Cereal and milk

[Kinman]

Capt. Crunch right out the bag....Everybody knows what happens when you start eating it before it gets soaked with your milk or substitute, razor blade cuts all over your mouth.
We never use milk, I made my daily oatmeal with apple juice and raisens, added enough cream for smooth, like eating oatmeal cookies for breakfast. The chocolate milk thread was also of interest to me.
When I was a kid we had our choice of cereals: Kix, Cheerios or Corn Flakes...got caught using more than a tablespoon of sugar it was yerass.

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

Later in live learned how to make scrapple. Called it yuppie scrapple cause it had real meat and minimum of fat in it. No nostrils

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

I can! "Tomorrow's breakfast." Did I do OK?

 

[Krogen]

Today it's Frosted Flakes with whole chocolate milk.

"They're GGGRRREATTT!!!"

Would I be wrong to assume you've also had Cocoa Puffs with Chocolate milk?

You did just fine!

Yeah, you get me.

I like chocolate milk on nearly ANY cereal.

Like a fool, I strenuously avoid the really healthy stuff, with the exception of Crunchy Raisin Bran (which is only healthy because it has "bran" in the name).

Those sweet raisins and sugary crunchy bits marinating in the chocolate milk in the refrigerator until the bran flakes soften, which creates a heavenly, chewy mixture that is well worth the 30 minute wait.

Often times, I will discipline myself to put white milk on chocolate flavored cereals and chocolate milk on the others, but sometimes, I weaken.

I love the idea of bacon, ham, eggs, potatoes, pancakes, even oatmeal, etc. for breakfast, and have many, many times, I just usually don't feel like cooking or (cleaning up) for the first meal of the day.

I typically save the above ingredients for the evening repast.

And my hat is off to you who choose more healthy fare.

I'm blessed that I'm still young, active, and healthy (I'm only a few months shy of 70), but my time must inevitably arrive and my Doctor will have the "healthy diet" talk with me.

Big breakfast's in the morning are done at the local eatery. Breakfast for dinner is done at home.

This Reaper squadron used to have "Cereal Killers" on their mission patches. It was dropped as it was later deemed insensitive by the locals.

My parents had us cereal every morning, with milk, of course, and a glass of milk after supper. Now, I can't eat on an empty stomach! Coffee and morning OTC vitamins and either script or OTC pain meds. But I do like me some cereal at night sometimes with Hershey's chocolate and minimal milk. That Hershey's chocolate is the nectar of the gods! (Except in Yuengling Beer. Whoever came up with that *&^&& (horrible combination) should have his man card taken away. In fact, it may have been a wife of some beer drinker that didn't know when to say when. Yes, I think I could live on milk and chocolate Rice Crispy cereal. Cocoa Krispys I think they're called.

Jeff, rest assured that the dulcet nectar, conjured by the wizards of the cocoa bean at Hershey, Pa., has not been a stranger at my breakfast table.

Oddly enough, I've never been a fan of the stuff mixed with milk!

Store bought whole chocolate milk has always been Numero Uno, with Nestle's Quik coming in at a weak second place.

I regard Ovaltine as some sort of patent medicine.

I frequently have a bowl of cereal and milk. follow that with either a bagel or English muffin.
I rotate between:
Fruit loops
Honeynut Cheerios
Frosted Mini Wheats
Sugar Pops
Captain Crunch (peanut butter)

I know, I know....

Great minds think alike

"Cereal and Milk" sounds like a Burl Ives song.

I think it's mentioned in the refrain for "The Big Rock Candy Mountain".

It was the flip side of Silver and Gold.

I omit cereal & milk, and make do with a breakfast of scrambled eggs, covered with sausage gravy, and one slice of wholewheat toast. Every other day I have jelly on ½ of my toast.

At 91 yrs., of age, eating unhealthy food, and getting little exercise, I don’t expect to reach ancient age. I’m afflicted with Rheumatoid arthritis, but I’still have, and use my real teeth, to chew my food. My hair, is still undyed brown. I guess that I’ll just have to accept my physical condition for the rest of my life.

Correction

It probably doesn't mean anything to the folks on this forum, but it does to me. I want to correct my previous post. I was in considerable arthritic pain, and gave an inaccurate statement. My egg breakfasts, alternate between scrambled eggs one day, and a bullseye the next.

I ate cereal as a kid. now I don't eat grain or processed food so it is out.
My dad loved cereal and had an odd habit of "over milking" it. it was a ruse to make himself feel better about seconds. he would get to the bottom of the bowl and lament that it did not come out even and pour more cereal in the bowl.

 

[Rustyt1953]

My dad would also "over milk". He would add cereal in half cup increments to keep a consistent level of crunchidity rather than ending up with a sedimentary layer of chinking in the bottom of the bowl.

Only if Metamucil counts.

Hot oatmeal with brown sugar and honey. Then I add some cold milk to cool it down a bit. Also orange juice and hot Ovaltine, separate, not mixed. Not everyday, but just when I feel motivated.
