NYT editors don’t eat Cheerios. The only solid breakfast food they consume are the olives that go with their early morning martini.

I’m sure you’re correct, but “weeping into their early-morning martini olives” doesn’t pack the same humorous punch as the Cheerios line. I took a little journalistic license with the essay, and assuming that NYT editors are sorta similar to regular humans was one of the points I stretched.

Well, there’s artistic license, then there’s sailing off the edge of the world. :wink:

You’re right. Gotta rein that in a bit.

Or the same thing using yellow summer squash or zucchini. (Blech, butternut squash.)
[/QUOTE]

An alternative for yellow squash is:

  1. Fry a few bacon slices in a pan. Remove when done.
  2. Drain off all but a few tablespoons of the bacon fat.
  3. Drop in slices of yellow summer squash, a thinly-sliced onlon, and crumble some of your cooked bacon rashers over it.
  4. Saute until squash is crisp-tender. Don’t overcook until it is mushy!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh…

Great story, but how in the heck are you going to get a unbiased jury now you have blabbed about it all over the Dope? Monroe County’s gotta be chock full of Dopers!
