I ignore breakfast as a meal because it is too much trouble to wake up earlier to make a meal and I am too much of a snob to reach for a pre-packaged pop-it-into-the-toaster option. Coffee is breakfast with an optional piece of toast and Nutella. Coffee is the base of the food pyramid, no?
Since yesterday I’ve been on an oatmeal kick. I had brought it from the old apartment. Oatmeal doesn’t go bad unless gets moist, than it can grow mold. Or if you realize that it is crawling with little black bugs (I guess book lice or weevils). They weren’t there yesterday, or they weren’t as prominent yesterday… Needless to say, I’m off my oatmeal kick again.
This was the reason why I was never a big oatmeal fan. One of my mom’s co-workers kept a terrarium of mealy worms in oatmeal. My young five year old self couldn’t be convinced otherwise that at the bottom of every canister of Quaker Oats there weren’t more worms.
However, after scouring the internets I found some tricks that might be worth trying – unwrapped spearmint gum and keeping a bay leaf in the flour. Inexpensive and it can’t hurt, right?
