… and your bowl.
I’ve actually become accustomed to eating cream of wheat since the cupboard incident. I remembered a summer in college when I lived off of cream of wheat and strawberry jam sandwiches. Well, cream of wheat is pretty healthy, is dirt cheap to make, and best of all – requires a morning ritual, which appeals to my ‘stuck-in-a-rut-and-loving-it’ness. I get to use the tiny pan, my mom’s cool bowls (just over half the tiny one of wheat, half the giant one of water), and a plastic whisk that I searched all over Omaha and Lincoln for but finally found at the Wal*Marts. A sprinkle of dried cranberries (purchased by the half-ton at Sam’s) and some cinnamon sugar and I’m good to go. (Well, good until Second Breakfast. Second Breakfast is extremely important in the course of a day.)
Regarding the title of this post, did you know that cream of wheat is just a grainy step away from being wheat paste? I can’t just toss the bowl in the dishwasher without a soak and a scrub or the bowls become permanently paper-mache’d.
UPDATE: For Beth, this is for you.
I *love* Second Breakfast! I think there should be a time slot for it during the work day.
I’d like to see a picture of your finished product. Well, not finished, because that would be gross. Just prepared and ready to eat.
HA!!!
Done! (There’s an update.)
I eat second breakfast every day. But then I don’t get lunch. But if I had to choose (which I do), I’d choose second breakfast over lunch.
I love second breakfast too…but I think that’s because my 1st breakfast is just a drink…sort of like a breakfast appetizer…but I rarely have a 2nd breakfast…but now, thanks to Deborah’s comment…why not have 2nd breakfast instead of lunch?
No lunch??? Are you people crazy?? Lunch is the third (of six) most important meal of the day!
You should have your own cooking show. I love the video post.
