author blurbs

You know how publishers put quotes by other authors or celebrities on the covers of books? For example, Tanya Huff gave a quote for seanan_mcguire's Rosemary & Rue.

Well, Clarence Clemmons, aka Springsteen's saxophonist, has a memoir coming out. It's called Big Man: Real Life & Tall Tales (with writer Don Reo, foreword by Bruce Springsteen). It has quotes too... from President Bill Clinton. Oh, and in case you are worried this book is all serious, Kinky Friedman and Chris Rock and more.

I am in awe.

Oreos as cereal?

Spotted on twitter:

Other fav breakfasts was oreos in a bowl with hot coffee poured over them. Yes, you read that right. I loved it as a kid.

Followups include:

[O]reos must be intact. Coffee seeps into them & makes them soft, but not too soft, there is a texture window

If the oreos get too soft they just make your coffee lumpy and it's a mess. Must eat while cookies still look like cookies.

(I am now strongly tempted to buy Oreos just so I can try that one evening as dessert.)
