Death by Oreos

This made me laugh. Considering my epitaph will read 'She Died by Cheese,' and my obsession with Oreo cookies, this twist on Whistler's Mother looked like a viable alternative.


Death by Oreos, 2006 - by Daniela Edburg

  2. Are we sure she is dead? It may just be a diabetic coma.

  3. It captures beautifully our love/hate relationship with food. Using oreos is a stroke of genius.

    p.s. cheese is a more nutritious product, and more natural.

  4. Now, why does that strike me as completely beautiful? That's one of my two favorite ways to go...

    Indulgence in them both.

  5. Ciao hard working film lady. Yes! I can certainly think of worse ways to go. But I think she died from exhaustion. So many cookies, so little time.

  6. Now that's how I want to go! Let the oreos do me in... or maybe the cotton candy. Death by SlimFast? Never!!

    Thanks for the link!

  9. She's not dead, it's a oreo coma! Not my favourite though but if you love 'em you'd die for them.

  10. Haha! I haven't had an oreo since my kids were little, i think i may have to go buy some...
    Lola, your last post, is that Simon's Town, S.A.? If it is, that is one of my favorite places on earth! It's the one place I felt at home the moment I arrived.
    ciao darling. ♥

  11. Don't talk to me about oreos, my son adores them and they are not easliy available here so I have to hunt them down when the craze for them gets going.
    Taking my children to America on vivits at a young age has a lot to answer for!!!!

  12. Hey beautiful, I'm glad work is good.

    I always found it was better when I was there. But thinking of having to be there was a total drag.

    Love you.

  13. What a pitcure! Now I've laughed enought to cause the people in the office to wonder what's up!

  14. Hehehe, Lola - that is stellar! I don't eat Oreo cookies, but if I continue to eat as much sushi as I do it's quite likely I'll turn into a piece of seaweed and drift in and out with the tidal flow forever.

  15. ---->looking sheepish. Me again, sorry! Just had to say that I've spent the happiest 45 minutes catching up on the blog posts I missed and re-reading others. Lola, your blog is sheer delight. A wonderfully delicious mixture of food, travel, incisive observation, superb photography, love, life and laughter! Just perfectly perfect. I'll miss your daily posts while you're working, but, like your other fans, will be waiting patiently for your return.
