Goes With Milk & Orange Juice

​I think that's gross. I know people do it, but there's no excuse for substiuting orange juice for milk in your breakfast cereal. Orange juice belongs on the side of a nice plate of bacon, maybe some scrambed, a slice of toast, NOT mixed in with your Cheerios. What kind of savage decided that was a good idea.

There's nothing better then cereal in the morning, except for a crisp $100 bill. Cereal is such a trademark of early school mornings where the parents don't have the time to pop down a toaster strudel in the toaster. Cereal is for the lazy at heart.

​Forewarning now, this Tasty Tuesday does not attempt to teach you how to make your own cereal, but instead incorporate cereal into your daily life. And, yes this basic bitch included a recipe for rice krispy treats. 

​Recently, I read about Baby Boomers judging us, the youngins, for not eating cereal for breakfast. We're essentially pisssing on American culture, by going to Starbucks and getting that delicious outmeal with all the dried fruit and brown sugar in the morning. Like, I'm sorry Susie, but isn't it time to put in your catheter? 

​I can't handle these old people with judgmental crusty asses. Sit down. Get off my dick. I'm sorry Frank, but we don't like homophobia and racism. Honestly, don't they have better things to do, then pass a side eye at us for not eating cereal.

I've always been on and off with cereal. I tend to skip breakfast. I'm not hungry. It's not my scene, but there are times when a good bowl of Life cereal hits the spot. Especially if you put some blueberries in it. Maybe chop up some bananas. It makes me feel healthy.

​I have a very boring taste in cereal. It's all very simple, I have dentures kind of food. I love me some Grape Nuts, like the grandma I am. Clearly I'm down with the Life. And, I have been known to enjoy some Corn Flakes in my spare time. 

​Now, I'm not sure why I never got into all those artificially flavor, hyped up with sugar cereals, my parents always kept me in the cart, there weren't having any of that. 

Frosted Corn Flakes are pretty good. I feel my arteries dying, but I'll munch on that any day. Fruity Pebbles have always been too much for me. Their so small. It takes me ten years to get it all out. I'm tired. I'm cranky. I don't have time for this bullshit in the morning. It's the same with Rice Krispies. Snap, crackle, pop, out of my life. 

​If I'm going for sweet cereal I do like my Lucky Charms. I feel a draw to them. My father's ancestry runs Irish and I feel connected to my people that way. 

Also a fun fact about cereal is that the first cereal was created by a vegetarian (not a vegan thank god). It happened in 1863 by a man named James Caleb Jackson. Apparently her ran a sanitorium. Isn't that just a great hearty fact to convince you that cereal is made for you.
