost always faced with heavy skepticism.

Years later, watching the scene in “Ratatouille” when Remy first learned to mix flavors, I could hardly contain myself as I excitedly told my companions, “THAT’S EXACTLY HOW I FELT!”
