Dee-lightful - A Little Drabble Do Ya

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

"What are you eating?"  Napoleon never ceased to wonder at his partner's appetite.

"It is a Moon Pie.  And I am enjoying it with this … um… RC Cola.  According to Miss Samantha Duvall, it is the only way to eat a Moon Pie."

Napoleon's eyebrow arched slightly.

"And just where did you meet Miss Samantha Duvall?"

Illya took a bite and swallowed some cola before answering.

"She's a new neighbor, from down South."

"I see, and she recommends this, um… "

"Moon Pie.  And RC.  Do you…?"

"No, thank you."

Illya smiled.

"So, about Miss Samantha Duvall…"

"She likes Moon Pies."

Mmmmm Moon Pies! Dunno about the RC cola with it though, a little too sweet for me. Very nice drabble.

Oh, you need both. It's an accepted truth :)

Guess Napoleon will have to start eating them. I actually just had some about a month ago.

I don't generally eat Moon Pies, but they do have a certain charm. Probably not Napoleon's style though, they leave a trail of crumbs ;)

Cute little story :-)
However, I have no cultural reference. What's a Moon Pie?

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

Marshmallow between two graham cracker cookies, covered in a chocolate coating. They are best when microwaved for about 20 seconds, IMO. But you must leave them in the bag which you have wisely opened at one end. The RC is a bonus.

I just realized this picture is of a double! The regular ones, classic, have only two cookies and the marshmallow center. Do I need to send you some?

[jantojones.livejournal.com]

They look like something which I could very easily eat too much of :-)
I would love to try them, but you don't need to send any. Thanks though.

Um, further cultural ignorance, what is a graham cracker?

Graham Crackers really are an American staple, and the foundation for s'mores. And there's graham cracker crust for cheesecake, the classic version.

Yummy. I'll have to nuke a few. My fav is the banana Moon Pie.

I've never tried the other flavors, perhaps will venture out ;)

I really enjoyed this one, mostly because I can exactly picture the expressions on their faces and hear the tones of voice - spot on.

Thanks so much. I enjoy visualizing the scene, so it's great to know others can see it too.
