Monday’s Top Five: Breakfast Foods
Monday, March 16th, 20091: Cheerios
We rarely had sugary cereal around when I was a kid, which was fine with me. I’m more fond of kid’s cereal mascots than I ever was of the cereal itself. Honestly, I’ve always preferred normal Cheerios over even the Honey Nut kind. I should also point out that I never fully understood the cereal in milk thing. I’ll do it occasionally, but I’d rather have crunchy cereal and a glass of cold milk instead of soggy cereal and luke-warm milk.
2: Microwave Burritos
My breakfast throughout most of high school was a microwave bean and cheese burrito and a cup of black coffee. That probably says more about me than it should.
3: Cold Pizza
Everyone knows that half the point of ordering and/or making pizza is the leftovers. What I don’t understand is why some people insist on reheating the slices of cold pizza. If there were a way to melt cheese and cook the toppings without heat, I’d insist that chilled should be pizza’s natural state.
4: Peanut Butter and Jelly
This was my standard breakfast the entire time I lived in Maine. Because of that, I have a hard time thinking of PB&J as anything other than a breakfast food.
5: Restaurant Breakfast-o-Rama
There are few better was to start your morning than a huge breakfast. Unfortunately, making one involves a lot of work before breakfast, which sorta spoils the point. That’s whay Breakfast is my favorite meal to go out for. Of course, given that most folks I know aren’t morning people, it’s also the hardest to arrange.
