Night of the Peek Freen or First Nighttime Craving Run

This is the story of the first night time run to get something Sherry happened to be craving. (Hopefully this does not become a regular occurrence.) Two days ago (Tuesday night) after a nice meal, Sherry and I were sitting n the studio watching the AMC's night offering. They have been having back to back Christmas specials on every evening leading up to the 25th. So Sherry turns to me during a commercial and asks for cookies. If you know my wife, she is not a cookie person. She has always been into chips, popcorn, Smartfood, salted cashews, and the like. But cakes and baked goods? Never.
















Then she drops the kicker. She doesn't want just any cookie... she wants Peek Freens! wow, this is serious! (Pun intended.) And not just any Peek Freens but the Traditional Fruit Cremes. You know, the butter cookie sandwiches with creme in the middle and jelly on top. You don't know? Neither did I.

So off I go into the night hitting all the supermarkets and other local snack sites to find my beloveds craving. After 4 stores I gave up, gave in and bought Pepperidge Farm Oatmeal cookies as a substitute along with Veronas (Pepperidge Farms version, or close enough, to the Fruit Cremes.) Well, the Veronas were a bomb. Not even near the mark. But the Oatmeal was sufficient. staved off me running back out into the night in a hopeless search for the right cookie for my dearest mother-to-be.
