This
week’s blog was prompted by the ever stalwart and trustworthy Bruce Wehr.
Growing
up, my brother and I always ate breakfast before school. It was almost always
made by Grandma, because both our parents worked, and it was almost always some
kind of cooked cereal. Malt-O-Meal, Cream of Wheat, Oatmeal. Once in a great
while there would be bits of cooked bacon in the cereal. I LOVED that! Most of
the time the added ingredient would be raisins, which I enjoyed, but not as
much as bacon.
Once
I got into high school, about all I would have before leaving the house was
coffee. Didn’t feel like fixing anything myself, and this was way before
instant hot cereal in the little packets. Maybe I’d have toast with the coffee.
Nowadays,
my usual breakfast is Winco brand SlimFast powder and 4 heaping teaspoons of
instant orange café powder blended with a cup of milk and half a cup of water.
Then I zap it in the microwave and pour it into my Bubba Mug. And I really,
really enjoy it. When Lia is visiting I usually have regular brewed coffee and
whatever I fix for Lia’s breakfast.
If
I had a cook to fix my breakfast every morning I would have something different
every day. Pancakes, omelets, French Toast, biscuits and gravy and yes, cooked
cereal. But alas, I’m alone every morning…so SlimFast coffee it is…
