regular blog brkfst post of today’s brkfst
oh hey, didn’t see you there. well, I have a bit of a story for you anyway. say, you’re looking pretty good, I like your hair these days. I had a bit of a craving for something today, something crazy yet refined, something wheat-like, something in milk yet in bar form. I had today, this day, march 31 2009, (at) 9:30 am, some cereal of wheat in biscuit form. also known as weetabix to some. I consulted my ‘cold cereal cookbook*’ and remembered that cereal goes into the bowl first and then milk. cereal is poured in dry to about three quarters of the height of the bowl (or as much as you feel like), then milk, wet, is poured in cold (the colder the better I always say) and gently. the utensil of choice was the spoon today. I enjoy using a larger concave spoon as to hold a bit of the cereal and equal portions of milk. today was no ordinary cereal day I tell you what. today I added in a mixed fruit salad that was prepared the night before by my mother. it included orange pieces, mandarin wedges, apples chunks, and strawberry hunks. the CCC (cold cereal cookbook) advises one, when “adding fruit, or other objects of addition into the cereal, one must remember to mix properly and thoroughly, and not too add so much of the additional object that it overflows the bowl causing spillage of milk and other objects from the bowl” pg. 103, section B, “cereal bowl additions and you.”
and so, as the end of brkfst drew nigh, I thought “my goodness, what a complicated way to make cereal.”
*cold cereal cookbook is from a gary larson cartoon. I cannot take credit for that line as it was such a hilarious line when I happened to stumble upon it about 5 or 8 years ago.
