Cereal and milk

[robvious]

Guess I'm the only one who eats grape-nuts

I used to when younger... 3 crowns precludes me from pulling the Euell Gibbons

Haven't had Grapenuts for a while. Might have to change that. I let 'em soak in milk for 10 minutes or so. I'd like to keep my teeth!

Krogen…. Gotta get the Grape Nuts flakes. Not those little hard ones.

Back in my band bus days I would eat Grape-Nuts out of the box chased with beer (quite good actually). Chipping a molar put an end to that.

Does anyone think today's cereal is more bland than it used to be? Maybe it's just my taste buds. Of course I'm trying to use less sugar than I used to. Sometimes just go with fruit and a muffin. Eggs once or twice a week.

I have to say I've never had cereal with chocolate milk. I'll have to put that on my bucket list.

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal but some nuts and a shot of that Jack Daniels Honey helps a lot.

When younger and sweating alot, had scrapple, eggs, home fries and toast at least 3 times a week.

Normal breakfast now a days is either oatmeal, or 2 hardboiled eggs and banana, or home fries with onions. Old fashioned oatmeal with cinnamon, diced apple, raisins, blueberries then microwaved 5 minutes. Slice some banana and add some milk.

edited cause i forgot the raisins

I eat a mixture of approx. one third Honey Nut Cheerios and two thirds Crunchy Honey Nut Oats topped with sinful H&H. I use the store brand
cereal, just as good and a lot cheaper.

Our father told us scrapple was made from sawdust - that way he didn't have to share

Sounds like something I used to do.

I learned to eat cereal in a smaller bowl, less milk, eat tge first bowl, then add fresh cereal. This way it is always crunchy. The best part the milk at the end is super concentrated with sugar.

We used to tell the younger generation some story about where shrimp and blue crabs came from, while extolling the culinary value of hot dogs.

Good one! Now, if he had told you what scrapple was really made of, would you have been any more interested to share?

Decades ago due to my dad’s changing health we went to skim milk. Regardless it was always cereal during the week. Weekends allowed mom to strut her stuff in the kitchen a little more lol.

These days for me it’s Special K, either with berries or the fruit and yogurt variety, and Fair Life skim.

On weekends, as I post this as a matter of fact, I treat myself at an amazing pancake restaurant in my neighborhood. Everything in moderation.

As a Boy Scout spam and eggs over a wood fire was a five star meal but I am still suspect of scrapple. We lived in Reading, PA at the time so lots of ring bologna and other "meats." Good eatin'.

Can anyone spell Ham & cheese omelet for breakfast with a side of hash browns & toast? Or may be biscuits & gravy?

I never stopped having cereal with milk for breakfast. The larder isn't properly stocked without multiple types of cereal to give variation during the week. Never did chocolate milk or orange juice on my cereal.

As for the "don't have time for breakfast, straight out of the house" folks, I did it once back in England. By 0930 most of my coworkers were either cowering under their desks or had gone to other buildings to get away from me. After lunch a delegation told me, "We don't care how late you get to work, just make damned sure you've had breakfast before you come through the gate." Hangry didn't cover my mood, apparently.

Do it.

You won't be sorry!

A little off topic but my son fled Cali and bought a house in texas this week. I sent him a Traeger grill yesterday. He sent me a picture this morning.

Big cereal fan here, often eat it for lunch, especially when it's hot out. Kashi cinnamon shredded wheat or Cinnamon Life are my top picks.
