What do you have for Breakfast?

Hi Lexie!
You're right, there are lots of sugar based cereals in the store and lots of kids eat them. I don't know how these cereal manufacturers get away with describing a lot of them as a healthy breakfast.

I always make my own cereal. I put some grains through the grain grinder the last thing at night along with about the right amount of water for them to expand. The next morning I start the burner under it and it's ready in 5 to 10 minutes. I also grind coffee beans in the morning and have at least one pot of coffee. I do all my cooking from scratch or as close to it as possible. I grind wheat into flour to make bread, etc., but that's not the norm for around here. Come to think of it, that sort of thing probably isn't the norm anywhere. Oh, well. Who wants to be normal anyway?

the States seemed to have an enormous amount of sugar based cereals

Yeah, ain't America great! Going out in the morning, probably will have biscuits & gravy, bacon and a Dr Pepper.

No wonder Chatter gets so chatty sometimes, he's hyped up on sugar.

After my coffee, I have some more coffee.

If I am home, I have a plain toasted bagel, 1/2 cup of black coffee and a small OJ.

Right now I am in NC and I'll have grits instead in the AM.

Mrs M!! A half cup of coffee??? How do you keep going on that? I'm with pupppy, More coffee!! Usually have a bagel sometime between getting up and noon, or yogurt. But have to save the last spoonful of yogurt for my kitty Charlie. If I eat cereal (usually for supper) I like to mix cheerios and special k. No sugar.

Lol, Chatter!!
Lexie, there are loads of no sugar cereals on the market here. There are so many both with and with no that I could not begin to count.

MG, I am not a real big coffee drinker. I used to drink a pot a day when I was younger, but sort have lost the taste for it, I guess. I do love yogurt too!

Poor Puppy, you are simply wired! LOL!

Oh my, Chatter, we really need to talk about this!!!

You know you're addicted to coffee when ..

• You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.
• You sleep with your eyes open.
• You have to watch videos in fast-forward.
• You can take a picture of yourself from ten feet away without using the timer.
• Your eyes stay open when you sneeze.
• You chew on other people's fingernails.
• The nurse needs a scientific calculator to take your pulse.
• People use you to blend their margaritas.
• You don't sweat, you percolate.
• You walk twenty miles on your treadmill before you realize it's not plugged in.
• You forget to unwrap candy bars before eating them.
• You've built a miniature city out of little plastic stirrers.
• People get dizzy watching you.
• Instant coffee takes too long.
• you have a picture of your coffee mug on your coffee mug.
• You make motion detectors explode.
• You don't wait for the water to boil anymore.
• Your nervous twitch registers on the Richter scale.
• You help your dog chase its tail.
• You soak your dentures in coffee overnight.
• You answer the door before people knock.
• You haven't blinked since the last lunar eclipse.

Puppy and Chatter...you guys are making me

A red X is nice, Chatter!

Chatter, you are just a volume of cereal information! Lol!!

I got back from NC about 2 AM and I sort of feel like this about now! I ran into a lot of heavy rain from Alex which made a slow trip. Hope the weather is good by this coming week when I move!

So Mrs.M... you're not moving in next to another golf course are you?

I don't think they do that as much in the 'Tar Heel State'.

No, Puppy....if the storm hits, maybe not a house!! Lol!

Well you'll have those cardboard boxes you could move into.

Your all heart Puppy.

OMG!!! And what happens when the hen eats Cocoa Puffs?....oh... so that's where brown eggs come from! Chatter, I think.....you might have taken a fall and landed on your head?.... ohhhh no, of course not!

Off the subject, but you got to see this auction. Notice the starting price of .99 then scroll towards the bottom and read the contract!! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4316612519

hmmm... all their auctions are like that. I guess everyone will be happy except eBay that gets cheated out of the final value fee. (and the ones that don't read all the terms)

Puppy, I happened upon it on another forum. A lady bid on it and won without reading the contract. She was really upset as you can imagine. I know...always read the entire auction before bidding. I am surprised Ebay has not stopped this guy!

It's gone now. I missed it.

They missed >this one<. I think this is the same person.

As Charlie Brown would say, GOOD GRIEF!

So, how many did you order Puppy

I bid on all the ones I really needed. Same problem as on Free Snipe Friday...

So they are getting their money out of the shipping instead of the cost? Heh, kinda clever really, if people fall for it. Ebay has certainly made some bucks off me this last month. But, I guess if it weren't for the exposure I wouldn't have sold as much for the price. So I guess it's fair. Wish the gallery photos were a little cheaper tho......really adds up!
