Aw, set beat me to it.
Onliest reason I drink my tea during the work day, coffee is too dehydrating. I'm much too active under the hot sun. Plus, my wife is no tea drinker. Seems a waste to make seperate pots.

I have loved Shredded Wheat since I was a kid. I was pretty much a purist like you, Set. Put a whole large biscuit in the bowl and broke off bites with the spoon as I went. Lately, I have been into Raisin Bran Crunch. I'm also a lover of Rice Chex and Life. My daughter is always saying I should eat Heart Smart. Maybe I'll break down and try that someday. Maybe. Smile

Weatabix is pretty good occasionally also.

Boy, is the 4th of July boring. I don't eat hot dogs, and I can't stand the spectaculars on TV, with their celebration of nationalism. And there is so little happening on A2K. So I made myself a big bowl of spaghetti with olive oil and garlic--and red wine. The smell of garlic usually helps, but this time the celebration of patriotism with Bush's abuse of the country is a bit too much for good spirits.
Oh, I know. When my pasta goes down a bit I'll crunch on Ginger Granola and have some tea. I never resort to comfort food, but today's an exception.

I had a fun day. Mother-in-law's air conditioner went out, which involved me making more than one ten mile trip each way and ending still not having the right part.

Yeah, it's rare for me, LK, but it's here. The blues. The Bush blues. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't blame EVERYTHING on him.

Scrambled egg substitute and (non-fat) refried pinto beans, with my favorite Orowheat winter wheat bread toasted and coffee.

Man, do I love cereal. My kitchen cabinet is stocked with several varieties from the healthy to the sugary frivolous.

I just read something funny about kellogs corn flakes - they were designed to lessen the male libido. I'll see if I can find the link.

I bet there was never a study to see if it was effective.

I heard somewhere that on the bottom shelves in the cereal section of the market one finds all the highly sugared fruit loop type of cereals, placed low so that the little kids can see them and tug at mothers' dress to buy them. The more adult nourishing stuff is on the higher shelves. How cynical is that?

About as cynical as every other aspect of capitalism.
