Cereal Mix!


As a child there was a breakfast I dreaded... the container that had the good cereal mixed with the nasty flakes and granola. Everything was put in one bowl, mixed and thus we were coerced to eat the healthy cereal. I used to shake that thing to get all the marshmallows and raisins out to make my bowl better thus making the next one less sugary ... Well... um... I just did that...

We have a lot of cereal around. I don't eat much of it. I'm more of a 'zone-bar-in-the-morning-is-
the-easiest-breakfast-EVA' person. Matt (I swear he is not allowed to go shopping anymore) bought some Lucky Charms and Cinnamon Toast crunch. "It was on sale!" (May I quote Thomas Jefferson... and Mom? "Never buy what you don't want because it is cheap." You want to lose weight? You Don't want Lucky Charms. They're unlucky for you sweetie. He eats it in the morning and I eat my zone bar. Meanwhile the Cherrios, granola and raisin bran sits on the top of the fridge uneaten. I'm cleaning and out of curiosity, look at the expiration dates. September. Hm. I got a BIG bowl, put them all together, put the lid on, shook it... VOILA! We're gonna finish them ALL at the SAME TIME! Muahaha! My childhood dread turned into glee.
